Hello! How was your Valentines Day? I hope it was filled with lots of love and chocolate, of course! Anthony took me to Whole Foods to buy a treat! I bought some vegan chocolate cupcakes and a vanilla (almond milk) steamer, Yummmmm!
Anyways, I read a ton of other blogs and I love it when they do survey’s. You’re able to get to know your virtual friends and followers in a more personal way. So today I’m going to do a survey about things around my house!
Household chore I actually enjoy
This is a tough one. There is not a particular household chore I enjoy 100% of the time. Sometimes I enjoy the effects of the chore after their done (For example, a clean house)! :). I love the feeling of a clean house. Usually this lasts about an hour, especially since Noah’s been around, but I do enjoy cooking 75% of the time. I find it relaxing to prepare a healthy meal for myself, and my family. However, Friday and Saturday nights I do not enjoy them. I’d rather enjoy eating takeout or going to our favorite restaurant.
Biggest house disaster
I am an organized control-freak. I love to have everything in a specific space. That being said, when we moved into our house we put all of our extra things into our office closet. So, over the next year and half things kept piling up in there. We could hard slide the door shut and it DROVE ME CRAZY! I couldn’t even look at it. It gave me nightmares, haha! About two weeks ago I decided I had enough. I pulled everything out of the closet and sorted through it. This took a few days to get through! Then I went to Walmart and bought bins upon bins to organize our items. Last weekend, I finally finished! It looks amazing! I feel so much better that it’s clean and that we were able to donate the items that we hadn’t used in a long, long time. That was really the last area that was not organized in our house. Again, organized control-freak here! Not that it’s organized I’m no longer having closet over-flow nightmares. 🙂
Before company arrives, I hide…
Noah and Malakhai toys! We have toys upon toys around here! Malakhai has so many toys that I decided to go through and donate the toys he no longer plays with. He tends to stick with the same few toys and carries them around with him. It was pretty easy to decide which toys to donate. We were doing really well with baby toys until Christmas. Noah is so lucky to have so many people care about him. However, this also means that he got so many toys and gifts for Christmas that we have them in every room in the house. So when company comes over I try to put the toys either in our room or shove them against walls or under chairs- HA!
Most recent music download
The last music I downloaded to my computer was music for Noah. I typically get music from the library and put it onto my computer. I got a bunch of CD’s for Noah to listen to. I love getting music from the library because it’s free!!
The last thing I bought online
The last thing bought online was a telescope for Anthony for Valentines day! Typically, we don’t spend much money on Valentines Day but this year he has been working so hard that I wanted to get him something really special. He’s been talking about getting a telescope for years but it’s one of those things that it’s hard to spend the money on. He loved it! I bought him this one.
I hate to shop for
I hate to shop for groceries. I love eating healthy and nutritious meals, however, I hate seeing all that money week after week go to groceries. I do think it is worth it to spend the money on organic foods, though!
Favorite Family Ritual
My favorite family ritual would be Noah’s nighttime routine. I love reading books to him each night and seeing him get excited about reading. I especially love seeing Anthony read to Noah, I can’t tell you what it does to my heart when I see those two reading!
I have a style crush on
Dutchess Kate. I mean she is just so perfectly put together. She’s never overdone but has each outfit just cute and classy. Also, I love her hair! I’m sure she has people blow-out her hair and curl it perfectly for her but I still would love to have my hair look half as nice as hers does.
How did I ever live without
I don’t know how I ever lived without Anthony, Noah, and Malakhai. I am so thankful for each of them! Lately, I’ve been thinking how comfortable with who I am. Growing up it’s always hard to find yourself and to be comfortable with who you truly are. But I love the person I’ve become and there is no doubt in my mind that my three guys have helped to shape the person I have become!
Love,
Savanna
