We finally put the sign out... so it is now official. We are selling our house. I am excited, scared and nervous all at the same time! Next May is when we will be leaving this beautiful area, but we really wanted time to sell our place on our own. With today's market, it is hard to say what a place like ours will sell for; and we wanted to make it as affordable as possible. Hence, the for sale by owner route.
So the sign is up, the website made, and the hope is alive.
Wish us luck.

This Moment
{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see. ~Amanda Soule

April One Small Change
I had a hard time trying to decide what to do for our April One Small Change (brought by Hip Mountain Mama). So I chose two different things:
#1: Hang out the laundry on the line when the weather permits. And I only add that because it could still snow here realistically (we still have the studs on our car!) I can't wait to do this every year, but this year seems so hectic, so I feel like having this as our Change, I will be more apt to follow through.... wish me luck!
#2: Take a plastic bag to pick up trash on my walks. Every time I go on a walk, I am saddened by the amount of trash that is just littering the roadway. I always think about picking it up, but often forget a bag... so I am going to work on that. Besides, my walking has increased with the better weather, and the need to get out of the house after dinner :)

March One Small Change
Our March One Small Change was so simple... we turned down the thermostat every night to 60-62 F. Simple enough, and SO effective! Especially if you have a programmable one (which we don't).
Looking at our February (that is when we started this change) and March energy bills, we have cut our usage almost in half compared to last year!! Granted, it probably wasn't as cold this year as it was last... still - what a result! Who knew something so easy could make such an impact!
Stay tuned for our April change ... I will post about it later today!

First Bath
Kellen got his first bath about a week ago (He is 3 weeks old today!! Where does the time go???) His belly button wasn't completely healed, but seems to be doing good. He is such a CUTE little baby, and so sweet. Yesterday, I swear he smiled at me for a while... love it! He is getting fussy at night, but it is par for the course, right?

visit with Grammy!
Grammy was here visiting, a little over a week ago; but of course, time escaped me! S here are some pics:
We had alot of fun over that weekend, with lots of games played, good food made, naps were taken, and even some pretty christmas ornaments made! The kids had a wonderful time (and so did the adults!!)
I have started my walking regiment; getting out there every(?) day. I am also trying to be more conscious of what I am eating... not just to drop the baby weight, but to see what affects Kellen, too. He is definitely showing more typical baby qualities... fusing in the evening; not letting us eat dinner peacefully (whatever that is, right?!); and waking up frequently at night. Still, he is very sweet and I can't get enough of him! I love to have him sleep on my chest, and catch his little grins! Babies!
