My new idea of keeping this blog up and running has been slow going here as I learn how to juggle working, baby, and housework. So my question to all is how to do get it all done? Maybe not all of it but how do you keep your house looking presentable while still spending all these precious moments with your little ones?

Also wanted to share some of my first auction experiences and gains from the day... We started by buying nothing and had intended to keep it that way but that all changed with 10 dollars and 60 cents. By the end of it all we came home with a 1916 & 1929 Singer sewing machines (the reason we bided) an WW1 footlocker, an old army tarp, a roll away bed, a full size head and footboard, a nightstand, a side table, a very large old wood picture frame, and some other useless stuff...

A new life is in store for several of the items:

-Sewing Machines - Great table conversation pieces in our new house somewhere.

-Footlocker - A great little toy chest for Baby Boy.

-Nightstand - After a sanding and coat of white paint a new home beside our bed or backdoor?

-Side table - Again, a good coat of white paint and some love.

-Picture Frame - Some love, cleaning up, and some paint and I'm hoping someday that it will make a home above a mantle...

Pictures to follow, when I actually find the charger for my camera.

To be honest I created this blog because I'm jealous... I read all these baby blogs where the mom is a stay at home mom or is happily married and I am not. My boyfriend in I haven't ever really talked about marriage even after we found out we were having AD. Also, we don't have a lot of money, we scrape by every month to pay rent and pay the bills. I don't have the money to buy the coolest and most modern baby toys and clothes that I would love to, but we make do.

That is what this blog is about;

I am the everyday-girl next door-on the brink of poor-recent college grad-probably too young and immature to really have a baby- but I am making it work and trying to love every minute of it.
