Day 1
Well, I did it. I went to the gym this morning at 6:30am. I need to go earlier though. It interfers with my husband getting ready for and getting to work on time. So, I will try and get out quicker tomorrow morning. Next thing to do for a 21 day challenge is giving up Dr. Pepper. That will be ugly, and I am not sure if I or my family will survive it. For now though, just getting my gelatinous rear to the gym in the morning is enough.
I did start cutting fabric for a diaper bag that I am making for a woman in my MOPS group. I got all of the exterior fabric cut and now I need to get the interior and the interfacing cut. Then on to the pinning and sewing. YIKES, that is the part that scares me. I am glad however that I decided to cut templates out of cardboard and then lay those on my fabric instead of just making random cuts. I would have cried a river if I had done that. What made sense in my mind for a layout turned out that I would have run out of fabric. I would have to have gone back and bought more fabric. That after I cried a river.
Well back to cleaning. I just picked up the kitchen and I have to run to the store to get stuff to make dinner for tonight. I am trying this new thing of doubling my meals and then freezing half for another day. Today is my first attempt at that.
Have I told you that I STILL suck at couponing????? In case I have not told you lately, yeah I STILL SUCK at it. I will just keep on trying.

21 day challenge
It takes 21 consecutive days to create a new habit. So, I am going to start a new 21 day challenge on the first day of every month. This month it is going to be getting to the gym every morning. Tomorrow is not technically the beginning of the month, but I am going to start on Monday. Why put it off an extra day?
I have finished my buttercup purse. You can go to MadebyRae .blogspot. com or click on the links to see the purse. I am going to make three more of them, two as Christmas presents and one for me. It was done in three hours. Not bad really. I thought it was going to be much harder than it turned out to be. I am almost done with my birthday reminder project, I need to get ribbon and the birthdays written on it and it will be done and ready to hang. I need to get pictures together and post them on here.
Well, that is all for now.
TTFN,

My Goals
So, I have goals that I would like to achieve. Do you want to see the list. Oh good cause here it is:
- Learn to Coupon and save money (so far I am really bad about this.)
- Finish all unfinished projects from my list of projects to finish (I just added a new one to this. Why???? I have no clue.) If I could I would link this but it is a word doc and I don’t know how to do that. Sorry.
- Keep the house clean (hahaha)
- Finish reading Creative Correction by Lisa Welchel and start being a better parent
- Implement all of the great ideas from a book I just read Creative Home Organizer by Emilie Barnes.
- Lose weight, exercise goes with this
- Put up the pictures of my house that need cleaning and organizing
- Do my devotional EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Create a recipe list of all the recipes we like to eat. This will help with the couponing thing.
- Do the Beth Moore Get Out of That Pit devo and journal (hopefully get out of the pit) It is a completely different blog as to why I am there.
That is a long list. Given that it also contains lists within the lists.
I recently read the afore mentioned book and I plan to go and re-read it and get the ideas out of it that I like and start implementing them by order of importance.
I SUCK at couponing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I think that is it for today. I need to get a move on and make dinner.

Hello
So, this is my first post. WordPress is a little confusing to me so things will change as I go along.
I am a stay at home wife and mom. I thought that being a SAHM would be so easy I would have the house clean and food cooked and on the table when my husband got home and that each day would be happy go lucky. Not so!!!!!!!!!!! The house is NEVER clean. I rarely have dinner ready in time for my husband. I love my daughter, but she takes all of my energy during the day.
I have tried several attempts to become a Domestic Diva and failed miserably. So, I thought maybe if I blog through this in the next year I could become a Domestic diva. It could happen.
My goals are to become a savvy couponer, keep the house clean and get on a cleaning schedule. I am not sure how this will all go, but in my mind it will go great.
I keep asking myself why have a blog, I know there are no readers out there. I am not making this blog known to people at church or my family so word won’t get out about it, but it could be fun to see if there is the occasionaly reader.
That is pretty much all for today.
TTFN,
