My Stay At Home Mom Schedule

That First Year was a Doozy! It's been 14 months since Tyler was born and several months since my last post. Amazing how things change! We moved (across the street) to a larger place and I'm glad to say we now have CENTRAL AIR!!!! Yippee! :-)

I guess I'll just jump right into things so here goes...

I'm not a pro at this stay-at-home mom thing. I won't even pretend. I'm really the type who'd prefer to work and hire someone to come in and clean, etc. BUT with Mr. Tylerbear at such a young age, it's important that I do this. I started looking around online to see what other people's schedules look like and found some good, some questionable, but overall, it comes down customizing to what is helpful for me.

The thing that gets most out of control here has definitely got to be the clutter. While it's certainly not enough to qualify for that show Clean House (darn! haha!!), the little piles on top of the kitchen counters, the dining table and the buffet table are, well, not budging... like bad carrot mash stains on white that weren't 'Shout'ed out in the first wash. So without any further delay, here it is:
