April Showers Bring May Flowers {Musings Pt. 1}

Wow!

It has been awhile~

 Rosie can now roll from her back to her tummy and push up. There have been several times I have laid her down to go to something real quick and when I came back she was in a totally different position. She grows more everyday!

I have some exiting news~We are moving into our own apartment next month and I can finally decorate it as a home! I cannot wait the suspense is killing me!

I have been pinning so many For The Home pics. I know the design will come together eventually. It will be a work in progress. I'm thinking earthy shabby chic with a retro/vintage vibe. Rosie will have her own room and I can decorate it will all her things, especially pictures and things I have made for her.

I am almost done with this semester at school. Then back to full time next year. My businesses are going good, starting slowly but making progress.
visit www.facebook.com/madebymaully and "like" it. Then you can see all the cool jewelry that I make!

I am also researching companies that I can be a consultant for, so that I can work from home more until my businesses kick off. I will be going to school a little longer than I had planned to get my Sustainability Certificate, a new program being offered next spring. I think I am going to be a Sustainability Coordinator or teacher as my backup career. I could be a substitute teacher too? I am still working out the kinks. I just want to do everything! I LOVE life SO much!

I've made two goals. 

`1. Post everyday

2. Comment on another blog everyday

I can DO IT!!

Anyway, this is just a short post as I am off to bed...

Goodnight lovelies!

Miss Maully's March Madness {Musings Pt. 3}

So I am 100% free from work this weekend which means that I will be working on my first few pieces of furniture. I went to check some out yesterday, but couldn't fit them in my car. So, I'll be going Friday evening or Saturday day. I am WAY to exited for my business to get its gears rolling! 

I will post pictures! But don't forget that you can follow Refab Rehab's news on Tumblr and check out videos on Refab Rehab's YouTube Channel.

Remember: baby steps!

Ok so on to my exiting news for the day!

My Izzy Bee pendant & necklace

I posted about Izzy Bee yesterday. 
{Speaking of bees, please pay your regrets to Izzy Bee's family. Izzy was a 9 month old baby girl that grew her angel wings earlier this month due to a rare form of mitochondrial disease. You can visit her Facebook Page here and read about her and her family. RIP Izzy, you will be forever missed! I totally bawled when I read about Izzy's passing. I had been following her on Facebook for awhile and it took me by surprise. I am still so sad because I felt like I got to know her. I ordered the Izzy Bee pendant off her FB page and still need to order the Team Izzy bracelets and T-shirt. I miss her and a so blessed to have a healthy and happy baby.}

I did not order the chain online, I just bought the pendant and today I went out and bought a chain. I will wear it always.

I applied to be an Admin on a Facebook Page last night and I found out early this morning that I was accepted! Visit Mommies&Daddies-Corner on Facebook and "like" it please! This is a really exiting opportunity for me. When I told my mother about it her response was, "so you are working but not getting paid?" Oh mother, you SO do not understand the technology of today's world. My momma does not even HAVE a Facebook, though I keep trying to get her to get one so she can see all of the pictures of Rosie that I post and like all my FB Pages. 

I woke up at 5 am this morning with Jake holding his palm to his head. The poor baby boy {yes I call him baby boy. I also call my cat baby boy lol} had a NASTY injury that he sustained at work last night. Something had been improperly placed in the trailer he was unloading and it fell and hit him on the head! So Momma Maully played Nurse Maully and helped him clean it up. Thankfully he is OK! I took Rosetta to Grandma's house this morning before work so he could rest today. Here is a picture of the cut.

&& here are just some fun pics to end my post with 

Rosetta grabbing her toes, no wonder her nickname is Toes!

My belated birthday present from Jake. Journey Through  Mountains & Rivers at the Nelson.

Kansas City's 41st St. Patrick's Day Parade & cold as hell! We stayed less than a half an hour. We will try again next year when Rosetta can enjoy it more!


Miss Maully's Momma Musings is celebrating it's first follower! Thanks Kendra! Check out her blog: Don't you know that you are a shooting star. It is all about feminism! I already LOVE her posts!

