Buy By Mom Blog: Suzi Homemaker's Market Tote (Review & Giveaway)
O.K so I saw this give away a few months back and I thought I have to have this. I have gone through so many of the cheap/thin recycle bags they gave out at the local grocery store and although I love using them they just dont hold up. But this here looks so durable and not to mention its super cute. So I'am once again trying to win this through Buy by mom....Wish me luck ;)

Typos............
Please forgive the typos and miss spelled words in the previous post. I was trying to type with Jonathan on my lap who currently has a fever of 102' and will not let me put him down :(
We made it to Georgia!!!!!!!!!!
Well its been 2 months since my last post, and gosh so much has gone on. We sold our house in Massachusettes in just 4 DAYS!!! with 3 people placing offers. I'am so glad that its done , its over with and now wer are here in our new home in Southern Georgia.
Thus far its everything I dreamed it would be. I have to say other than leaving my family behind I dont miss Mass at all not one bit. I truley feel this is where we were meant to be. I'am so Happy that we are all re-united again as a family as those 3 months of mananging all 7 children, a granbaby, a house, schools,activities, trying to pack and get a house ready ect ect was really more than one person can do.
The last 2 years as a family have had its share of Challenges, from our oldest daughters pregnancy , the birth our our Precious grandaughter, my husbands health, depression on my part, we have just had our share of trials thats for sure. But its also brought some Amazing and wonderful changes. My faith is stronger than it has ever been, I'am so happy about this.
Alan and I both agree this is a new start for us and we are so excited about it.
Our home is perfect for our Children......It has a beautiful Southern Georgia "flair" to it with my rockers on the front porch.....which we spend every night there watching the kids ride their bikes. We have a STUNNING view of the lake.....which is somthing we both always wanted was to have a home on a lake.....lots of property for the kids to roam, and a super quiet street. The kids will be going to the County Schools which are some of the best schools around. The cost of living down here is SOOOOOO much cheaper than back in Mass it truley amazing!!!
The best part is we are very happy, I have not felt this content in my life in a long time . My kids have found friends already, I have met a few nice people myself. I'am no longer under the "magnifine" glass of always being told or criticized for my life choices my my family ( yes at 35 they still believe they need to tell me what I do wrong.......our decision to have as many children as we have been blessed with is "NOT" their style")
So once again I'am hoping to make this blogging thing a daily routine, now that I actually do have some time on my hands . Even if I'am the only one who reads it to see the progress and changes in our new life down South thats good enough for me.

On the move
Gosh its been a while since I updated, things have been so busy....( when are they not...LOL)
Our home is now officially on the market, It has been on for a week now, and within the first day we had 2 offers......unfortunatly any potential buyer would need 20% down which neither one did, so we just need to wait it out until that "Right" buyer comes along, or until the 60 days on the market time is up, in which that case McDonalds will buy the house from us.....not the best scenario as they will not give us full market $$ for it, but it is what it is.
In the meantime we have found a Gorgeous house in Georgia which we now have under contract.....its going to be a perfect home for us with lots of room to raise our family, a HUGE yard, and right on the lake, which we both have always wanted, I hope we can make this house a "Home" like we have with the one we are leaving behind.
Sports are in full gear.......Jordan is once again playing baseball, Mallory & Makenna are doing soccer ....which Melissa is going to help out and assist Makenna's team. and Melissa is hoping to get on a girls softball team.....so our weekends are CHUCK full of games & practices. But enjoy watching them so much.....despite the chaos of all the running around it is alot of fun.
We recently got back from our Disney trip.....and the little ones did SO great on the plane!!! I was so nervous on how Jonathan & Jarrett would be but, they did really well.....they are becoming little seasoned travelers and I actually think they are getting the routine of flying.....hoping thats the case for when I need to fly with ALL the children when the time comes for me to make the official move to GA.
Easter will be here this weekend and I'am really looking forward to coloring eggs with the children and doing the egg hunt.....its the FIRST Holiday we will have had together as a family without the stress of Alan working 80 hrs prior.
My Little Jonathan is going to be 2 this month and our Grandbaby Marley is turning 1 next week.......I cant believe how fast this year has gone and how many things can change in such a short time.
So much to write about, but just wanted to give a quick rundown until for now.
