Monday morning.

Good Monday morning my kids went back to school today. Boys were up at 7:00am, and my daughter was so excited she woke up at 5:00am to take a shower. Two in middle school, and one in high school. Hard to imagine how fast the years have gone by. I feel so very blessed to have shared the whole summer with them.

Now its all about me making as much money as possible from home while there at school. I will be working all day while there at school from the comfort of my home. I am close to the schools so I take them to school, and pick them up it works out great. I took them to school this morning, and then came right home to workout first thing, and got that out of the way for the day. I always feel so much better after a great workout. Now I am going to wash all the sheets in the house, clean, and work my business.

Thursday

ITs here again, one of my favorite days of the week my last work day. Tomorrow its all about the FAIR. We are taking the kids to ride the rides all day long. We are staying the whole day, and late into the evening, To watch a Concert... FUN FUN FUN.
how great to see the kids have so much fun, I love the rides too. always have.

I remember the first time I saw a roller coaster I begged my dad to take me on one, I was still little, and I can still remember the look of horror on my dads face when we stayed in line he hated rides. We finally got to the front of the line, and I was to short, I cryed, and he laughed with relief. When I finally was tall enough it was the greatest feeling ever, and I'm still lovin the thrill of the rides, so Yes I will ride the rides with them, and love every minute of it, It brings me back to my childhood laughing, and having Fun. I guess I'm still a kid at heart.

On Saturday night we are going to another BBQ pool party, at our new friends house, so what a great weekend we have to look forward too. I will take lots of pictures as long as I don't loose my camera on the rides. Have a great weekend everyone, and do something fabulous for yourself , Ursula

wednesday morning

Good Wednesday morning. We had a great day yesterday. Today so far, so good. We have nothing on the calendar... imagine that. My daughter stayed the night with a friend, and boys are sleeping in, there tired from the late pool party last night, and once again I have a grateful heart, because I got to spend the whole summer with my kids. I feel so very grateful to be a stay at home mom enjoying them everyday. I see such great changes in each one of them. Now it seems, there all going through puberty, but that is just part of growing up. Some days are smooth, and other days I want to strangle them. I would not change anything. I am excited to be the one they come to for everything. They just keep growing.

When I wake up early before the kids wake up, I have trained myself to write in a Gratitude journal, and focus on all the positive, and not the negative. When you start your day doing great positive things for yourself, it sets the tone for the day. Keep your vibrations High, and then when the kids wake up everything just flows at a higher level, I have found. Things that use to stress me out no longer do. I set higher Boundary's for myself, and I do not let peoples Drama interfere with my happiness. Life is so short, so why not live it to the fullest. I also have learned the powerful word "NO" when someone asks me to do something that is going to interfere with what I already got going on, my family comes first. I choose not to be... a people pleaser, and to do things that I don't have time for, just to make someone else happy. This is the way I live my life. God is first, then my husband, kids, family, friends. There are only so many hours in the day so I encourage you to surround yourself with the people that are most important, you cant save the world , but you can pray for everyone. Keep your family first. If you don't have your family in good balance, then don't be worrying about volunteering for everything if its going to take time away from your family. Why should your family get second best, they deserve your best. Trust me on this I have lived both ways, and this way works.

Today is a day to be blessed, and happy in your own skin, and to be the best that you can be today and forever. there is no mountain that you cannot climb, whatever struggles come your way you can handle. God does not give you more than you can handle, even though it may seem like it sometimes. Live one day at a time. That is all we can handle Today. Have a great positive, Abundant day, and live each day with a grateful heart, God bless you, Ursula

Tuesday morning

Tuesday morning already. Today we have doctor appointments. and a big end of the summer BBQ, pool party to go to tonight with there youth group. Busy always it seems with three kids there is always something going on.

The kids are trying to fit in as much as possible with there friends, because School starts August 31. No more late night sleepovers during the week. Time for lots of homework, and
discipline.

It has been a great Summer full of lots of great memories. now its time to get in the grove of school, new teachers, new schools, and new friends. I am saying my prayers. Two kids in middle school, and one in High School. "God give me the strength".

I will have lots of quiet time to dedicate to my home Business, which will be great. I plan to learn as much as possible about Health and Wellness, and share it with as many people as possible. Enhancing life's through a better quality life http://momswantmore.com/ursula

Monday morning.

