GOING PRIVATE

For more reasons then one I've decided to make my blog private. I figure that if I'm ever going to post on this freaking blog,I would feel much better if I went private...I know most of you are thinking "you never post anyways?"... I know I will never be the person who keeps up faithfully at my blog,I guess I just don't feel like I have too much to say, I'd like to keep a blog where I feel comfortable sharing my reality, and not what most just want to see and hear. I'm also wanting to go private out of respect to my closest friends and family who may not want to be out for anyone many times I don't post because of that. I want to keep a blog as a journal, so I can look back and have some kind of way of tracking my growing kids, life goes by way too fast! I know this will make me want to share more even if it's to myself!! so I'm pretty sure everyone has given up on my lame blog since I post about once a year! I know doing this will help! I'd love to share blogs so to anyone who wants to share leave your email or email me at krcapri@hotmail.com thanks! Kristy wright

HOW ABOUT ALL 10 OF YOU WHO READ MY BLOG POST YOUR TENTH PICTURE!

Belly Talk

I know I really haven't blogged much about this little baby girl I'm about to have? I'm 30 weeks along, and I guess a part of me feels a bit guilty?? I'm just going to be honest... the second time around (atleast for me)? has been quite different..I feel like when you are about to have your first baby you start to feel this love that you have never felt before and it was for me, consuming my every thought, conversation, i read all the books, spent all my time preparing myself for him to come! it dragged because I just couldn't wait to meet him. I felt like I became the person I had always wanted to be when I brought that little man into the world? the day I had Ethan was the best day of my life! just ask my close friends I couldn't even talk about that day or babies without tearing up it was so special! So I guess what I'm saying is I've felt a bit guilty for not being so "into" this little baby girl of mine? don't get me wrong I love her so much already and would die if anything happened but I've been just waiting to feel the same as I did with Ethan and I just haven't? this pregnancy has also been a bit harder, but I don't think that's it? It's been a real struggle for me and had many conversations with my husband about it so the reason I'm sharing this is I talked to my sweet mother in law who has had 6! children and we've always been close, she just has that ability to always make you feel better. and I wanted to share incase anyone has felt the same way? she told me that "the love you feel for your first is not different then your other children, but just new to you". she said "it's like you have an empty spot in your heart before you have a baby, that you just didn't know was there, and it's filled up with a love you never had felt, when you have your first child,it doen't mean you love any others less but your heart already knows the love and it's just not so new"? I guess it just made me feel so much better to hear that what I've been feeling is "normal" i guess.. so for those who only have one, or no children don't put the pressure on yourself to have this "Idea" and expectation that it's all suppose to feel the EXACT same cause lets be honest it will never be like your first! I think i've wasted alot of months now thinking that somethings wrong and I'm a bad mom? after I let the guilt go I've been able to just have a NEW experience with little baby Brooklynn.. we love her so much already!

Any Idea's?

So ever since I went to that "Embrace Your Space" organizing and productivity class I have been doing lots of little "TO DO'S" I've been to Target three times this week because all of the big bins are on sale for only 5-6 bucks! so..I guess I'm nesting?? I'm trying to do it all now but each day things are getting harder cause I'm getting bigger! but I kinda have done everything that I learned so I thought it would be fun to have everyone post there "Very helpful organizing tips" PLEASE write something for those..(LIKE ME) who this stuff doesn't come so natural? thanks!...ps. I really want to post some new pictures but can't seem to find my stupid usb! maybe someone will give me a good tip and I'll find it!! and yes I already have a electronics bin..next!

Lessons Learned

Well I haven't updated for awhile cause I've been working alot more, then by the time I get home all I wanna do is play with Ethan and hangout with Jesse, which I feel 100% ok with! But I did have a pretty neat weekend that I would like to share?
My Mom, sister Rachel, and sis in law Carrie all went to the "Successful Mothering Convention" on Saturday at the Expo Center. It's kinda been a tradition for us to hit up the fun "Girly" expo's, but this one was a first for us, and was a little different. Instead of it being a bunch of vendors and spending way too much $$$ they had hour long classes that you could take. They had classes from "how to get over not being a perfect mom", gardening, cleaning and organizing, styling,financial,relationships, and on and on!I wish I had the time, and attention span to go to all.. but I kinda just mapped out the two that I felt like I needed most. Which were "Organizing in three easy steps" and "Real Relationships,Real Results" so I left feeling very inlightened and just wanted to share what I learned... So The one on organizing my mom and sister didn't go to because let's face it they both could have taught the class. I on the other hand have been working hard on this and feel like I'm much better but not where I would like to be so here's some helpful tips I took from this Professional Organizer..
1-make sure everything in your home has it's own home
2- She said to have a donation box in your closet.. This will totally help me everyday when I'm getting ready I go through my clothes and think "I never wear this" but then it just sits till I have a DI cleanout, it would be much easier to just keep it in there and get rid of it as I go.
3- Throwing things away would mean admitting the money spent was wasted so many like myself will keep it around.. but ask yourself how much money and space is it costing to keep and maintain it?
4- for those with kids this one was a great one for me. It seems like Ethan will wear things a few times and he has already grown out of it so she said to just have a too small bin so when you do laundry you can just toss it in as you go! seems so simple why the hell have I not been doing this???
5- make a plan before you start your project I always think it's gonna need a whole day but if you start with a plan before it seems too not feel so overwhelming?
these things I'm sure many, like my mother and sister already do but for the rest of us I thought It would help? the Girls who taught the class in named Evelin Turner and her website is www.organizedbyevelin.com
So the next class I went to was so amazing I don't even think I could put it into words? I was laughing so hard! it was the REAL RELATIONSHIPS,REAL RESULTS. taught by this funny man named Matt Townsend he hosts a Radio show and JUST WROTE A BOOK CALLED "THE STARVED STUFF" coming out on V-Day. the point he tried to get across was, most of us usually have certain things we fight about.. money,sex,time, hobbies,GOLF!!!!ha ha etc. he called that the "SMOKE" it's always there and just never seems to go away right? but we never learn how to put out the"FIRE" so the same fight happens over and over. He also made the point that I thought was funny that none of us have these problems huh just all of our friends and neighbors do RIGHT! um doubt it! but he said that most of the fights people have are because whatever the fight may be it's usually becuse it's messing with one of the Starved emotions which stands for..
*SAFETY
*TRUST
*APPRECIATION
*RESPECT
*VALIDATION
*ENCOURAGMENT
*DETICATION
so next time your "Neighbor" since none of us fight..have a problem I've been trying to look at the STARVED and realize it's not the smoke, but the starved emotion (one of the ones up above)and it helps me recognize what the real "fire" is? I tried my best to explain what I learned but it's hard so you'll just have to read his book! I'm happy I got to spend some time with my mom and my sisters with all the other wife's, and mom's,who are all just tring the best we can to keep up with our CRAZY lives!
