So yesterday I had a "BIG" day.. I turned 30!! and I guess with this big day comes some changes in my life. I have realized that I am too busy to enjoy anything.. well busy to me at least. Between staying at home raising my kids, continuing to do "major" projects at home.. and trying to finish launching the Ninnie and Yaya website.. I can say my plate feels full and some changes need to me made!!!!
I looked back and realized that I have made 19 posts in the last year.. that is like 1 1/2 post per month.. I used to do them weekly.. what happened.. well I would like to blame it on how slow the pictures upload.. but do I not even have time to wait??? YIKES!!! So I am going to try my hardest to get back on track with my weekly posts.. We have had almost 4000 views in the last 3 years.. so obviously people are looking.. and I love looking back at my old posts to see how much the girls have grown!!!!
Back to me turning 30 and the changes that are being made.. well I can remember when I was 20 and someone asked me..where do you see yourself in 10 years???? Good questions, you think to yourself even though 10 years seems like FOREVER away.. I think I remember saying I think I will be married with kids and have a successful job.. Fast forward 10 years.. and it is here.. and it came so FAST!!!! How did I do?? Did I get what I wanted??? Am I were I thought I would be??? Pretty close I would say.. I have been happily married to the best husband in the world for 5 years, I have two beautiful girls.. WOW.. pretty close.. except for one thing.. "the successful job".. do I have one?? Well I did.. I worked for an awesome company for 5 years, and did pretty well. Then we had the early arrival of Miss Ava B.. WOW THAT THREW US FOR A LOOP!!! It was always the plan for me to continue to work and for Drew to actually stay home.. well good thing that things changed.. (there is no way he could have done it!!!). So after having Ava come early, there was no way that I could go back to work.. So my successful job became a stay at home Mommy.. am I successful??? I don't really know.. I guess my success is measured on how well kids act.. or how well they are growing right?? Or is my success measured on how I feel I am doing and what others say?? It is not like I get a review and can have goals I set for myself to reach... or do I?? OR should I??? That will be my new GOAL.. look at my successes and set a monthly goal for myself to try and reach..whether it is as a Mother, Wife, for myself, financially.. I going to give it a try!!!! I will post my monthly goals and then post my results and see if I become more "successful in my career."
I have already made some changes and I have been 30 for a day... Last week I took a lot of my old (and expensive:)) clothes, handbags, shoes etc. and put them on eBay.. am I trying to start fresh???? We recently redid our living room floor, bought tile to re-due our kitchen floor, enclosed our loft to a third bedroom.. and there are so many more smaller things I have started as well... We are in the process of switching our Ninnie and Yaya blog to website (ninnieandyaya.com) it is up.. just have to find the time to upload all the info for 350 items... and a local kids hair salon has picked up my stuff.. so I have been busy making lots of stuff... AHHH!!! I think I need to slow down!!!!!!!
So stayed tuned for my new monthly goals!!!!!!!!
Now and update on my peanuts!!!

Running and having fun:)
Miss Lila ladybug..getting so big...
Ava B.. always on the go..

The big 3-0. Happy Birthday, again! I hope you had a great day. I am also working on a goals list. I have a few things already. I figure in the next 10 years there is so much we can accomplish!
The girls are cuter than ever!
Looking forward to more blog posts!
I love the goal-setting business...though I'd have to say that I think you are successful in ALL areas of your life! As your job as a mom you are awesome, and you can tell by looking at your little angels! :)
I'll be in on the goals game too... first up, I need to MOVE! :)
