Long time, no post!

Hello all.......

I totally forgot i even had this blog! It's been a long time and many things have changed in my life since my last post. For starters, I had another baby! Last November, my sweetie pie Genevieve Cecile was born. Surprise, surprise! We were shocked, really shocked to find out that was happening again, but don't know what we'd do without such a lovely little person in our life. God truly blessed me with the most awesome baby. She's beautiful inside and out. Her personality is so awesome, she smiles all day and night. She's a great nurser and her siblings love her to death. Yes, she is getting spoiled, but i can't stop the madness of love that surrounds her, it's inevitable.

I am still with Girling as a marketer~ it's a tough job. Things are very competitive and you have to be in the mind frame all the time to look for new patients. I am pretty creative, but sometimes don't feel like it is totally my gig. It helps pay the bills and allows the kids to be involved in different things and the company is really awesome, so that is the motivation i lean on when things get tough.

I became certified as a Lactation Consultant last October and am SO looking forward to seeing how that will fit into my life. I cannot express the sheer passion i have for helping moms feed their babies. It is so rewarding and fulfilling and i can talk to anyone about it for as long as they will listen to me. I started a small business called "The Busy Nest" a few months ago in relation to the breast-feeding and it's slow going, but getting there. There is so much to doing that, and honestly, i am learning as i go. One day i hope to have a place where mom's can go to do some great shopping for their babies or themselves and get lactation advice if they need it.

I am learning how to do the "web" page thing, my business page is still a work in progress. It's fun, but i am very picky about how things look and coordinate together, so sometimes i make Travis a little crazy when i talk nonstop about this and that related to it. He is so encouraging of me starting this business, but honestly between 5 kids and 2 full time jobs, it takes a backseat most days. I am hoping to soon apply for some grants to help me purchase some things i need to get it going, but even that process overwhelms me. Anyway, we'll see how it all turns out. For now, just trying to get through the summer with all the kids at home without us all stepping over each other!
