It's a crazy, busy life.

I always wonder around this time of year WHY we had to have our kids' birthdays within weeks of each other.

I have been in party planning mode for months with two down and just one to go.

We did friend parties at home for Kaylee and Layton but I decided that there is just no way we are fitting all of our friends and family in our little house when we celebrate Ava. So, hers will have to be held elsewhere.

It also amazes me how much she gets it this year. I bought her a dress and matching headband to wear to her party and whenever she sees it hanging in her closet she will excitedly say, "A-yuhh? (That's what she calls herself) Happy burfday!?"

I ordered her invitations online this morning and she happily sat on my lap repeatedly saying "A-yuh, burfday! Cake!!"

She really is looking forward to it, and I am too. Especially,  the being done part.

New obsessions.

I have recently discovered local consignment pages on Facebook and I am totally hooked.

As if my thrift shopping hobby wasn't bad enough - now I can just do it from home.

I can't believe the deals that I find and selling my stuff is so, so easy. You just post, and they pick up.

I have found Ava a million new outfits,  and new toys. Plus, picked up Kaylee and myself, new clothes. I scored the cutest camera necklace (that I only paid $5 for) and also found a practically brand-new water table for Avas birthday present for next to nothing.

I'm finding it as an easy way to bring in a little extra money too.

I almost get a high from it, and am always searching around the house for more stuff to sell. I think its even helping my issue of hanging onto items for years.  I'm slowly cleaning out my closet and my house is becoming less cluttered.

Winning...
