John and I have 3 kiddos, Lucy 8, Mady Kate 5, and Jack is 19 months. I am a stay at home mom except for I'm not home very much. I also "stage" houses part-time. My alarm goes off at 6 am, but I push snooze at least 5 times before I get up. I want to write a book, but have no time. I sew but I can't follow a pattern. Love Patsy Cline. I think old people are cute and I am sad if I see one sitting alone in a restaurant. I have a beautiful voice in the shower. I hate bugs and love to swim. I'm obsessed with polka dots and sour candy. White linens and great fabrics make me smile. I love where we live and I believe that I have the most super friends ever. My middle child is just like me and I am super nervous about that:). Lucy, my oldest, gets my humor and laughs at my jokes. She is way smarter than I ever was. Jack is precious and all boy.I love them all so much. God has blessed me so. I never thought at 30 I would be the mother of 3 and drive them around in my minivan!!!!! Right now I am still cool, I give it 2 years...

Get rid of and make money!!!!!

Lately I have been trying to come up with creative ways to save money. John being the only one of us working full time+ 3 kiddos things get a little tight, well alot tight. Saturday I am having a garage sale. I LOVE having garage sales. I have one a year and sometimes more than that. The kids are constantly outgrowing their clothes and shoes and I also have "outgrown" alot of mine too. It's amazing how people actually get out early to see my "junk". We are hoping to get all 5 of us out and working. ( Jack will entertain). My friend Angela D. is the person to ask about going to and having "yard sales". She actually wants to write a book about it. Like, "Yard Sales for Dummies". She has taught me so much about the do's and don'ts of the sale. 1. Do not waste time or money pricing things. 2. Always have atleast 1 piece of furniture in your sale. 3. Have all baby gear and clothes up front and clearly stated on your sign. 4. Have a sale at the end of summer or the end of winter. 5. Merchandise your items like it's a store. Have I bored you all to tears? If you live in Hernando and have something to sell, call me and bring it over for a joint sale. Fun stuff. I'll come back to report on my very small sale.
