About Me

My photo
Hello! I am Bethany, a mom of 4 beautiful children, a owner of a dog, and married to a miner/hunter. (Camo is a popular color in our home). We recently relocated to the UP of Michigan from Juneau,Alaska...a huge adjustment. I have a passion for photography and documenting our journey through life. But, most of the time Im busy with my kids, hiding in the bathroom for peace and quiet, or trying to find my dog because he runs away all the time. Welcome to our world...always full of adventure.

Highlights of the Week

This weeks highlights include:

-Cleaning the garage (the most disgusting job IN THE WORLD)

-Getting to world 2 level 5 on Mario Brothers


-Going to Lunch with the kids at School. That was so cool. It's fun to see how your kids react when you surprise them.

-Creating a chore chart and everyone completing there tasks. 4th day straight. Not only does it help me, but I'm glad the kids are learning about organization. Trey is a good cleaner and does his job. Morgan complains the whole time...but likes the results after.

-Shopped less...but It feels like I'm spending more. I tried to stay under 200.00 and I think I am up to 210.00 after today. The part isn't the food...it's all the other things like tp, laundry soap,..ect. What will be nice is to find out exactly where all the money is going and then see where I can cut back. I hope I have a great story like:
"I started budgeting and I made 800.00...."
...but, I don't think it will be that dramatic.

-Last but not least, I got out of the house today and made it to a babyshower. I bought a homemade bath towel from here, a friend of mine. Along with the towel, I gave her a gift certificate for "A photo session" by me. I'm really excited to be able to share a talent, and give it as a gift.

Hey thanks for the recognition. I hope she liked the towel. And I'd say that's a pretty accomplished list for the week. Way to go with the job chart for the kids too.
