A Mom's week

It was beautiful outside yesterday. The weather and temperature were perfect. If only the weather could stay this way. Although it's not Fall just yet, it's starting to feel that way. Can you smell it?

After we ran some important errands yesterday, I took the boys outside to play. We had a blast playing golf in the yard with dollar store golf sticks. We played outside for 2 hours and I'll admit I had just as much fun as the kids. I've been very busy lately with my home business and this fun break was very much needed. I take the boys outside everyday but usually I let them play while I write, read, or catch up on some work on the laptop.

Since I started sticking to my new "get up a few hours before everyone" schedule, I've been feeling much more in balance. I guess as much as balanced as I can be anyway considering I work at home and both kids are at home.

A few days ago we ( my 5 year old & I) made this for our door. It's a fun Fall learning activity that we found online. Today my 5 year old and I are making a book. Yep, he wants to make his very own book. He can't read yet but he is very good at writing/copying words, coming up with ideas, and drawing so we are going to work together on this. I'll post some photos when we are done.

I've noticed lately that my comments section is pretty weak. So come on out and de-lurk today. If you read my blog, I'd love to know and I'll add you to my ever growing blogroll if you arent already there. It only takes a minute to leave a comment. :) *Oh, and I'm asking you on what you want to see here. Give me some suggestions on what you want me to share. I'm pretty open. I know I have a bunch more readers ( some new family & friends too) than comments so I'd just like to know who some (or all) of you are.

Also, if you haven't already go check out the top toddler mom blog and go look at some new blogging jobs I posted about on Jobs For Stay at Home Moms. It may be something for you.

Cute craft y'all did there.
And golf sounds fun. We play in the backyard sometimes and my kids are so much better at it than I am. (of course, that's not saying much!)

My daughter and I have been loving the weather lately, too. We get outside everyday (I think we'd be a little nuts if we didn't), but the past few days have been perfect.

I've been reading your blog for a while now. I've enjoyed reading about how you balance work at home and family life as that is something I'm struggling with now. I take a little time at night after everyone else is in bed to get some work done. I wish I could get up earlier, but I'm so not a morning person.

Thanks for adding me to your blogroll!

That's awesome that your 5 year old wants to make a book. Sounds like he may take after mom and become a writer!