Good Monday morning. I had a great family weekend. My daughter has a new friend, and I decided to invite her parents over for a BBQ on Friday night since they live in our neighborhood, and its always great to meet new friends. We had a great time. They are having us over to there house this Saturday...Looking forward to it.

This is the last week of Summer, so we are ending it with going to the Fair on Friday, My kids love the rides. My daughter, and boys have been trying to fit in as many sleepovers as they can before school, so it has been very busy around here.

The Summer went so fast, I cant believe its almost over it makes me sad. I love Summers with my kids. They are growing so fast, and I keep thinking there going to be in college before I know it, where has the time went, it feels like it just flys by, so I feel like I need to cherish every moment, the good ,and the bad, because with a blink of an eye they will be grown.

Being a Mother is so rewarding. When you look at them developing, and growing up right before your eyes it is truly amazing to me, and then all of a sudden they become taller than you, and I look over at my son when we are shopping, and it still amazes me that I have to look up to talk to him. What a great gift it is to be a mom. I truly love everything about it, and one day when there gone. I will miss all the chaos. I intend to in joy it as long as I can. Have a great Monday, Ursula

Thursday

Good Thursday to you all. Today I woke up early wanting to stay in bed feeling drained this week with all the kids having kids over, and back and forth from house to house, They have something orchestrated all the time it seems. You know its the end of the summer when your feeling drained from all the kid activity going on all day, and all night. Your own kids and all there friends equals... Chaos, and all your food disappearing. Yesterday they were bottomless pits. Devan had two friends over, and my daughter had two as well. I made three pictures of kool-Aid and watched it all disappear. kool-Aid is a cheap survival beverage for kids, and lots of water. The Joys of having teens. Of course all the friends always want to be here. anyway... I will survive. One more week. I can do it.


This weekend we are taking are kids away for one more camping trip before Summer is over. A weekend to pretend we are all homeless, fishing for food, and swimming to get clean. Oh yes a weekend of No TV, Computer, and hopefully No cell phone service. Stay up all night talking by the campfire, and getting a break from all the modern technology. I wish you all great survival strategy's as the end of the Summer approaches. Talk to you all again on Monday. Have a great weekend, Ursula

wednesday morning

Good Morning. Yesterday was all about a little landscaping project I started, making a walkway, out of stones, and red lava rock for the outdoor office it turned out great. Little by little I'm getting projects done. There is always things we can do to our home to make it better. When you get them finished it feels like a great accomplishment. Today its time to register my two middle scholars and get them all ready for school the end of next week the summer just flew by. we didn't get in all the family trips that we thought we would do, but the kids seem to be fine with what we did do, and they are excited to go to the fair next week, and believe it or not they are actually excited for school to start to see there friends, except for my fourteen year old son, that is a different story since he is a night owl, and never likes to go to bed at night. He likes to sleep in until noon. So he will be cranky for awhile until he gets use to the schedule. High school starts earlier here than middle school I think he has to be there at 6:30 am and middle scholars 7:30am ... so this will be interesting. Back to being a early morning driver to get my kids to school. It is going to seem so quiet around here with out them all day, and Wow... We might actually have are food last longer with them eating school lunch there at school, but they make up for it when they come home because of all the socializing at school ,they don't eat as much , and then there starving as soon as they walk in the door. We have the clothes shopping done for now, and today we get the list of what else they are going to need as far as school supplies. I wish everyone a great day today, Ursula

Tuesday morning

Good Morning, What a beautiful morning it is... birds are singing sprinklers are on, and the kids are sleeping. You cant get any more peace than that. I really want to talk about moms today and how busy we truly are. Everyday I meet new moms from the pool, or new friends moms that my kids are hanging out with, and they seem to be so frazzled, and running around like a chicken with there head cut off. Trying to be the best mom they can possibly be by taking there kids to all the sports activities, and trips they think they need to do to make there kids happy, spending lots of money, and just wearing themselves out. I took my daughters friend home last night around eight pm, because she was hanging out with my daughter for the day, We were doing some yard work picking up apples, and I wanted to go to home depot to get some stepping stones to make a walkway leading to the outdoor office, and some red rocks to frame the new walkway, and anyway, I got to my daughters friends moms house to drop her off, and the mom came out and started visiting with me, for over an hour till it was dark. This was only the second time we had talked, she talked about how worried she was about are girls going to middle school and how she wanted to put her in another district... and on and on. I had to stop her, and let her know that everything was going to be fine, and the more she focused on herself instead of worrying about things she cant control , and remember that she raised her daughter to make healthy choices, and now she just needs to calm down, and give her a little space, and everything Will be fine. I explained to her how I use to do that, I focused so much on everyone else trying to be the best wife, and mom that I forgot about myself. Most moms I talk to forget to put them self at the top of the list, and then they wonder why there over weight, why there tired, frustrated, and cranky, and they are huge people please rs.... she said she does so much for her church, girl scoots, and friends that there is nothing left for her, her husband , and her children. I want everyone to here this today the most important thing you can do for yourself is to take great care of yourself, and once you develop, a great healthy eating, and workout plan for yourself you will not only feel better, you will have more energy, and you will be the best you can be for yourself, and your family. put your family first, the most Powerful word I want you to learn is NO. The phone will always ring trying to get you sucked into all the wonderful volunteer positions that are available, If it means that it is going to take from you, and your family, and that you will have nothing else to give your family.... Say NO. Once you do that for yourself something magical happens, you begin to nourish your soul, and spirit, and positive great things start to happen. I put myself on the list first thing in the morning. Writing about everything I am so very grateful for in my journal, working at, a at home position that I love, making great food choices for myself , and my family, working out in my wonderful home gym daily, that my kids see me doing daily when they wake up, and then its all about them, and I don't get to many friend activities going unless I have the time.I have learned that being "selfish is self care". I stay as stress free as possible , and the things that are out of my control, I pray about, and then let it go, and trust that my kids will make healthy choices for themselves. Take a deep breath, and make some changes for yourself today, Put yourself at the top of your to do list and see how wonderful you will feel. Have a great day.

Monday morning.

Good morning, It is Monday once again, and I am up early getting my work done in the office before the kids wake up. We had a weekend full of sleep overs all my kids friends want to sleep over on the weekends, because it makes them feel like there camping out with the fire pit, and outdoor office, that they use for sleep overs, my husband installed cable out there, and put a Tv out there, so they are in heavan they can stay up all night, and the best part we dont have to listen to them. Friday night it was my son Devan, and his friend, and Saturday night it was my daughter, and her two girlfriends. My oldest has the whole basement to himself, so he likes to just hang out down there, with his friends... Action going on all the time with three teenagers, we are getting it over with all at once. The amount of food that they can consume, still amazes me, they are like bottomless pits. Last night it was, just myself and my family , which was nice we had a barbeque, and ate out on the patio, and started a camp fire, and roasted marshmallows, and made smores for dessert. Of course we all came in and took showers, before going to bed, because we do not like smelling like smoke, and went to bed around 9:30 we were tired. We are still waiting for our new pool liner, we may cement it, instead, and install pool lights.

Thursday

Wow ! Can you believe how fast this week went, I am truly amazed at how fast the weeks go by. Two weeks, and the kids will be going back to school. One High scholar, and two middle scholars. My baby's are growing up so fast. I want to encourage all the parents to hug, and love on your kids as long as they let you, because one day it wont be cool for them to let you do that. my kids still tell me they love me, and let me be seen with them, and my daughter, and boys still say " I love you mom "when I drop them off at school. I will take it as long as I can. I have heard story's of kids not wanting there parents to be seen with them, and that is sad. I still do everything with my teenagers... Of course I act like one most of the time, so maybe that helps. I listen to the same music as them, I get along with all there friends, and we plan fun things to do with them, and there friends love to come over, this always seems to be the place to be, which is great. At least we can keep track of them that way. I feel so blessed, and fortunate to have been able to be a stay at home mom, and be a part of there life every single day. I speak to so many frustrated moms that would love to work from home, and make there own schedule, they feel tired, frustrated all the time, alot of them it is affecting there Health, because they feel like they don't have time to workout, or eat right, and then when they finally come home they just bring take out home, because there to tired to cook. There are so many stay at home jobs online, for whatever your passion is. Every mom if they wanted to,or dad, could stay home with there kids, and make a great living... You just have to do some research and educated yourself. My passion is Health and Wellness. I get excited even thinking about helping people get fit, healthy, and removing toxic cleaning chemicals from there home, and sharing what works for me. When you do something you love like being a mom, and working a job you love, Life just seems easier, and happier. You have to remember your kids need you even more during the teenage years. you want to be the one that is there for them guiding them in the right direction, If not you someone else will, and that could be devastating if Its someone in a gang or drug activity. Make a choice today to be a great active roll model for your kids, and get in the best shape of your life, so that you can keep up with them. When you take great care of yourself, they see that... and it becomes a ripple affect for the whole family. Have a great weekend I will talk to you again on Monday, I'm out... for my three day weekend. http://momswantmore.com/ursula

