Being the step mom to three little monkeys is a bit overwhelming at times but it's always worth it. :)

Fri-Diary?
I have a couple ideas. I stole this one from Grace Helbig (who is hilarious, I seriously recommend buying her book...
Honestly...I listen to it in my car on Audible all the time.) -Fri-Diary which is basically a re-cap to what I have done all week.
-Recipe day, where I find a new recipe on Pinterest or something and try it out. I tell you what I think about it and Chris tells you what he thought of it. That would probably be on a Monday or a Wednesday, so if you guys come up with a fancy name for that, it would definitely help me out...
-DIY Day where I take the ridiculous things I've seen on Pinterest (the cheaper ones of course) and see if they actually work. Depending on the type of projects, it might eventually work it's way into a vlog. We'll see.
-Movie Recommendation Day, where I tell you about a movie I have seen and why I think you should see it. Simple enough. Yeah. :) They won't always be new movies, because I don't have the funds to see a new movie each week...unfortunately.
-Interviews with the kids/husband/step monster. Once I get a bigger following and people start asking more questions about us, then we can do this day...but I don't think we're ready for that yet.
-Any other recommendation you have for a special day. I will do them the same day each week. Every day is kinda getting really hard though.
So cast your votes now for how many days and which of these days I mentioned would be your favorite!
Thanks for reading guys and I'll see you soon :)

Twenty Questions
- How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? I would say mid to late 20's
- Which is worse, failing or never trying? Never trying. You never know how far you'll get until you try.
- If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? Wow...I never thought a list of questions on the internet would make me question my entire life...
- When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? I hope so. I say an awful lot...
- What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world? The way we think about each other. If everyone loved everyone, think of how different the world could be.
- If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich? Spending time with the ones I love, doing just about anything.
- Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing? I think I'm doing what I believe in.
- If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? I wouldn't live in Troy, MO...that's for sure.
- To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken? My ability to choose who I would marry, what I do for a job, who I choose to associate myself with.
- Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? Most times, doing the right things.
- You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do? Speak up. Whether it's family or friends, I'll let you know the truth.
- If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? Never be lazy, you can relax, but never be lazy. (That's a problem that I have...)
- Would you break the law to save a loved one? Yes, there's nothing more important than family.
- Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity? Yes.
- What’s something you know you do differently than most people? Shuffle cards, show love, make chili, play Minecraft, think, see, live.
- How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy? Everyone has a different personality. Believe it or not, killing makes some people happy. That would never make me happy. Love makes me happy, equality for everyone makes me happy, the same rights for everyone makes me happy. A lot of people think differently. Does that make them wrong? No. Does that make me wrong? No. It makes us different.
- What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What's holding you back? Go to Haiti. A couple more months and a couple hundred dollars.
- Are you holding onto something you need to let go of? A couple grudges. I've never been one to hold grudges but if you mess with my friends or family, you have to work REAL hard to get back on my good side.
- If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why? Africa or Italy. Africa to work with kids and Italy, because who wouldn't move to Italy?!
- Do you push the elevator button more than once? Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster? Yes and yes. I think it reads my thoughts through my fingers.

Wally World.
I don't know about you guys, but I could never go to WalMart again, and die a happy woman.
I have a list of pros and cons of going to WalMart.
Pros:
-Lots of lanes (not open, but they're there!)
-You can get certain things there that you can't get at Kroger, unfortunately.
-I can't think of anything else...
Cons:
-Some of the people that shop there act like they were raised by wolves.
-It's not Kroger.
-The parking lot is so ridiculously dangerous, I don't take the kids with me anymore.
-I've bought expired food from there, more than once.
-Like I said in the pros, there are 30 lanes and only 3 are open at all times.
-When I can't find something and I ask someone who works there, they look in the exact same spot that I was in. For 20 minutes before saying "hmm...I dunno."
-They already have Christmas music playing in the store -_-
-They say they have the lowest prices, I know as soon as I walk in Kroger that THAT is a lie.
-Their workers are never happy, never smiling. As soon as I walk in Kroger, I get a smile and a welcome.
-Maybe it's just me, but I wish I never had to go to WalMart ever again.
Please share your horrible WalMart experiences in the comments below or on Facebook, I would love to hear them! :)
I hope you guys have a wonderful day, and I'll see you soon :)