Goodnight my lovelies! Sweet dreams and blessings to all! Let me know what you think of March Madness Pt 3 in the comments below!

Onto happier news, I have started my business {FINALLY} in order to have it ready for the Grand Opening of KCKCC Made. I am SO exited. I have purchased my power sander and tools to start. Now I just need the furniture! 

Power Sander!

Supplies!

Swatch Booklets!

I am developing my business website as well and it should be ready around the 5th of April.

Rosetta got her 4 month shots on Monday. My poor baby girl had a rough time that night and Tuesday. She got a low grade fever and just didn't seem her usual smiley self. =(

What reactions have your LO's had to their vaccines?

OH! I am FINALLY getting my Family Binder together! I WILL post pictures! 

&& I completed a Project!

Rosie's Rose Shadow Box~ The roses from her baby shower & hospital, and my roses from the hospital as well.

I'm on Spring Break from school this week. It't not a big change because I only take one online class this semester. But the little break is AWESOME!

I am just so BLESSED every single day. I love my baby girl more than anything in this whole world. I love my boyfriend SO SO SO much. He is a fantastic father! I have a wonderful family & extended family. I love my momma and am so grateful to have her by my side. 

She has always been there for me and always will be.

I love my city.

{Kansas City born and raised && I wouldn't have it any other way}

I count my blessings and LOVE my life. 

Yes, I have my bad days. I just had one today.

But the positives totally outweigh the negatives and I would't want my life any other way. I have met so many different people and had so many interesting and learning experiences. 

Life has a lot in store for me. The future is sparkling with possibilities. 

LOVE LIFE & LIFE WILL LOVE YOU BACK

What do you love about your life? I would love to listen to your stories!!

Miss Maully's March Madness {Musings}

It's been a crazy few weeks! I kept putting off the next post for the Featured Fans Interview because the last one took me so long to edit! {Was that an excuse?...JUST SAY NO!}

I'll do a LIFE update and then post the next Featured Fans Interview Q's this weekend. Check back then for more mommy time!

With it being tax season and all, I have been able to check MANY things off my to-do list leaving me feeling very accomplished. However, usually when I cross one off, two more pop up. 

Currently, my most important things to get done are as follows:

1. Get my business products together by the end of the month. This involves buying a few pieces of furniture and up-cycling them to sell in my store, Refab Rehab. Well actually, the items will be available for sale in my college's bookstore for new thing they are doing where students can get their businesses started. I am SO exited! =)

2. Get my business website up and running and order some business cards, but before that I have to re-design my logo... that's like 3 things isn't it?

{It's all about the business right now!} & Rosie of course!

3. I'm on the lookout for a Nanny position. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want a job where I can take Rosetta with me to work and not leave her at home with her extremely tired daddy! {Remember: He works nights and goes to bed shortly before I leave for work, watching Rosie all day with little to NO sleep!}

4. Hopping on the Frugal Living bandwagon. My goal is to cut our spending down by A LOT by DIY-ing everyday items. Making our own hand soap, shampoo, body wash and conditioner. 

I am also working on Meal Planning, couponing, shopping thrifty, freelance work, composing the Family Binder {Blog Series is still in progress}, working on my business, webpage, Made by Maully products, my blog, my FB pages, reading, cleaning, working, school, crafts, book club, dieting & exercising...and more. I mean, I love being busy and all but DAMN I am one busy lady! I love it though. Baby steps scha-mecks. 

“Being busy is better than being bored. Bored left a long time ago. Busy is always around for me. ” 
― Tabitha Robin

I always place Rosetta first. That is one of the reason's why I am so busy, is that her care and well-being supersedes any semi-important to somewhat important to Momma's free time important. 

I definitely got off track. Anyway, the business is the most important thing right now. Hopefully I will be picking up the furniture this weekend and starting to up-cycle! I can't wait! Anywhoo...my business website is:

www.refabrehab.com

...and it is under construction because I have to have it looking perfect before I can publish it!

Here are some pics to end the post with. Enjoy your evening ladies!
