The Gallaghers: Bring on 2012

Well I have decided to try out this blogging thing! I'm not very good at keeping up on this sort of thing with all the other busy excitement going on in my life but we will see how it goes :) Being in the working field and having two small children life can get pretty busy! The two little blessings are Brady (little man) and Izabell (lil miss) Both are very active and keep us on our toes. The hubby and I are always laughing at little things that they do. >With it being a new year I have decided to become more organized at home, lose more weight and blog. But nobody's perfect, right??? So we will see if they all get accomplished this year. I'm always looking for fun and easy ways to get organized and recently came across a post on a blog where she posted an idea that she found from somewhere. You get little wicker baskets and put name tags on each one (Mommy, Daddy, Little Man, Lil Miss). Every night or morning or whenever you want you pick up all the things laying around the house you put them in the baskets that the toys belong to, matchbox cars for Little Man, dollhouse pieces for Lil Miss, and hats for the hubby! Then everyone is responsible for emptying their basket at the end of the day or right away in the morning from the night before. What do you think?? I think it's a pretty good idea! That's my first thing on my list for getting organized. I also want to start posting grocery lists and dinner menus for the week inside one of our cabinet doors. We often go to the grocery store whenever we need things and just pick up whatever looks good. Not happening anymore, we are spending way to much money doing that, it also doesn't help that we have a Walgreens right by us so it's easy to just quick stop in! With the losing weight thing I have been really trying to shed a few pounds! I have lost about 15 but have a long way to go yet. I would love some healthy snack ideas and organizational tips if anyone has any! But since I don't have any followers yet I don't think I will be getting any answers anytime soon!! (HAHA). Well my goal for blogging is hopefully once a week (oh my, is it possible??) So see you next week :) Here are just a few pics of the little darlings and some fun we had over Christmas break!!!
