Mom on a Mission: Delaney's birth story
http://brandy-momonamission.blogspot.com/2012/04/delaneys-birth-story.html
April 23, 2012. Those of you who have read Jameson's birth story. Know that I went in to this pregnancy and delivery with an entirely different mindset. Shortly after we found out that we were expecting again we selected a new doctor. We spent a lot of time speaking with friends about their experiences and found a doctor who understood that childbirth was something where you needed to empower the mom, not take over. For my baby to choose when to come? I had really reached an acceptance. Because my water ...

January 31, 2012. I love grocery store sales. I normally don't do a ton of grocery shopping the week in between Shaun's paychecks.

Mom on a Mission: My little trooper
http://brandy-momonamission.blogspot.com/2012/05/my-little-trooper.html
May 9, 2012. On Monday Jameson had his tonsils and adenoids taken out as well as got ear tubes. Beforehand I did all the prep I can (because that is what I do when I am anxious about something). I stocked up on ice cream, pudding, popsicles and yogurt. I also picked up a few books for Jameson at consignment sale. So he would have a special treat when we were waiting for his surgery since I knew he would be nervous. Then came the heartbreaking part. When I turned the corner to the recovery area, I cou...

Mom on a Mission: Lorelei's Birth Story
http://brandy-momonamission.blogspot.com/2013/02/loreleis-birth-story_24.html
February 24, 2013. Oh, Lorelei. I have a feeling I will be saying these words many times in the future. That is, if Lorelei continues to live life the way she lived her birth! And even attempted accupressure using youTube. We were ready to meet our little girl! Were my legs especially hairy? I realize this story wasn't necessary to the storyline of the birth, but it was pretty darned funny so I had to share). Jumping forward to after I was all in the bed (blah! Nope, I didn't miss anything- the time span...

Mom on a Mission: Goal Making Monday: The week that was eaten by Little Britches
http://brandy-momonamission.blogspot.com/2012/09/goal-making-monday-week-that-was-eaten.html
September 17, 2012. Goal Making Monday: The week that was eaten by Little Britches. This week didn't really go as planned. I really thought that tagging wouldn't take a whole lot longer and that I could get it out of the way and move on with the week. This just wasn't the case- it took me an entire day and a half! Now, this was definitely not committed tagging as I was also having to keep two children alive during the day as well. Find out the baby’s gender Monday night, go to dinner to celebrate! We did...

Was putting out the 21 Days to a More Disciplined Life, I knew I was sold! However, I can tell you that the book is well written and easy to follow. I love that she gave multiple r...

Mom on a Mission: Share the Wealth: Online shopping tips!
http://brandy-momonamission.blogspot.com/2012/11/sharing-wealth-online-shopping-tips.html
November 29, 2012. Share the Wealth: Online shopping tips! I recently realized that I have become quite the online shopper! Almost all of my Christmas shopping this year has been done online. I rarely make any decent sized purchase without first checking if there is a better deal online. Now, I am certainly not expert, but as I was giving my mom some tips this morning about shopping online, I realized that I do know a few little tricks that others may or may not be aware of that I could share! If you are...

October 1, 2012. Goals for the week: How I did in the week of a vacation! I had such a good week! It could possibly have to do with the fact that half of the week's goals were met by having fun with my family, but I'll take a win where I can get it! Continue to work on getting to bed by 10 am and be up by 7 am. I did such a great job at this! Have house cleaned up prior to leaving for vacation. Get family packed up prior to leaving. Stay within budget while on vacation. We actually came home with money L...
