SAHM 12/27 to 1/2

Count me in! I would love to connect with other SAHMs.

Nicole~did you get your sewing projects done? I am still working on the hubby's scarf. I need to still start on the kids scarf. Plus I was wanting to make my sisters and mom aprons.

Welcome Kimmiebear and Ashley! This is a great group of ladies.

ok, i'm a little slow...what's sahm?

well I'll be...thx Nicole for clearing that up for me. I am a sahm and didn't even know it! But I'd love to join the group... if you'll have me.

Nicole~We all got to try out our new toys and stop all other projects right?! :laugh: I am ready to put hubby's scarf to the side and try out some of the patterns that I got. The hubby bought me two books one that shows you different stitches and items that you can make using the knifty knitters and the other showing you how to crochet and patterns to use. I am very excited!

Welcome to all the newcomers! Chime in any time with what ever from exercise to every day trials and projects that you are doing.

So I helped the hubby fix some signs to advertise his business. We used my cricut and now I get the leftover stuff from it all. I am pretty excited about that one. I can make up some vinyl letter and maybe give them out as gifts too!

Hello and welcome all new comers.

My holiday was alright. Wednesday I wont be on much, taking my mom to Chicago for heart surgery and then I'm thinking I'll be going to a funeral later this week before the new year

Night everyone. Sorry so short, pretty stressed out right now.

A little intro: I am a 26 year old mother of 2 girls, Olivia who is 2 1/2 and Eleanor who is 10 months. I have been SAH since April of 2010 and I work 2 part time jobs from home. I'm in the process of trying to look to replace one of them as it's just not very convenient (it includes an hour drive every day to pick up work) but it's helping pay the bills for now so there you go.

I've always been a lazy person. LOL but it's true! I love to lounge and read, that's who I am. Give me a fire and a blanket and a few books over working out any day. So I try to do it first thing in the morning so I can be lazy later in the day while the kids nap. Lately, I've been trying to jog in the mornings or get up and do one of the workouts I've DVR'd from FitTV which is great because it's something different every day. It's hard to get out of my warm bet at 5am, but it's worth it because I think it's finally starting to do something! My goal for this week is to work out every morning all 5 days, which is up from 3 days last week.

The holidays were stressful. My mom....well to make a VERY long story short she's a handful and doesn't usually make situations better with her presence so spending Christmas Eve with her and my stepdad's family was not exactly joyful. I tried not to go crazy covering my feelings with food...which meant the feelings all came out of my mouth. It was cathartic and I have to say I feel better, not only that I told her exactly how I felt but also that I didn't cover it all up with food and gain a bunch of weight over Christmas. Only 1.5lbs! That's a victory!

I think I'm going to love this group. It's hard enough finding SAHM friends, let alone those who are fighting the good fight of getting healthy. Thanks for this ladies!!

Barb~ I am sorry to hear that your mom is going in for heart surgery! I hope that the stress lifts soon in your part of the world. :flowerforyou:

Welcome Heather!

hello ladies happy to find a SAHM group on here I've got two boys Theo who's 2 and a half and Sami who's 15 months.

Got really fed up with my body last Feb and sort of thought about loosing weight, end of july is when i finally got my butt in gear and i've now lost 47lbs and i'm only 18lbs away from target!!!

My two boys are complete nutters and "typical boys" so they totally keep me on my toes!


nice to chat to other mums on here

Good morning all! Anyone else having a hard time getting workouts in during Christmas break?
