I am not able to run and chase them, so I've figured out a way for us to be outside and playing...yet contained, all within our concrete-asphalt apartment complex!   Use the TENNIS COURT!    It's completely fenced in! Some soft 'tennis' shoes [that's why we call them this, no?] and some balls n toys ...we're set to go!</p>
<p dir=ltr>Let's go wear off some energy!!<br></p>
<p dir=ltr>Some of my ideas: kick ball, soccer ball, bounce tennis balls (novel idea eh?), sidewalk chalk (on outter edges), hop scotch on taped down papers (sensory: hearing, tactile, prioproceptive!), relays, bubbles....oh hooray for fenced tennis court!!<br><br></p>
<p dir=ltr>Some ideas closely related to tennis itself:</p>

I am an advocate for breastfeeding, while respecting a mothers right to choose what is best for herself and her child. The following was sent to me and I am posting, to share with anyone who is willing to do a little survey. I did the survey on my smartphone and it took abt 15 min due to the formatting on the website...but was simple and even easy. Hopefully you'll share, pin, and take the survey too!<br><br></p>
<p dir=ltr><i>"Dear USA Leaders,</i></p>
<p dir=ltr><i> </i></p>
<p dir=ltr><i>The Chief of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics at the Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York contacted LLLI for help with a breastfeeding survey. His division is interested in studying the experiences of mothers who chose to breastfeed their infants beyond one year of age.  They are particularly interested in learning more about these mothers' experiences with their health care providers, families, and friends regarding prolonged nursing and where these mothers found the support they needed.</i></p>
<p dir=ltr><i> </i></p>
<p dir=ltr><i>LLLI forwarded the project to the LLL USA Council since the survey focuses primarily on mothers in the USA.</i></p>
<p dir=ltr><i> </i></p>
<p dir=ltr><i>No mothers, babies, milk supplies, or breastfeeding relationships will be put at risk by a mother's participation in this study. There is no outside funding or conflict of interest. The survey has been reviewed and approved by the Cohen Children's Medical Center Institutional Review Board. The LLL USA Council has also reviewed the survey.</i></p>
<p dir=ltr><i> </i></p>
<p dir=ltr><i>Eventually the researchers' goal is to share the results at the annual Pediatric Academic Societies' meeting --- the preeminent pediatric research meeting.  They also plan to submit the findings to one of the peer-reviewed pediatric journals for publication and perhaps to the American Academy of Pediatrics as well. The results could eventually impact the training of young pediatricians during their residencies. The results may also provide support for funding opportunities for LLL.</i></p>
<p dir=ltr><i> </i></p>
<p dir=ltr><i>Please help in the distribution of this survey through all the appropriate channels to which you have access and encourage others to do the same. We are hoping for a very large nationwide response from current and former LLL Leaders, members, friends, and from mothers who have not yet met LLL, too!  This survey is for all mothers who have ever breastfed a child beyond a year.</i></p>
<p dir=ltr><i> </i></p>
<p dir=ltr><i>Here is the link: www.BreastfeedingToddlers.org</i></p>
<p dir=ltr><i>The survey is also posted on the LLL USA Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/LaLecheLeagueUSA</i></p>
<p dir=ltr><i> </i></p>
<p dir=ltr><i>While we are hoping for a surge of responses right away, the study will continue through mid-April.</i></p>
<p dir=ltr><i>Thank you for your help in sharing the survey!</i></p>

Why the outpour of photos? We have to move to a lower level apartment (good ole heart,  paired with high risk pregnancy), which started a several month quest for a first floor available within our complex.  Then suddenly, our downstairs neighbors moved out! Let's just move down stairs! How easy would that be!</p>
<p dir=ltr>Then the apartment policy came up: for transfers; they view the current unit, as is, so as to avoid moving one problem unit to another unit. Understandable. But  oh-my-God!  You've seen my <a href="http:// honeybee52000.blogspot.com/2013/05/unmanageability.html">photos!</a>  I can't have them in here!!  They might evict just because of the current state of chaos, and that's before packing to move chaos! Eeeeks!!</p>
<p dir=ltr>*** I AM SICK AND TIRED OF LIVING THIS WAY!   I WILL NOT TOLERATE IT ANY LONGER!! ***</p>
<p dir=ltr>I have asked friends and family for help (watching kiddos while hubby and I purge, pack, and stack... or cleaning and packing) and help asap. We already took all the yardsale items [another project] out of the house and brought them to storage for the next 2 weeks until the yardsale. We've bagged a few bags of donatables. We've cleaned up the daily mess and attacked our mountain of laundry. (Albeit now a mountain of clean laundry -- need someone to fold and hang because I can't.) We've purged an entire closet of things.</p>
<p dir=ltr>This is all such good progress!  But it's not enough. After the hectic weekend, help has said to come. We are hoping that the beginning of next week, we will be in a position to move forward with the apartment transfer process and allow them into the home once it's tolerable.</p>

