Annnnd we're back.

Obviously, its been a while. I won't go into the whole Tirade Of Why. Its just life! You understand. I am happy to announce that some things have changed around here and I am super motivated to blog!!

Things you will see on Momthentic in the future:

• More oversharing of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. I love my kids more than life itself but wow, they are a LOT of work sometimes. Its a good thing they're so cute & funny. My mom always said "God made babies so cute because if they're weren't, you'd throw them right in the garbage." I am a firm believer that humor & sarcasm go a LONG way towards keeping one's sanity. Sane mama = happy mama.
• Decor and home projects, mostly involving #projectbbg (Brown Be Gone). We bought & updated this house in 2005. I was working full time and 7 months pregnant with our first child. I was tired and nesting and just wanted the Pottery Barn catalog to tell me what to do. But Pottery Barn is not our style anymore. Our home needs to better reflect our personalities; even my hubby agrees! I have a looooot of work ahead of me. Some brown things, like expensive bathroom vanities & tile & laminate flooring, will have to stay, due to the budget (which is zero since my hubby hasn't had a paycheck in five months, woohoo!).
• Family tested recipes. My kids aren't super picky, but they're regular picky. If they like something then its pretty safe to say most kids will like it too.
• A smidge of homeschooling. We just started with our youngest (big brother starts next year) so as a newbie I will be trying things on for size and figuring out what works and what doesn't.

My dad passed away 19 months ago. I inherited his iPad. He had a few sites bookmarked and one of them was this blog. My sweet dad ......  I always made him laugh, and he liked to chat with me about the few random posts I'd put up before he died. If anything, I've got to keep on blogging in his memory.
