My photo
Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

a 2011 goal & no school monday & a good question



Menu planning.
Spending less.
Stop forgetting my list.
A toothbrush was on my list. I forgot the list.  I used to my husband's toothbrush.
Don't judge me.



Today  there is no school.
: The girls and I are going to break out our brand new Singer Talent Sewing Machine, Modge Podge, and some pretty paper to attempt this-

I've been lacking in the crafting department for about 6 years.
My little girls are begging for time with mom, and crafts,
so this mom is going to sew today.
I don't sew so we'll see.

One question.
Did you know there are a gazillion ideas on the web?
I haven't really looked.
Holy Moly.
It was 5:00 am.
I was on my lap top in bed.
I totally got sucked into the www.

Now I want to be a crafty mama, a photo mama,
a cleaning mama, a baking mama, a blog mama,
an etsy mama, an organized mama, a decorating mama, a trendy mama.

The internet is a great tool, but good grief.
Can anything else in the world make a girl feel like being a mama is not enough?

  1. Good luck with the sewing! I don't sew either. I'm right there with you on the www and how sometimes it inspires, but sometimes it makes you feel like you will never measure up.

  2. Agreed. I am not crafty. I am not that great of a photographer. I am definitely not stylish. I'm not that great of a cook, either. But I'm a really good mom because I play with Gloria and take her places and it exhausts me. So I guess that's the best I can do. If I get a meal on the table, that's awesome. If the meal tastes good, then I'm pretty proud.

    Probably the #1 reason I am not more crafty is because it costs money for supplies. Same thing on the fashion, and I don't know how to shop for clothes.

    The thing I know how to do is teach high school English. All this new mommy stuff is a big learning curve, and there have been tons of tears involved--both tears of sadness and of joy.
