Tired of Living in It

Welcome back!

I’m tired of living in it.  What you ask…a house that more closely resembles a garbage can than a house.  I say that with sarcasm only slightly.  I am a work at home mom.  My kids are with me 24 hours a day, at least the babies are, and they are 2.5 and almost 1.5 so therefore they have little to no cleaning abilities. 

I focus a large percentage of my day on my business(es) that I run from home.  The other large portion is spent filling sippy cups, changing diapers and breaking up arguments between said two children.  It is “active” and “fulfilling” however the house, well it gets little to none of the “percentage” of my day and has therefore felt slightly neglected.

It doesn’t help that our income has never been large enough to really care for the house properly.  We’ve not done much to the plain shell of a house that the contractors built almost 6 years ago.  Sometimes, I look around and I wonder will it ever look more like a home?  Maybe . . . I am being slightly over dramatic but really I just want it to be a little more cozy, a lot more clean and a tad bit more beautiful. . . can that become a reality?  Would it require me to work less and clean more?

Just wondering. . what should be my plan to take back my house in 2010?

Not Everybody

All the buzz around the blogosphere right now is over BlogHer, a massive bloggers conference in Chicago. I am not attending blog her and amazingly enough though 1500 bloggers are going to be in attendance there are plenty others of us who aren’t. In fact, I will be on vacation during BlogHer, which I am super excited about. I might even get to see one of my favorite bloggers, Robin, as I am visiting her hometown and she’s well, going to be there, as she isn’t attending BlogHer either.

She’s also going to be helping us bloggers who will still be home, blogging about normal, everyday life, or in my case, family vacation to have our own little party. Blog Hop 09′ and it is going to be a blast. I’m super excited about it, because it has some great prizes, including a $150 scholarship to Type A Mom Conference in September, which I’m already planning to attend, but boy would I love some help getting there.

So, you going to BlogHer? Or are you going Blog Hopping with me and Robin and some other gals? Let me know in the comments below.

For the Love of a WAHM

Take my word for it, being a WAHM (Work atHome Mom) rocks for more reasons than I’m sure I can think of at the moment, but I have quite a few on my mind.  Here are a few of those:

1)  The awesome supportive WAHM community.

2)  I can stay home with my kids.

3)  I can take off when I need to, such as lately when my children have been ill and in the hospital.

4)  I am earning a good living from home.

5)  It is fun, you never know what you’ll end up doing.

If those weren’t enough reasons there are more.  Lately, I’ve been really branching out and doing more and more things online that make being a WAHM interesting and fun.  I have done reviews such as my latest one for Kobold toys.

Then, there is the opportunity to do vlogs (video blogs).  I’m publishing my first today at NewBaby.com I’ll update this post with the url when it is up or maybe even post the vlog here too. *** UPDATE:  Here is the link to the vlog. 

Oh, and more good news.  I have been nominated to be in the WAHM 2.0’s top 10 WAHM blogs can you go over and vote for me here?  Just post a comment that you are voting for Life From my Laptop.com  I’d greatly appreciate it.
