This is where we live
So, we've relocated to Presidio. It's in the high Chihuahuan desert of Texas. It's west, way west. And south, WAY south. And hot. We've already seen 106. One evening my car's temperature reading was 112, but luckily after a drive to the post office it cooled to 99. But it's really beautiful here. Well, not so much the town itself. It's dusty and run down and the community is very poor (median income is $19K). But the surrounding mountains are breathtaking. The pictures hardly capture what you see in person!

Will and Jack would like to introduce you to the newest member of our family.

Calling all SAHMs
Calling all stay-at-home moms.
I'm beginning my career as a full time stay at home mommy next week. I can't tell you how excited I am! I've been working full time, 3 days at the office and 2 days from home, since Will was born. But now the time has (finally) come to relocate and reunite this family. So I will, with mixed emotions, embark on this new and exciting journey.
Now, here's where you ladies come in. I am by nature, to the very core of my cells, a planner. Even if I don't follow the plan, I need to know that I have one. I would so very much appreciate it if any of you would share your at-home expertise. The first month of my stay-at-home mommyness will be consumed with cleaning, packing, moving, and unpacking. But after that...then what? What are your daily routines, cleaning schedules, fun and educational activities? I could especially use "at home" activity ideas since we'll be living in an very remote area where we'll have to make our own fun. I have in my mind all of these things that I think will need to be done and things I'd like to do, but I don't know how practical any of it really is. We've been without a daddy in our house since June and aside from a set bedtime, for mother's sanity, anything resembling a routine has flown out the window. So, I'm looking for anything that can help bring structure back into our lives for fear I'll lose my head or turn into a slob that never gets anything done.
Entertaining any and all suggestions and thanks for your help!