<p dir=ltr>What on earth happened to my tidy, uncomplicated life?!  I used to keep everything where it belonged, and had a few boxes of crafty things... but child bearing and a debilitating condition, brought me to this point ....not even the cupboards are safe.</p>
<p dir=ltr>I used to practice the prinicple of just enough. As a single person, I had 2 plates, 2 bowls, pot n pan, 3 coffee mugs (it so sucks when you neeeeed coffee and the only mug you have is dirty), and half of a cabinet of food items. Oh, and a dorm sized frig. As a sahm mother of 2 and one enroute, we have a stack of plates n bowls n mugs, plus the kids plastic plates n bowls n cups n lids, a cupboard full of pots n pans, 3 cupboards and a small pantry of foods, and an apartment sized frig... that is NOT big enough!!</p>
<p dir=ltr>How can I ask for more when what I have is totally out of control?!<br></p>
<p dir=ltr>I love to cook but am so overwhelmed and out of energy, rarely can I even get to whatever foods I need to prepare... much less cook it. GAH!</p>

<p dir=ltr>Our closets and dressers are under utilized and unorganized.  Stacked boxes with who-knows-what's  inside. If we don't know what's in there, why keep it?! We've been working on the concept: one in, one out. For every 'new'  item we adopt, one gets donates (or sold if we absolutely have to recover the cost- this is becoming less and less, as we are more in the mode of GET IT OUT!)  And a flat surface is my nemesis,  becomes a "hot spot" in a moments notice.</p>
<p dir=ltr>The bathrooms are more manageable,  I believe that's because they're smaller rooms and I can attempt to clean up or just wipe down the surfaces (given my physical limitations). FlyLady calls it a swish &swipe... works for me!</p>

<p dir=ltr>I am a sahm of  two, three and under, in a high risk pregnancy with baby3, on a  modified bed-rest of sorts, living in a 1000sq ft apartment... with a very supportive husband, recovering from a disease, who works full time, making 20k a year. Whew, what a mouth full. Since motherhood,  my life has been upside down, backwards and sideways.  Dont get me wrong, I LOVE being a mommy and all the wonder and joy you get from parenthood... but it's all upside down, backwards and sideways!</p>
<p dir=ltr>My heart condition has decided that pregnancy and parenting are enough, and its deciding to take a break. Meaning; I must have corrective surgery in the next couple of years, if I want to live and grow with my family.  Which means, everything I've ever known (energy, ability, emotions, desires, dreams, goals, expectations as a mother) has changed... drastically. In a relatively short amount of time.</p>
<p dir=ltr>What this has done to the household, the level of inability and lack of serenity,  is unreal (not including the fact that there are two able bodied, active toddlers living here). I will disclose photos because I know I'm not the only one who's been here in this situation. The Fly Lady has summed it up wisely: CHAOS.  An acronym for "Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome". <br>
(http://flylady.net)</p>
<p dir=ltr>Let me take a moment to say clearly: I am thankful for what I have, all that's been provided, and all the change that has happened during these few years. Progress is progress no matter how small. It all counts!</p>
<p dir=ltr>We have walkways throughout the house. Stacks of boxes, piles of stuff, in every possible location. My understanding is, the only differences between us and a "hoarder" (as in someone conflicted with the disease that controls the emotions and thinking) is that we willingly and eagerly purge items, and we are amidst habit-changing lifestyle changes. We are ridding our entire lives of clutter, one bag or box at a time. It just isn't fast enough for my likings!</p>