wednesday morning

I was reading differnt Blogs yesterday, and found one that I loved, She wrote there is always going to be someone that has a bigger House than you... A bigger nicer car than you... Prettier than you... and on and on. The most important thing that we can do is instead of focusing on what we don't have, and trying to get what we think we need through materialism, is focus on what we do have, and learn to love ourselves just as we are, except ,and love ourselves. If you really think about it how boring would this world be if we all looked alike, drove the same cars , and lived in the same kind of house. I love the fact that we all look different, and everybody drives different vehicles, and some people have big houses, and some prefer smaller ones.. How great to have that choice. The more you focus on loving yourself just as you are, the more you will see positive in every situation, and celebrate the differences... that we all have. We have a choice daily to be grateful for who we are, and what we have, or you can sit around and waste your time thinking about what someone else has, and wishing you looked like them. Which one do you choose. I encourage you to choose the first choice, and stop wasting time focusing on what you don't have, and be the best you can possibly be today. You are perfect just as you are, and what you have in your life be very grateful for. Make today, this day the greatest day you can possibly make it.

Tuesday morning

I'm up bright and early finally feeling rested, and once I start working out this morning I will feel much better. There is something about taking great care of yourself, that your body misses when you stop. I took the whole weekend off, and even yesterday, so its time today to make it happen. The more you learn what works for you the more you want to continue doing it, because the results are worth it. I have been studying the health and wellness industry for awhile now, and there is a direct correlation with nutrition and exercise. We can actually turn back the clock, and stop the aging process by taking great vitamins, exercising, Bioidentical hormones, Getting a great nights sleep eight hours at least, living a happy positive life, having a full healthy balanced sex life... which by the way can be a great workout. Stop stress in your life, alot of stress creates health problems, make healthy food choices, and when you do blow it do better the next day, and don't beat yourself up about it. Surround yourself with positive like minded people, and be responsible, but have as much fun as possible doing it. Stop taking life so serious. Start today, you and I making it the best day possible, and whatever is standing in your way of having the best, healthiest, happiest life, you can possible have... remove it from your life today, or change it .Sometimes its just our own thoughts that stand in our way, and our own disbelief , that things can be different, that can actually paralyse us into doing nothing and staying stuck. Get some great books on nutrition, and start today. Today is the first day of the rest of your life... Make it happen you deserve it. Http://momswantmore.com/ursula

Monday morning.

