Motivation: Where are you?

I am now 32 weeks prego, and let me tell you I am so UN-motivated!! Why? Isn't this usually when nesting kicks in, and you want to rearrange your whole house, do 10 loads of laundry, and organize everything? That sounds super awesome...I just wish someone else would do it for me! :)

Advice please! What helps you motivate yourself? I have the desire, but no will power. Getting ready is such a chore, and cleaning my kitchen makes me want to nap just thinking about it.

Hopefully my next update will be a chipper new (motivated) me!!!!!!

Gingerbread in January

When we went to visit Rocky's parents over Christmas break, we didn't have a chance to make a gingerbread house. So, they sent us home with a kit. Today, the kids and I were very bored. So, what did we do? Made a gingerbread house! Not such a beauty, but they were excited about the project, and Chase was especially meticulous about where she wanted each candy to go. She would point to where she wanted me to place the frosting. Ryder was especially excited about the candy. He was busy sneaking candy, while Chase masterfully decorated this little jewel. :)
