Beware the Groooove...

Isn't it crazy how little changes can totally throw off your household groove?

We were doing so well, actually getting things done around the house and having potty-training success. The living room had been vacuumed 3 times in one week (this is half as often as it needs it), and I had found the bottom of the laundry basket!

And then, I decided life was progressing so smoothly that I could add something new. So I started a new blog. I kind of wanted to see if I could make some money at it, and I didn't want to plaster this one up with ads. It's been fun! Too fun. Too "I'll do this instead of the laundry" fun.

So I am getting serious about my time-management and being disciplined around the house. No blogging until morning chores are done. The children will benefit from the less-chaotic house, and Levi will benefit from the caught-up laundry (all though he is really sweet about it..."Hey, hon, where would I look if I wanted some clean underwear?").

Most importantly, we will benefit from my being intentional about putting first things first. "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Whoo boy, have I needed to hear that lately.

Anyway, with a little discipline, the emperor will be getting his groove back. I hope.

If you're interested, the new blog is mindofthemother.blogspot.com and I am really bad at putting ads in places that are not unattractive.

Also, this post has made me want to watch The Emperors New Groove.

Hi, Stacia, thanks for checking out the new blog. So far it's fun but not exactly lucrative. :)
Best kids movie ever!
