#momlife

April 1^st, 2016 I got a new job title.

I said goodbye to dress pants and hello yoga pants.

It's likely that I have a rock {or two} in my pocket. {thanks my rock loving little boy}

My house gets messier quicker than it ever has {we’re here all the time}.

I’ve got extra {spiderman} undies in my purse.

Instead of reading Federal registers, work email, etc, I read children's books. 

My lunch hour is no longer spent alone.

Speaking of lunch, it usually isn’t warm.

I don’t get sick days, vacation, or break time.

Daily conversations revolve around dolls, trucks, & potty talk.
I've become an excellent referee & negotiator. 

My schedule involves swim lessons, story time, bike rides, and play dates.

I repeat myself, A LOT.

TV entertainment includes Disney Jr, princesses, & super heros.
I answer questions all.day.long.

Instead of my name badge, you might find a sticker {or 2!} on my shirt.

I get mushy kisses throughout the day.

I give magical kisses to take owies away.  

I treasure after nap snuggles.

I’m blessed to spend my days with my kids.

I’m a full time stay-at-home mom, best job ever.

Weekly Meal Plan

Well my first week being a full time Wife/Mama (I still need to post about this!!) was great on the meal

plan front...BUT I got off track for a couple weeks. I think since I was home more I figured I could just wing it each night, but I really didn't like that plan too much. Today Adelyn helped me do the whole meal plan. She even wrote my grocery list for me! Our menu this week is pretty kid friendly! 😉

Sunday: Pizza Nite!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Weekly Meal Plan

One of my favorite things that I feel like keeps our day/budget in order is a meal plan and I haven't done it in FOREVER! So I'm back at it and hope to start a trend in our house! I usually plan for the week and then shop what we need based on that plan. And who doesn't love knowing what's for supper each night!

Monday: BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches & Green Beans

Tuesday: Chicken Bundles, Roasted Potatoes, & Salad

Wednesday: Bubble Pizza & Salad

Thursday: French Dip Cupcakes & Fruit

Friday Lunch: Mama out of town, kiddos @ Auntie's house, & Daddy's working

I'm Baaack!

Hello...

Is this thing on??

Well almost 2 years later I'm FINALLY deciding to get back to blogging! We have some exciting changes coming up for our family {more on that later} and want to make sure I get back to having a "journal"! Also I attended a blogging conference right here in my hometown last weekend that reminded me how much I enjoy blogging!

If you're still here, drop a comment and let me know! More to come :)

March Randomness

If you are on Instagram  you can get a more up to date of our daily happenings in the Bangert family! Follow me here #bangertfameveryday2014

One Saturday afternoon Avery kept going over to Adelyn’s doll highchair and trying to climb on it so I decided to see if he fit. Adelyn was pretty excited ‘cause she had her own real life doll to feed!

This was Avery’s response when I asked him if he wanted more…such a sweet boy!

Adelyn was sharing her pasta with Avery, such a good big sissy!

Who needs matching PJs?!? ha!

We had a Sunday afternoon play date with our friends Chris & Sarah. Their kids are about the same ages as Adelyn & Avery and they always have a good time!

March 13th was first real nice day of 2014 and we couldn’t wait to get outside and play & swing!

I’ve mentioned before, but Avery loves to play in the bathroom. Mostly he loves to find mama’s stash of tampons and carry them around! Silly boy!

Kyle usually works one evening a week. Those evenings we will usually go for supper so the kids can see Daddy since he usually gets home after they are in bed. Avery is always very entertained with all the people while we are there, always a good time!

The kids enjoyed their toys from our good friends Mark & Kathy. They recently went on a cruise to Mexico and were very sweet to bring back some gifts for us!

Adelyn loves to play “catch”, but you have to sit with your feet together and she usually ends up rolling the ball! Avery even got in on the fun this time! Love hearing my kiddos giggle with their Daddy!

Grandpa Steve was on babysitting duty one weekend when Wendi & Hayden were back. Avery was already in bed when we left for the evening, but I think Adelyn & Hayden kept him on his toes! Ha!