I've been crockpot cooking anything and everything. Here's lunch: pasta w.sauce! Desired amt of uncooked pasta, cover w.watered down sauce of choice. </p>
<p>One hour (I've eaten this same dish after 30-40 min too), on high,  ¡viola! Ready to eat pasta!  I put it together just before leaving to pick up from PreK, it's ready when we arrive.   Prep time: 30 seconds to 1 minute. Yeah!! My kinda dish! <br><br><br></p>
<p>*update: add a scoop of cottage cheese to the bowl, seems much like lasagna! Mmm! </p>

Life gets busy with two toddlers, phew!</p>
<p>I have created many Pinteresting things, including the cinnamon-bun-pancakes that I said I would make once my husband found them and pinned it on his own Pinterest board! (He did it!)</p>
<p>Most recently I made a weekly menu board. Being impoverished and unable to spend $10 to make <a href="http:// http://clairsfairytale.blogspot.com/2012/01/ultimate-menu-board.html?m=1">this cool menu board</a>, I made due with what we had on hand... cardboard from a previously used box, markers, paper, clothes pins. I color coded the papers to make sense for our families needs.  It may not be the cutest, but it functions and makes my week a smidge easier. Hooray! ((Used glu stick to adhere clothes pins to the cardboard, some office clips stapled to the wall -- yes, that's right-- stapled.)) [McGuyverette here]</p>

<br />
As I tossed an empty chip bag towards the garbage, my baby abruptly turned, starring at the crinkley bag, reaching in the air as if to say "momma, I want that!". Hmmm... what can I make with it? I got it! A shakey crinkly bag! I cut the top half of the bag and threw it away (some things actually do make it into the garbage, lol).<br />

With the bottom half, I turn it inside out [shiny side out] and gave it a hot rinse and dried. Then put about 1/4 cup of uncooked rice into the inside-out-bag. Folded the top edge over, folded the corners in to avoid pokey points, and sealed with a long thin strip of duct tape [don't ya just love that amazing wonder-all tape?!]<br />

Stick spaghetti into a mound of dough (playdoh shown, can use homemade salt dough too!), have toddler place cheerios onto spaghettis. Of course, she came up with her own rendition... shortened the spaghetti [because she was rough-housing them and they snapped], counted a few out, and *precisely* replaced the newly shortened pieces back into the already-used holes. Nothing else would do.<br />

I do hope to print some of these and display, craft with some, and wrap with others! For the novice I am, I have been thoroughly enjoying this discovery process... what will I doodle next??<br />

YEAH! Who doesn't tear up or start a nose running from chopping onions? I know I do! When hubby and I recently had sinus and cold symptoms, after chopping some onions, he received hours of relief, well worth the crying and runny nose whilst chopping [keep tissues handy and wash wash wash those hands]. Plus there are ready-chopped onions you can bag and freeze for future use!<br />
<br />
Also, how about some sinus clearing with homemade staunch mustard on your next vittle... or, some Asian horseradish otherwise known as Wasabi!<br />
<br />
<br />
And this, I have not tired but am eager to: MilkOfMagnesia as a deodorant, ringworm ridder, treating athletes foot or other bacterial issues... hmmm? Seen in a comment at the very bottom of this <a href="http://green.yourway.net/homemade-baking-soda-coconut-oil-deodorant/">blog</a>, I am willing to give this a try (at least the homemade deodorant and perhaps the m.o.m. deodorant).<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.kyagr.com/KDAPage.aspx?id=7665">Anderson's Natural Honey</a> for sore throat coverage! Did you know honey is antimicrobial, therefore ickies cannot grow in honey? Why not coat the ailing throat [for those over 1year of age, NOT acceptable for babies!] with straight honey. Also helps reduce cough due to post-nasal-drip, and helps to minimize allergy related irritations... triple bonus!<br />

<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">Having a condition that will require surgery to correct, this is near and dear to my heart [pun intended]. I had heard about this diet years ago. It was developed by the American Heart Association for cardiac patients who were needing to loose actual body fat, not water weight, before surgery. I have done this diet a few times, successfully losing weight ever time, albeit not necessarily 10 pounds as the write-up suggests (perhaps didn't have that much to lose back then?). Any progress is better than none!!</span></span></div>

