hmm Monday

the day started off kind of crazy today with the kiddos...but luckily once Liam went down for his nap and Chloe had quiet time it got better and I was able to enjoy some quiet and watch 2 of my shows that I missed last night :) I havent had an afternoon like that in quite some time so it was nice to be a little lazy for a bit! 


Last week I sent out my resume to about 15 places up in New York and today I sent out 5 more and guess what?!?!?! I got a call from one of the places. It was even one of the ones I applied to this morning which got me excited! It's a place in Southhampton and they are very interested in me and love all of the experience I have. When I told them I wouldn't be local for another month she said it was no problem just to contact her when I was close to moving or once I got up there and we would setup a time for me to come in and check out the school! The hours are perfect and we wouldn't have to worry about anyone to watch Chloe and Liam until September when Sean starts school. And at that point Chloe will be in kindergarten so we will only have to worry about Liam and hopefully Sean can arrange his class schedule around my work schedule. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying that when we move and I contact them, that they will still be just as interested :) 
I am a little nervous at kind of switching roles with Sean, but at the same time I am very interested in seeing how things would go with him being at home with the kids for 5 months :) I think it will be pretty great for him and the kids to get all that time together too
This next month and beyond is full of alot of new things for our family so I'm looking forward to whats in store for us :) 




Today I started my Chloe project...Quote for today, "Liam it's not so funny, it's so sad!" 
She was in trouble for something and was crying and Liam started laughing, he usually doesn't laugh when she's upset, he usually gets upset along side her so thats what made this a perfect quote for today! 
Chloe is 4 1/2 today...can't wait to see how the next 1/2 of the year goes with her :)

Fun, Rainy Sunday!

This morning we went to church and it was kind of one of those days where you didnt want to get out of bed, especially since it looked kind of dreary outside. But we got up and got ready and headed to the service. The kids were good while we were there which was great. In the beginning they moving around alot but during the sermon they sat pretty still which was nice. 


On the way home we headed to the commissary quickly to pick up some things for lunch! 
We made pizza dough with our kitchen aid mixer which makes me love that thing even more :) 
Then my friend Ginger and her kids, Lillian and Thomas came over to play and have lunch
The kids played while Sean and I made the pizza's and then we called Chloe and Lillian in when it was time to put the toppings on! They were soo cute and had fun the whole afternoon and of course the pizza turned out great! Here are some pictures from today! I'll have to steal some of the boys that Ginger took and post again later :)

CHEESE! 

DELICIOUS!
 An old friend of ours has visited with us for a few nights while he was in the area and he got to the house this afternoon right before we started the pizza's. After we ate the girls decided to play restaurant, take their orders and serve them! It was soo cute and soooo funny! The guys ended up complaining, so Lillian as the Manager and Chloe as the Server, kicked them! Told them to pay their bill and LEAVE!! LOL

Sean and his friend Ed, eating at the girls restaurant

After Ginger and the kids left we had some quiet time. Liam napped and is still napping, Chloe had quiet time in her room, Sean and Ed played XBOX and I had some quiet time for myself :) It's been a nice rainy, Sunday!

Thirty One Gifts! I love 31!

I haven't posted much about Thirty One since I became a consultant back in the Fall but today I def have to post about 31 because I love this company more and more :) It's soo much fun so how could I not love it!!?!


A friend from church hosted a party this weekend and it was ALOT of FUN!! Chloe wanted to be my big helper so she helped me throughout the morning to make sure that I had everything that I needed to take along with me. She loves that Thirty One is always in pink so as we were putting the catalogs together with order sheets, paper for the drawing and business cards she made sure we only used PINK paper clips! She is so cute and so helpful, I love it! Even at the party she passed out the catalogs to each person that attended. 
The party was a BIG success and the hostess walked away with a lot of FREE stuff and two half priced items! It can't get better than that :) She even likes the idea of becoming a consultant herself and with all she got she is well on her way to having a variety of products to show others once she gets started! 

I am still booking parties for the month of March and April if anyone that I know locally in the Fayetteville area wants to host one so you just have to let me know and we can do one before I move!! 
And along with bookings for here, I am open to booking parties in PA, NY and even NJ for anyone that is back home and would like to be a hostess, they can start booking for April, May and June and we can get you some FREE stuff too!! 


Anyone that refers someone to me will also get $5 off their next order so be sure to tell your friends and make sure they let me know you referred them! 


One of the biggest things I LOVE about 31 is the fact that they have customer and hostess specials every single month! You don't have to spend alot to get the special so its really great! 


*In March all customers that spend $31 can get a purse of their choice at 1/2 OFF!!

*In April all customers that spend $31 can get an All-in-One-Organizer at 1/2 OFF!!


Since I'm posting about 31 today, I went around today and took photos of some of my favorite everyday items! Here they are :)
Large Utility Tote..I love this! We use it in the living room for the kids toys and more for laundry and groceries

Thermal Lunch tote *Love this too...we use this everyday when we got out, pack up Chloe and Liam's snacks and drinks!

