Getting Everything Organized

brandyellen — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 10:03:10 +0000

It is official as I stated before my ex husband and I are back together, we are truly happy and things are more different than I could ever imagined. Our family is back, we are 100% better than ever and we plan to MOVE, yes I said MOVE. We are on the look out for a larger place and actually hope to become renters instead of home owners. Why are we moving? Well for starters when I first purchase the home we are living in, I was a full time out of home working single mother of one. It was a 2 bedroom home we only added a “sort of” room onto the house so that my daughter could have a room to herself after having two new brothers born …

Change Of The Times

brandyellen — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 12:33:42 +0000

Every year I watch as my children get older and older. We run into family or long time friends that we’ve lost touch with in the stores and the first response is usually “wow so and so is getting so big” or “wow is that the baby?” Yes they are and yes that is the “baby”, not so much of a baby anymore now is he?! I don’t know about you but it is very annoying to me that while I was growing up weekends were spent sleeping over my grandmother’s house while I played with my Grampa when Gram worked and when Gram was home I hung out with her too! I was very close to my grandmother and my then Grampa. Since then my Gram and Grampa have …

Silly Sponsorship Request

brandyellen — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 17:33:27 +0000

This is an older post being featured from my Archives as part of my celebration of ONE YEAR OF BLOGGING … As I surf the web and chat with my friends, I find that so many are seeking sponsorships for various conferences and bloggy get togethers, I thought I would get in on the requests … no I am not looking to go to any conferences at least not at this moment in time … I am seeking personal sponsorship, two sponsorships to be exact, that will better my home living and better my family. Warning: If you don’t have an open sense of humor you may not find this funny. Although I am not always a joking type of writer, I am going to give it a whirrl cuz …

It’s About Time I Told You

brandyellen — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:36:47 +0000

There are already a few people who know about what I am going to tell you today, some of those are MomDot Forum Friends, MommaDJane and Stephanie but for those who do not know and haven’t been friends with me for the past year, talking on the phone, interacting with me in person, etc then this may come to a shock to you. I have told my family and I have told my friends, now it’s time for me to tell my readers who I would also like to think of as “virtual friends”, or a virtual “support group”. Here is what I need to tell you; my husband and I are going through a separation. This was a much thought out decision and I have tried to pull anything …

Selfish Thoughts

brandyellen — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 12:09:19 +0000

Lately I have been stressed right out, and it’s been hard to focus on my happy. After living with my husband for nearly four years and becoming a Mom not once but three times in 7 years I realized I have lost little pieces of me along the way. Don’t get me wrong, I feel as a person I have grown; my whole outlook to life and how I handle situations has changed for the positive, but “who I am” has been missing for a while. Without getting into details meant only for a best friend forever, there is a lot going on here in my house. From my husband not being able to find a job to me having to pick up the financial slack it’s been a pretty …

Oh To Have More Space

brandyellen — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 04:02:02 +0000

I decided to look up my home address, well because it’s always good to check what’s in the WWW about you and what I found was my home value has risen according to one website anyways and another thing I found was my square footage of this small home I bought four years ago. Do you know the square footage of our home is only 1024?? Yes, it’s true! We also live in a two bedroom home with 1 bathroom …. 3 kids + 2 adults + 2 bedrooms = Mommy & Daddy Share their room! The reality is last Summer we created an additional bedroom but it’s only 18′ x 6′ … yeah and that’s what my oldest calls her room. It works for her, she has happy to …