So what is this diet? Well, it is simply called The Three-Day Diet. I know, it doesn't sound that impressive, but don't always judge something's merit by its name. During the process of the diet, you will lose 10 pounds of actual body fat. But how? Well, it happens through a chemical reaction due to the type of foods that you are eating. When you are on this diet, you know that you are dieting, however, after the first day you can tell that it is working.</div>

DIRECTIONS:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
When you are on this diet, you may not use any other seasonings EXCEPT for salt and pepper. Also, you may drink either water or diet soda or tea with artificial sweetener. However, make sure that you drink at least 9 glasses of water per day in order to aid the flushing process that your body will be going through. Also, don't snack throughout the day. <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
When you do this diet, you will be "on-diet" for the three days, and then you will take three days off, and then repeat the process until all your excess body fat has disappeared. MAKE SURE you take those three days off! When you are off of the diet, you are able to eat anything that you want, however, eat moderately. Also, when you are dieting for the three days, keep your exercise routine to a minimum, due to the fact that your energy level will be lower than normal for the first two days.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
As with all diets and weight loss routines, you are going to need to listen to your body. If you are feeling overly weak, or lightheaded, eat something. Everybody is different, so please, be careful with yourself. Below is a grocery list for you to print<br />

<u>To make 4 Gianormous Stuffed Burgers:</u><br />
4 lbs burger (I'm telling you, these were l.a.r.g.e. burgers!!)<br />
salt n peppa<br />
cheese of choice, grated/thinly sliced<br />
texas toast [we realllllly like thick toast for our home-made burgers]<br />
toppings of choice<br />
<br />
..Blend salt n peppa [<strike>and we in effect</strike>] with the burger.<br />
..Patty out 8 large thin burger patties, about 5" diameter<br />
..Atop one patty, pile about 1/4 cup cheese [we used Blu Cheese, and PepperJack]<br />
..Top the cheesed-piled-patty, with a burger patty, and pinch the edges well (this contains<br />
the cheese through the grilling process)<br />
..Grill to preferred done-ness [use a lid if you have hard cheeses inside, may have to drain<br />
grease part way through, depending on the fat content of the beef and the grill of<br />
choice... a Foreman or outdoor grill will rid the excessive grease as you go]<br />
..Toast the bread, top with preferred toppings<br />
.. Open mouth WIDE and chow down!!<br />

A friend's 2 yr old birthday party is coming up, having very limited funds, I wanted to create somethings I think the toddler will enjoy. After Pinning like crazy, buying some [very cheap] materials, crafting a bit, and finally testing with my toddler..... here we go!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
First was making a magnetic pom pom board. I used white school glue, clipped a magnet [got free in the mail, cut into teeny tiny pieces], glued to the pompoms and let dry, all on a new cookie sheet. This took about 20 minutes from start, cutting magnets and gluing to pompoms, plus dry time ~20 min. Super cute! I now need to craft one for my toddler too!</div>

Next, I made a push-thru for practicing fine motor skills. Upcycling a puff snack container, I cut slits into the lid, cut pipe cleaners in half [bending all ends over so they're not too pokey], and painted color coordinated dots over the cut clits on the lid to match the pipe cleaner colors (color matching will be for more advanced 2 yr old, I wanted the toddler to be able to grow into this toy).</div>

This was an impromptu gift for a friend who crafts jewelry, she uses these tiny containers to hold the beads. I simply snipped a silk flower from a bundle, poked the stem through the plastic, attached a quick hand-written THANK YOU note, and delivered to her door! :) (this was all done using dollar store finds, assembled while sitting in my vehicle) What a quick and easy way to spruce up a gift, without a bag and tissue and card, etc!</div>

I asked the clerk for a pair of scissors, clipped one for my toddler who was eyeing the pretty "fow-fer" (she thought she was the mac-daddy when I handed her the singular flower!), and another for my friend's package.</div>

I also made this push thru for my toddler to practice and play with. I upcycled a container that had split on the side... cut holes various sizes in the lid. Push pompoms through the holes!</div>

