Oh the possibilities

We are at a cross roads right now...job wise. If Mario gets a job at the local factory we'd have so much more time together...not a much money. We'd be going from him working 60 hours a week 6 days (10:30-10, with a2 hour break) to him working a normal 8 hours a day 5 days a week. his hours could be as great as 5-1! He'd have weekend and every afternoon/night off! The main reason we aren't jumping at that idea is because the money isn't great.

Lots to think about.

On another note we got a great desk on a deck! A craigslist ad for an 18 by 12 ft no care needed deck with rails! Mario is headed out to Go pick it up soon! Super excited!

Also, just saw THE coolest idea for or counter tops ever! More to come on those later!

Here's my no poo inspiration.

No 'Poo To You, Too!!! | Crunchy Betty
I just came across her blog the other day and love her sense of true being.  And being a new home owner I am going to be searching for ways to save $$$$ so far I didn't have to buy new shampoo after the move. Mine ran out right before we left the moldy house.
Any money saving ideas are welcomed! I will try home made detergent again, this time I'm going to invest in an essential oil to help the clothes smell nice after washing.
Any other tips/ideas let me know.

Long time no post

So its been a long time since my last post. But loud had been going on. We moved into the rental house we lived in before we left for Mexico, it had mold now though (and a landlord who doesn't seem to care). So seeing as we have a 2 month old and a 3.5 yr old we decided for health purposes we couldn't continue to live there.
So a month and one week after moving into that house we bought out first place.  Its a nice trailer in a 'community' just north of town. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and definitely in our price range.  Now we get to make it our own. So I'm sure I will have quite a few posts about remodeling and decorating. 
On Sunday I started a new adventure...no shampoo. I'm suppose to have beautiful clean hair and after just 3 weeks...5 days in and I am seeing ticket hair for sure.  If this works I will be searching for ways to transfer the kids and hubby to no shampoo as well.
My future goals for the blog are to
1) keep up with it
2) post during feedings
3) be semi sorta organized about the posts
4) keep them decently short...some longer but I'm writing on my phone so lets aim for short/er
5) I'm really going to aim for humorous posts...whether on purpose or because of my Swype typing. I.e. the title is"long time no post"...it almost was "long time no pussy"..see aren't you glad I caught that?