Good morning. I had a great, and busy weekend. We had friends stay with us. They came Friday at about 1:00pm and left Sunday at 1:00pm. When they arrived we had them put all there stuff down in the basement, and gave them the whole basement, two adults, and two toddlers. We visited and got reacquainted. I made lunch then the guys took the kids to chucke cheese because there is no chucke cheese in Lewiston Idaho. His wife, and I decided to stay home and get all the prep work done for dinner, and of course make some margaritas, and have are girl talk... which is very important. we made fryed food that night, finger steaks, and egg roll wraps... which are two of my kids favorite foods. we got done with all the prep work, and the wraps and finger steaks were ready to be fryed, and the guys and kids got home, and were ready to eat we started frying, and we made a feast. Dinner was over, and all the clean up part was done, and the kids went out, and played on the trampoline, and my boys were getting the fire ready to roast marshmallows. We adults were visiting on the patio, when all of a sudden we heard this bang, and a loud cry. we look over to the trampoline, which has a net on it. Jena there daughter manages to fall through the opening of the trampoline to the grass. She was OK, it just scared her and us. needless to say she did not want to get back on the trampoline again, and there son did not want to either. we got there mind off of that by the fire pit, and we roasted marshmallows, and made smores. Fun time for kids. My daughter tried teaching them how to hula hoop, but there kids are only two and four... so not so much. They put the younger kids to bed it was really late at this point and my oldest son decided that he was going to watch TV, and sleep in the outside office so that he could still stay up late, and watch his shows, and sleep in. My two other kids finally got tired, and went to bed us girls visited as long as we could, and about 1:00am we had finally had enough. The guys were just to wasted for us to relate. The guys came to bed shortly after. The next morning I woke up at 7:00am Devan my son was awake on the computer playing a game, and there son walked up from the basement, and started playing spore with my son. I turned on the coffee and jumped in the shower, because my hair smelled like smoke from the fire. Got ready for the day, and made a big breakfast for everyone. The plan for the day was to take the kids to the river, and go rafting since they had never been rafting before. we went to the store, and got some stuff we needed , came home, and packed the cooler and headed to the river. Everybody had a great time we were all very tired by the time we packed up and left. We get home, and everyone took showers, and baths. my daughter gave there daughter a bath, and while she was doing that we layed down for a little while, and my daughter, came into my room where Corryn, and I were laying down, because there was no other quiet place, and my husband went to the store to buy more margarita mix for us. Jena there daughter layed down with us after her bath, and my daughter messaged all of our feet, with peppermint lotion. Jena feel asleep she was so relaxed,We put her on the couch, and the dogs slept with her, and we took some cute pictures, then it was back to reality of making dinner. We made dinner, and went out on the patio drank margaritas, laughed, and had a great late night. We went to bed about 2:30 am. Then next day was all about us being tired, and company getting ready to go home, it takes allot to get packed and ready to go. They left at 1:00pm, and I took a nap, which I normally do not do, but I was still feeling dizzy from drinking margaritas all night. My family, and I watched a movie from netflix ate dinner, and went to bed early. have a great day today everyone. Oh, and my dogs had lots of fun they finally got stuck together on Sunday so we will be having baby's soon.

Thursday

Good Morning to you all. I have been having a great time writing these Blogs. I hope you all have been enjoying reading them. Today is get ready for company day. We have friends coming from Lewiston Idaho. They are coming Friday for a three day weekend with us. Lots of food, fun, campfires, laughing, and staying up all night. When we get together with them we have so much fun we stay up all night. It is so great to have friends come visit. They have Two kids, a chihuahua, and we have three Teenagers, and have two chihuahuas, a boy and a girl, and are girl is in heat, so it is going to be allot of dog action going on. luckily there kids are young enough they may not figure out whats going on unless they catch them stuck together. We started breeding two years ago and the first time, Devan my middle son went out to the backyard and ran in the house and said" Mom somethings wrong with the dogs there stuck together" I had never experienced that either, so I was thinking great... look what I got myself into. The dogs are both staring at us looking all like now what, so I decided to pick them both up since the sprinklers were about to go on, and bring them in the house on a towel, and time it. They stay stuck for thirty minutes... Yuck. So as you can see that's what is going to be happening at are party this weekend... Dogs just wan ta have fun too. I'm sure I will have lots of story's to share with you on Monday. Have an amazing weekend and do something wonderful for yourself today, Ursula

wednesday morning

Good morning. Im enjoying my quiet time once again. When you have three teenagers running around planning, your every move, its nice to have your alone time anytime you can get it, and mine seems to always be in the mornings, after my husband leaves for work. He leaves at 5:00am, so that works out perfect. What I have learned early on about keeping myself balanced, and happy is... I must first take great care of myself, in order to be the best wife, and Mother I can possibly Be. I have spoke to many mothers over the years that simply say to me " I dont have time to excercise, I dont have time to plan healthy meals, and on, and on. " What I say to them is" if you forget to put your name at the top of your to do list, you are ripping yourself off and devaluing yourself, and not allowing your full self to shine through." What I know is, it is so easy to get so busy that before you know it... You have let yourself GO. by doing everything to make your family happy... you think, and nothing you need to do to keep yourself fit , whole , and happy. One day your going to look in the mirror and say to yourself " what has happened to me" I think some Wifes and Mothers think they are taking care of themselfs by doing everything for there family, and they feel like they will have time for them, when the kids are gone. I say NO ...now is the time.... Do you want to look, and feel better, Do you want to get the rest you deserve to get, Do you want to be the wife, and Mother that wears the clothes that show your shape, or Do you want to be the one that finds the biggest shirt you can find in your closet to hide the fact that your gaining weight, because you dont want to take time for yourself. When I say this to you I know how it feels to live that way, believe me... I have been that wife and Mother hiding under clothes. Guess what I put myself first On my to do list, and I No longer have to hide underneath my clothes, or anything else. I am more confident, and my husband, and kids are grateful I did that for myself. It is a fight at first, when you decide to do great things for yourself. I promise you If you do this for yourself, you will be the best that you can Be. Start by taking great vitamins, healthy fruits, vegies, whole grains, and do some sort of excercise everyday. Oh and before your husband comes home even if it has been a busy day, take off your casual clothes,find something nice, fix your hair, and makeup, and look great, so that he is excited to come home. Men are very visual, and be positive. Make Today your Day. Moms and dads you deserve that for yourself, and your family. http://momswantmore.com/ursula and also check out my new support group join today http://momswantmore.ning.com/ Its time now to go excersise. Have a great day.