<br />
As I recently had a momentary 'ugh', feeling rather 'stuck at home' and the thought that I 'never do anything'... I was reminded.... one season of my life, I spent traveling the world! Literally! I hope to be able to also do travels with my new family, but for today, I'm thankful for memories of travels!<br />
<br />
This is the beginning of what I hope to have multiple sequels. A post illustrating some of the amazing places I've been, and experiences I have had.<br />
<br />
<br />
Growing up impoverished, we never had the fancy family vacation some have had; Disney, cruises, coast to coast, out of country, ocean, or even fancy hotels along the way. Instead, our family "vacation" was typically travel to and fro Michigan, (where 99% of our family resides) visiting every possible person we could, running every day to a different location, non-stop-on-the-go. We also did tent-camping, graduating to an o.l.d. pop-up-camper (60's model with snap on canvas top and sides), and truck-top camper, then an o.l.d. RV. Needless to say, these trips were quite the experiences. I mostly recall the times we broke down along the highway, and when it seemed to down-pour every weekend we tried to go camping, lol, go figure. For an optimistic person, these were the events that seem to stand out the most as I type this.<br />
<br />
I remember thinking that o.l.d. pop-up camper was the coolest thing ever, because we got to pack everything <i>inside </i>the camper, and merely had to 'pop-up' the top and <i>viola!</i>, our dwelling. That, and we had <b>beds</b>! Woohoo! No more pokey rocks and twigs, and wet sleeping bags! The RV had the most beautiful old wood cabinets. The truck-top camper was the coolest because we could ride in the above-cab bed, or sit at the table and play cards or games, WHILE WE TRAVELED (ohmigosh, as a parent I now think: I'm sure this was not very safe.... but outside of driving two vehicles- which we could not afford to do, remember i.m.p.o.v.e.r.i.s.h.e.d. - it was the best we could do just to go on an outing)!<br />
<br />
I will have to keep an eye out for some photos of these travel vessels so I can post them.<br />

There were a couple camping trips that stand out.<br />
Taking the truck-top camper (through Chicago and Green Bay, all riding in the cool camper, knocking on the thru-window to the truck when needing to communicate with parents) to the U.P. for a family reunion. How many of you know, without Googling it, what the U.P. is? Hehehehh. Munising, Lake Superior, and a "dahg-wok" at the campground. Translation: dog walk according to the Upper's. Pronouced- yooper. Another one ya might have to Google ;-).<br />

RVing to Natural Bridge, and the Red River Gorge, KY. Camping, hiking, blowing a tire on a Sunday afternoon along the highway, hungry, and with 3 teenagers... Gah! Thank God for Mercy, and good 'ole country fellas (and a semi towing truck) who were willing to do some work and get us back on the road.<br />

The first non-Michigan family trip we took was to Washington D.C. 'Tis the trip in which I confirmed I suffer from motion sickness, driving at night, in the rain, through the mountains, <i>plegh! </i> In D.C. we stood at the Lincoln Memorial and decided that the Washington Monument looked rather cool and we could walk over and see it (!). For those who have done this, it is incredibly deceiving. It is a rather long, long, long walk! Whew! I remember the walk. And the Hope diamond. It was gianormous. Also during that trip, we visited my first ever Aquarium in Baltimore. Impressive.</div>

When I was 15, at the *perfect* age, I had an opportunity to travel with a boyfriend's family to Disney World!! A for-real vacation! We stayed at the Dolphin Resort, a for-real fancy hotel! We visited Disney for 5 days. Epcot was by far my favorite, which explains my later love for country-to-country travels.<br />

The ever important beginning to my day... coffee! Or as a very dear friend says; coffee-flavored-syrup (just the way I like it)! And with that, my very first ever photo post :'9</div>

Ever.So this is my first blog post. Ever. (I know, I know, I am sooo behind the times!) What has started this all for me, is one incredible website that I am falling ever so in-love with; Pinterest! Through that one singular website I have realized how many 'Pinteresting' things I do on a regular basis. Add to my daily doings, the newly pinned ideas, and Ah-Ha moments, and the desire to have a spot to post photos and tutorials of what I do-do, and am going-to-do, and <i>viola!</i>, my very own blog is born!<br />
<br />
I'm just so thrilled to have this started, am at a loss for words (a rarity, rest assured). Eager to start posting photos and Pinning, Pinning, Pinning! Wooooo!HoneyBee52000http://www.blogger.com/profile/02680180469133585905noreply@blogger.com0
