Lovin' these pageviews

Whoever is reading my blog, thanks a bunch. Even though I dont have any comments on my posts, I'm not worried about that. I kow that people, where ever they are in the world is looking at my blog.

But, anyways, today was a good day. Cayce and I woke up and Cayce helped me around the house. He put the clothes away and did the dishes. So, I made a great supper. I made cheesy chicken spaghetti, and corn on the cob. Also, chocolate chip muffins for dessert.

Well, Cayce is about to be home from work, and the kids are fighting.
Night world.

Non Eventful Day

Today I got to sleep in since having Adalyn. I woke up around 10. Didn't really do much besides house work and Swagbucks. We're hoping that the car is fixed. We think that Cayce put too much oil in and some got into the spark plugs. We pray that, that is the problem and not the headgasket. Cayce took the car for a test drive and he met up with our pastor from our church and got his recycling and went to the dump. Still having potty training trouble. I made a beef and mushroom lasagne for supper. Didn't look the way I hoped it would, but it was very tasty. Going to do some more yard work in the morning because we are having Ariana's 2nd birthday party at our house this year. Not feeling very well, so I'm going to bed. Hopefully, I'll feel better in the AM.

Goodnight World.

Potty Training Woes & Car Trouble

Sorry that I haven't posted in the last few days. I have been busy with chores and my girls that I haven't had any me time.

I have been potty training my 3 year old for over a year now. Yes, A YEAR. She is finally peeing in the potty on a regular basis, but pooping, I swear it will be the death of me. She has accidents constantly and doesn't let us know when she has to poop but she does when she has to pee or she just goes by herself.  I'm stressing out and sometimes it is frustrating, but all I can do is watch her and tell her to go potty every 30 mins or so.

Last night when Cayce was on his way home from work, he said the car felt sluggish. So he put more oil in and thought that would help. Today we had to run some errands and it seem like the car was ok, but then on our way to Wal-Mart, smoke started coming out of our tailpipe, and we had to head back home so we didn't break down. We are praying with all our might that it isn't the headgasket. If it is, we will be without a car until we get the money to fix it.

If anyone is reading this, I would love some comments or helpful potty training advice. Thanks so much.

Couponing Addict

I love coupons. It's free money. Me and my fiance started back in November when we bought our first house. We quickly got our stockpiles started with what we had and everything went from there. I started Swagbucks in January, and it is more addicting to Pinterest. It's my online free money and I can get coupons from there and get rewarded for that. I'm always looking for deals for my family. I dont get the dirty looks in the store, I always say hello to my fellow couponers. My daughters will learn to coupon and how to save money for the future families. Well, I have to go. I got more chores to do.

Late Post

Don't have much to say tonight. Got up early this morning, and went straight outside to do some more work and came inside and cleaned. Made a special dinner. I made Chocolate Spiced Pork Chops. I'll be posting the recipe tomorrow with a picture. Good night all.

The last two days

I absolutely LOVE Fridays. Even though I stay at home with my kids, the best thing is that my fiance comes home from work and gets to spend the weekend with the girls and I. He comes home around 6:00 and we cook supper. Another thing we love about Fridays is that we have two favorite tv shows that come on Travel Channel. Ghost Adventures and The Dead Files. We have been doing yard work all week, and yesterday was our day off since Cayce had to go into work yesterday morning. This morning, we did more yard work and went to the library and got the girls some more books to read. They loved playing outside in the dirt and sliding on their slide. We have alot more yard work to do tomorrow, so I'm going to bed.

My Babies

I have three beautiful daughters. ages 3, 1, and 5 months. They are a blessing to my fiance and I, and they are also my rock. They keep me grounded and focused on what I want to do in my life to be able to make their lives better.
My oldest daughter's name is Samantha. She was born April 20, 2009.

I was a senior in high school when she was born. I graduated for her and she was my main reason to finish. She is a daddy's girl all the way. She has her daddy's look, but my brains and attitude. She is a true handful, but a little helper around the house and the best big sister.
My second daughter's name is Ariana. She was born October 10, 2010.

We call her my lil mini me. She has the same attitude and personality that I had while I was a child. She was born 5 days late and my mom picks on her birthday 10-10-10 as being fertilizer. She loves being wherever I am, and loves to be in the kitchen, cooking with me.
My third and final daughter's name is Adalyn. She was born February 6, 2012.

She is our miracle baby. She was due on March 8th, 2012. She was born 5 weeks early and spent 11 days in the NICU. I had high liver enzymes and her heart rate kept dropping so I was induced and she came at 11:43pm. She had respiratory issues after delivery and a couple of hours later, her lungs collapsed and had to have a chest tube and be put on CPAP. She is the absolute best baby and growing so fast. It seems like she was never in the NICU. Every morning, she greets me with a big grin.

Beginning

Welcome to my blog. I've decided to try blogging again. My name is Kelly and I'm 21. I live in South Carolina and I'm a stay at home mom to 3 beautiful girls. I'm also engaged to my high school sweetheart. I used to write all the time and wanted to go to college to be a sports journalist. I love cooking, couponing, organizing, planning, entertaining, and spending time with my fiance and daughters. I live life day by day and take nothing for granted. I'm blogging to preserve memories of my children growing up and just to write about anything life brings me and my family.