Tuesday morning

Good morning, Im up bright and early enjoying my alone time. House is clean remodeling almost done, and the scent of coffee fills the air ...How great is that. We have had record Heat now for about three weeks, so anytime I can open the windows, and doors to get some fresh air, I am grateful, which is early in the morning. I seem to get so much done early in the morning. I guess having the quiet time, and fresh air blow through inspires me. When you find what works for you do it. takecare of yourself, and when you nourish your soul everything just seems to flow better. When I started working at home two years ago I was not sure how to do that, because I was so use to being on a tight schedule. Getting the kids up. and ready for school, getting myself ready for work, and being so stressed about time. I would yell at the kids, and just feel rushed all the time. Go to work and stay there all day, and then rush home to get the kids, stress about what I was going to make for dinner, and on and on. It just seems like I gave all I had at work that I felt like I did not have much left for the kids. I lived that way with the family for about five years stressed, and rushing around with a bad attitude, then I finally had had enough, and decided It was time to make a change. and that If I didnt do it for myself nobody would, and in order to have that happy life I had dreamed about, I would have to make some changes. I had always dreamed about how great it would be to work from home, and create the hours that work best for me, and my family. I researched alot of Home Businesses and found my perfect match, which is a fantastic wellness Company. At first it was a hard adjustment, because I was so used to being stressed, mad, and Rushed that it took awhile to calm down and focus on my goal. I made a great home office, and in the office was lots of positive words to keep me centered and focused. Now two years later I am calmer, healthier, and peaceful, and you know what they say" If moms not happy nobody is". Well guess what there is peace in my home now. I write in my gratitude journal, I am so very thankful for everything I have. I am so much more awhere of my home life, whats going on with my kids, my husband , and myself. It has been the best change that I could possibly have ever made. I workout everyday, and make healthy food choices for myself, and my family. I feel like I am getting younger, and not older. I have great Eco friendly products that I use everyday, and have lots of energy from my wonderful vitamins that I take twice a day Am, and Pm ones, and a positive attitude, which the family is thankful for. I encourage everybody that reads this to reach for whatever it is in your own life that is going to make you a happier, healthier person Live life to the Fullest, create your healthy , happy life today... If not now than when, Ursula http://momswantmore.com/ursula

Monday morning.

• Good Morning, I had a very big weekend. I know many of you know that my husaband, and I have been remodeling are House to make it a custom home for us. There were two walls that needed to be knocked down, that was my part, and then rebuilding was my husbands part. Two walls leading into the kitchen, We opened it up so that we have bigger entrances. We have new entrances with of course custom archs... He did a great job. We also sanded are wood floors, and dining room table, and resealed them. The only thing that is left for the new entrances is to be textered, and painted. It makes you feel good when you make your house a home. Today is all about sweeping and mopping to get all the dust and dirt cleaned up. I can tell you , I am so very grateful that I get to work from Home today, my body is soar working all weekend. It seems like when you buy a home there is always projects to do, Unless of course you build your own custom home. My husband, and I have been remodeling homes, it seems like forever. We have always bought older homes and remodeled them . Its great to take an older home, and visualize what it will look like remodeled, and it is usually better than youve imagined it to be. You all have a Great day today, Ursula
