Is it possible that just after my little guy turned 6 months old that Marc and I are discussing the possibility of trying for another baby. Our thought process is we only want 2 children and we might as well get it over with while I'm able to stay at home with them. That of course is not the only reason why we want another child, I'd love for Scout to have a friend. I know the first couple years are going to be tough but I also know that as the years get farther along they are going to become closer friends.
I have to think though about a lot of different things. Is my body ready for it? Can my mentality handle it? I'm just starting to feel normal again. Is Scout going to get neglected? Is he going to feel left out or am I not going to be able to praise him for the milestones he reaches like I would if he were the only child? Are we rushing this?
So many things to consider. I just have to make a decision fast because I won't have full coverage insurance after I leave my job. Any positive advice in a situation like this?

Messy House or Family Day???
I find myself asking this question a lot. I feel like while I'm trying to balance my crazy life I constently have to choase a perfect house or to really focus on my family. The majority of the time I chose my family, they are my number one priority.
Sunday's are always our famliy days and this weekend we actually switched days Saturday was our family day which means I didn't get a chance to deep clean like I usually do. So instead of taking a day to clean I continued to spend more time with my family and finish up my project that I working on for a wedding present. I took pictures as I did it and I'll post a d.i.y. post in a little while I need to give the present to my friend first before I reveal it to the world.
In the picture below, You can see the project I'm working on hanging on the wall, scissors on the floor (real safe right? Glad Scout's not crawling yet,) all the babies entertainment, and our coffee table is a complete reck with hardly any space to work. Despite this wreck of a living room I had an awesome day with my little guy while my husband studied for his finals. If it means that I get more time with my familiy then I'll take a messy house 1 day out of the week.
I took this picture because I kept having that same question repeat it's self over and over. This mess was driving me crazy and got me thinking. I see so many women who are doing these beautiful crafts in beautiful spaces and is that really how they live? Is there house really that clean and nice all the time?
