Cleaning, Christmas, and food.

Life goes so fast I never have time to catch my breath. Ha…and I’m about to have a baby. I’m guessing that this is just God’s way of preparing me for motherhood. :) Life is good though. I started blogging because I needed something to keep my occupied…like a hobby. I have started to realize that I am picking up the ‘hobby’ of cleaning. YIKES! My mother probably never saw that coming. I just can not seem to ever get my house clean enough! I can never have a single dish in the sink. (And I don’t have a dishwasher, unless that includes my hands and a sponge) For some reason the thought of having one dirty dish drives me crazy. I hate having any dirty laundry, although that one always seems to be around. And even if I wipe the counter down 20 times it still needs to be wiped just one more time. My poor husband, dealing with a frantic wife. But he does have a clean house.

So more exciting things, I finally got the ornaments and light off the tree! Now we just need to get it out of the house now. We have been kind of slow with the whole process. It is our first Christmas though.

I have decided that I want to learn how to make more things from scratch. Seth and I have already started making our own bread and butter (yum), but I am getting sick of using so many quick fixes in my food. Like taco seasoning or adding a can of Campbell’s soup for flavor. I want to add my own spices to our taco’s or find out what the main ingredient is that’s in the soup but without all the processed ‘crap’. I think it will be fun and taste better. Also it’s probably better for me and Elina. I think it will be good practice for cooking for my baby girl! I know that she won’t be eating for a while, but when she does we are going to try to not feed Elina store bought baby food. We want to make it ourselves. I was reading some statistics and they blew me away! We want to be healthy examples to our kids! So we will start out young. Steamed mashed peas! Yummy!

It is about 12:40 am and I am growing very tired. Good night.
