Sorry for the wait

Cassie and I haven't really been doing anything besides the day to day cleaning and taking care of the house. We have been spending a lot of time outside the weather has been nice and sunny for a while. Today though not so much, its cold and cloudy, so we went the our mommy-and-me group to see Caspar Babypants in concert. He is an amazing singer of children's songs, Cassie had a great time. We have a play date at the house on Monday that we need to get ready for and Cassie is seeing a nutritionist for the first time here in WA on Wednesday. I'm hoping that she can figure out how  I can get Cassie to gain some weight.

Video...

So there's this video of a mom in Malaysia who beats her 8-month old baby girl, she repeatedly hits, pinches, slaps, throws things, kicks and at one point pushed the baby off of her when the baby was trying to be consoled. This video is absolutely horrifying. I got about 2 and a half minutes into the 5 minute video the second time I tried to watch it. In the background, I'm assuming the person video taping the abuse, sounds like their telling the mom to stop, I don't see why they don't do more about it. I cannot imagine doing this to my daughter, I cant even begin to imagine what that poor child felt. In the video you can also see at least 2 other kids in the background watching this happen. In the description of the video it said that the mom was tried for child abuse and got ONLY 18 months in jail. Being a child of various abuses and neglect I say she should get a whole lot more than 18 months. Now Im loving on the little lady telling her that I will not let anything like that happen to her EVER, I know she doesn't understand why Mommy is being so emotional but that video not only brought back memories but also made me realize that I could have had it a whole lot worse that I did.

Last few days

These last few days have been interesting to say the least. Friday we had an appointment in the morning and we were out till basically 12:30 came home for nap and played out on the balcony for a bit. I was hoping to get more accomplished but I felt like poo all day. Saturday Cassie hung out with Daddy so I can rest, I also got my drivers permit so I can get my license really soon! Sunday was the usual grocery shopping, come home and watch the NASCAR race and deep clean the house. Monday we had a doctor appointment for a weight check, she gained about a half a pound in a month, she now weighs 19 lbs 5 oz at 20 months. We got home in time for lunch and nap then we left for a park playdate and got home in time to make dinner. Yesterday we went to the store in the morning and Cassie fell asleep on the bus ride home, we stayed home yesterday because I have been neglecting the house work with all the nice weather. Today we are staying home again and I am cleaning the house once again, and trying to get everything organized and looking good and presentable.

So Slow...

After being out all day yesterday today seems to be going by so slow. Yesterday we got home from out play date at about 1230, Cassie fell asleep at the bus stop so we didn't go to the store. Cassie slept until about 230 in the time I did dishes, folded a load of laundry from the day before and washed and dried a new load, ate lunch and cleaned up a little. After Cassie woke up, since the weather was good, we took a walk to the store and bought a few things for dinner and enjoyed the sunshine! When we got home it was time to make dinner before the hubby came home from work. Today is a lazy day because we are going to be out a good majority of the day tomorrow.

Agenda for today

Today Cassie decided to wake up at 645! We have a playdate at 10:00, we have to leave at 9:00 to catch the bus there. After the playdaye we have to go to the store and pick up some pediasure and fruits and veggies along with probably lunch and hopefully we will be home by 12:30-1 so Cassie can finish her nap at home. I am hoping the weather is nice so that we dont get wet waiting for the bus.On a sie note, the activities page will probably be empty for a while as we will slowly buy some supplies for some projects and things for Cassie to do.

First Post!

I am writing this as the little lady sleeps. I am writing this blog mainly to showcase what a stay-at-home mom (SAHM) does and to help Moms get ideas for some activities to do with the little ones. A little about me and my family: I am currently 22 years old, my boyfriend is 23 and our daughter, Cassie, is almost 20 months old! I am a SAHM to Cassie. I love my life and I love being able to see my daughter grow and become her own person. Please bear with me as I learn the in's and out's of this blog.
