Sick Baby

Oh ! My poor baby is sick right now. He has a very bad cold which he caught from me. He has lost his appetite, which scares me. Although he isn't feeling so good, you won't be able to know because he still a happy baby. I hope this cold goes away fast.

Oh the Smell of Laundry

(( MJ smelling how fresh the laundry is. ))

MJ and I are visiting my mom and dad in Norfolk this week. My mom did our laundry while we were taking a nap. How does my mom make our clothes smell so good? I use the same detergent and softener at our house as my mom, but our clothes just don't smell the same. I mean are clothes smell good, but not the same as when clothes are washed at my mom's house. It just has this wonderful aroma that lasts and lasts. I'll be home and I'll smell something of my son's clothes that my mom washed and be amazed that it could be over two weeks and still have that new laundry smell to it. I've asked her what she does differently and I've even watched her to double check that she's not doing anything extra. I guess I'll learn one day.... if she tells me.

To work or not to work ?

Wow! My first blog thanks to my cousin. At first, I wasn't sure if I wanted to do this because I thought that I wouldn't have anything to talk about, but I can think of a few things.

Currently, I am a stay-at-home mom caring for my nine month old son. I love everything about being a stay-at-home mom, but sometimes I feel like I want to have a job also. That's my problem. I want to be able to have some extra spending money because I am a shopaholic at heart, but can't spend that much because my husband and I are trying to save up for a house. There have been a lot of job opportunities that have come my way, but I just don't feel motivated to apply. I feel that if I get a job, I'm going to miss out on everything new my baby does or I'll be at work distracted thinking about my baby. How do working mothers do it ? So my cousin came up with this solution. She has heard that you can get paid for blogging. I was skeptical at first, but she's actually earning money now. I think this is the best solution so far since I'm not ready to leave my baby with a babysitter. I can't wait to start earning money !
