The Stegui House

So when we move into a house one of the first things our family needs is a place to set keys, sunglasses, and (if you're my husband) a place to hang your lanyard for work...because if said lanyard isn't hung by said keys then the husband forgets it and has to call his wife to bring it to him and that's always a fun time. You feel me? Let me back track a little. We just recently moved to Okinawa Japan which is typhoon alley. Yes, we went from tornado alley straight to typhoon alley. Most of the walls in our home on base are concrete and because of this it makes hanging some things a challenge. After racking my brain I ended up using an  Ikea spice rack  -see what I did there- and turned it upside down so that it created a shelf with the wooden bar on the bottom.

Hey guys! This is going to be my first blog post *insert super nervous face here* I've wanted to start a blog for years. Before kids, before social media was so huge, and before most people my age probably really knew what a blog was.  I just never did it because I didn't feel good enough or maybe it was fear...fear that no one would read it or that they would think it was silly, but now that I'm older and wiser my attitude is who cares!? Josh (my husband) encouraged me to do it for fun and as an outlet. So here I am trying to figure out how to start a blog! For those of you that don't know me personally, I am a stay at home mom to T H R E E little boys. It can be pretty exhausting at times, hence the need for a hobby ;) Our oldest is five and he will start kindergarten the beginning of September. Our youngest will be one at the end of august -cue the crying- and our sour patch of a middle child is a threenager! So as you can imagine there is never a dull moment around...