Picnic Thermal Tote. Chloe loves going to the park and having a picnic so this comes in handy!

Organizing Utility Tote...Love using this when we go out and are gone for most of the day! It can hold everything we need! Can be used as a diaper bag even! 

Albany Bag has been my everyday purse lately plus I always have my wristlet wallet with me :) Love them both!!

Mini-on-the-go-organizer... I use this to carry my handy FLIP video camera!! soo cute and handy :) 


I have so many more FAVS! and am always ordering new things! If I could I would probably just purchase the whole catalog! LOL if anyone wants to check out Thirty One for themselves check it out at www.mythirtyone.com/mrsfen or just get ahold of me and I will answer any questions and help you do any of your shopping!


MY SITE IS TEMPORARILY DOWN! Contact me to place any orders!! Sorry for any inconvenience!


Well thats all for now..until next time!

Sooo thankful for good friends

Today I had two good friends reach out to me when they noticed that something was wrong and I was in need of a good talk and it was really great! I am so glad that I have such great friends, old and new, that I can talk to about things and it makes me feel 10 times better!! I am sooo thankful that I am lucky enough to have such great friends :) 


Its great to have people that can somehow relate to your life experiences and are able to see why you are the person you are because of your past life experiences and still accept you. My past has definitely shaped me. I am the way that I am because of everything that has happened to me in my life and even though at times I feel angry, sad, upset and embarrassed about things that have happened in my life, I am thankful that I have been able to learn from everything, grow and make my life the way I choose for it to be and not use excuses as an explanation for doing wrong. 


Thank you to those who have been such great friends to me!! :) 
You are the best!!!

March Madness!

I can't believe that March is already here and we are 3 days into the month! Where did Jan and Feb go?! 
ALOT is happening for us this month...on Monday we added our home to the rental market. We will still keep it listed For Sale but we really do not want to leave Fayetteville and have an empty house here. So please pray we are able to rent or sell it in the next few weeks! 

We arranged our moving date with the Army...they will come in the last few days of the month and pack up our whole house, then they will move it to New York. The first week of April will be our last week here so because everything will be moved out we plan to stay in an extended stay until Sean signs out on the 8th


Today I took the kids to storytime :) We haven't gone in quite awhile so it was kind of special today and I really enjoyed the time with my two kiddos <3 Liam is now big enough to sit on the bench with the other kids so he did it for the first time today and loved it! He stayed there the whole time during the story and just listened while he held a book in his lap. After the story the kids colored and played with the train set before we picked out the books they were going to get and headed over to Starbucks. Chloe loves the muffins there so we got a muffin, chose a table and shared the muffin and read the books that we picked out! Chloe got a Tangled book because Rapunzel is her new favorite! And Liam got a Mickey Mouse book because Mickey is his FAV! :)

We Love the Park!!

It has been a great end of the week and weekend :) Beautiful weather and ALOT of fun at the park this week!!

We went to the park with new friends this week! Well not really new but kind of new I guess you could say lol. Its a funny story of how good Chloe is at making friends everywhere we go and remembers EVERYTHING!
She made friends with a little girl in the Tricare office back early in January and then a few days later we go to dance class and the little girl is in her dance class! Chloe and Lillian just so happen to be the same age and she has a little brother, Thomas who is the same age as Liam! :) Ever since the boys have spent time playing together while the girls are in dance class and the momma's talk :) Its been really nice and alot of fun having new friends to hang out with, but will be sad to say goodbye in the near future!

Saturday went to the park with Heather and the kids and had lunch afterwards! We haven't done it in awhile so it was much needed lol and we had alot of fun!!! We are really going to miss them when we move too! And talking about our move made me realize how soon it really is. We only have 5 weekends left in Fayetteville...exciting but sad all at the same time! I'm excited for the next part of our life to begin but sad to say goodbye to good friends and leave the house we've made home for the past few years.

Today after church we went home and changed and had lunch then went out to the park with daddy! :) It was so beautiful out today that we had to get out of the house! And Chloe and Liam love with daddy comes with us too! It reached 80 today so we didnt stay out in the sun for too long but the kids had a great time playing on the slides and swings and running all over the place!
Liam is getting so much better at walking now...this whole week he just keeps doing it more and more. He can turn and change the direction he is walking without falling over and he can stand up without holding onto anything to pull him up! It's been amazing to watch the changes. Chloe loves trying to get him to walk to her and do things with her and now with him walking better, they play together alot more :) I keep catching them in Liam's room playing together with the kitchen set! Its sooo cute! I love my two little babies sooo much!! <3

Now the kids are in bed and I'm going to watch a movie with my bayba before we head to bed! It will be very nice that tomorrow will be my first day in a long time where I don't have to wake up to my alarm :) The kids and I are already planning to take advantage of the nice weather tomorrow by going to the gym and then to the park :)
