I guess this new entry, 8 months after the last, pretty much sums up how life has been with 3. Busy, chaotic, and exhausting! We are approaching Little W's first birthday and I finally feel like I may be getting back on my feet. To say it has been difficult is an understatement, but we have survived and are better for it. Everyone has grown up so much and there are too many stories to share. Good thing I keep a little journal for each kid, so when the fog clears I can look back on it and laugh!
Now is a time for us to regroup and move forward. I've found the desire to do a little "life makeover" and have been working on little things each day. We are working to become a little more "green" and to improve our food choices. I have been looking into organic produce and grass fed animals. We will see how much of this we can change on a budget. I am hoping that we can incorporate some of these changes little by little.
Today I took my first step into preparing some items I normally purchase from scratch. In lieu of fruit snacks, I am attempting homemade fruit roll-ups. I found some overripe apricots at the Farmer's Market and decided to puree them and turn them into a yummy, healthy snack (I hope!).
As for going a little more "green," we are starting with changing from paper napkins to cloth. I found some cute flannel napkins on Etsy that should arrive for the kids soon and I know we have some in our hutch that my husband and I can use. I am going to look into green cleaning products next and ditching the paper towels.
This is a lot of change, but change is good. There are lessons to be taught to our kids and I hope to use this blog as a way keeping a record of the progress we make.
