house project & other things

Well... it has been over 2 weeks since I last blogged! YIKES... Please bare with the long entry.

Nothing eventful has really happened over the past 2 weeks. I have not been going to school and only work 2 or 3 evening per week. I have been trying to clean my house, which I don't necessarily feel motivated to do most days... so I just putts around doing laundry and washing dishes.

We have been making progress on our home! This summer project is replacing all our windows and residing. We currently have 10 windows in our tiny home. One was replaced in October after a golfball went through it in August. We order 7 new windows - 2 of them are going to make more space for future cabinets in the kitchen an a coat rack in the entry way. 3 down; 4 to go!! And 2 sides of our house are torn down to the tar paper, leaving a LARGE pile of cedar shake siding piled on a tarp in the corner of our yard until we get a dumpster. So excited to get this all done!

We have lots of remodeling plans with our home and it is quite the adventure. I try to be patient through the whole thing, but it is not something I can do on my own! The flooring is missing in some places, we do not have dry wall up in many spots, my kitchen is a horrible use of space, and my oven only works half the time. This is frustrating to me, especially the kitchen because I LOVE to cook... so thankful to be getting a NEW kitchen next spring!

I have also become a Shaklee distributor. My mom thinks I'm trying to see how many companies I can become a distributor for... Mary Kay, Herbalife, Shaklee... I know, I know, its a little extensive. Mary Kay is something I am still trying to work at after over a year, but am just not very successful with. Herbalife I am only a distributor so I can get the 35% discount to buy my products. And this new Shaklee thing...I am VERY excited about! I started using the cleaning supplies last month to support a friend who has recently become a distributor. If you spend $30 you can become a member for FREE...so I did. Now I absolutely LOVE the cleaning supplies and was able to become a distributor with out paying a fee. How wonderful! I am excited to see where this goes. I am passionate about making my home a healthier and safer place for my family and I want to share it with others!!! Praying for the business to grow and help support our family that will be expanding someday in the future while being a stay-at-home mom.
