M. I. A.

It's been nearly a month since my last post.
I've been a little M.I.A. 
 
You've noticed.  
 I've been asked why I haven't been blogging.  
 
Well, truth is.  I'm tired.  Very tired.
We've been very busy.
 
Nothing with the house.
No new projects.
No new crafts.
 
Just family.
Spending lots of time as a family.
Appreciating each other.
Loving each other.
 
Vacations.
For the first time in 17 years, we took TWO!  TWO! 10 day vacations. 
In the same month!!
That leaves no room for anything else.

We got back from vacation just in time to scramble for the first day of school.

Bubba has gotten so good this summer.  Doing doubles with Momma!
 
School.
Who said summer could end so quickly?
Who said these beautiful babies of mine could grow up faster than ever imaginable?

Bubba: 3rd Grade
 
Baby Girl: 5th Grade
 
Firecracker: 7th Grade
Hotrod:  Junior - 11th Grade
Schedules.
Our schedules.
Their schedules.
Combining the schedules.
It is NUTS!
We are pulled in every direction.
Four children on four different traveling soccer teams.
 
Soccer.
All 4 are playing soccer.
 

Work.
I have a new work schedule.
6am- 2:30pm
I love it.
I love that I am home in the afternoons with the kids now.
We are working on a good rhythm.
Just greasing the wheel right now. 
 
I will be back.
I promise.
With all kinds of great projects.
Coming soon!
 
Stay tuned!

Hey Girl!

We've all seen the Ryan Gosling "Hey Girl" memes that are all over Pinterest.  Well, these Five Fabulous bloggers are hosting a "Hey Girl" link party;  View Along The Way , Decor and the Dog , Bliss Ranch , Two Twenty One and Domesic Imperfection .  This is a fun way to show some Valentine's Love for my main man.  Anyone, who knows The Mister and I, knows that we are in such love that we are inseparable.  I thought this would be easy, you know, since I've been with The Mister, for-ever.   But it was a little harder than I thought.  Trying to find the perfect picture to go with the perfect "Hey Girl" was a little tricky, too.  However, once I got into my groove, I could have done a gazillion more of these. How do you not fall in love, even more, with a man that falls asleep with their babies? Cheers baby!  You love me and you know it!   Happens every. Single. Time. I rent a movie Working on it, baby, working on it.

Wedding Memory Box

Image
My little sister, Emily , got married last October.   I had planned on making her this shadow box with a scrapbook page for a while and I needed to collect some things that were from before her wedding and from her wedding, so I could put them in the box.   I wanted simple but classy, because that's the way she and her husband are.  Simple and classy.     Her dress had a lot of beautiful lace on it.   Before the wedding I had asked my mom if she would be able to get some of the extra lace from Emily's dress and unfortunately, they didn't have any after the alterations.  Like always, my mother to the rescue, while she was unable to get any lace from the dress, she was able to get nearly identical lace from the fabric store, just for my scrapbook page.   I wrapped it around the page and glued it to the back of the card stock.  The plum sheer ribbon that is in the middle there, was the ribbon she used to tie up our bridesmaid's gift bags, on the day of the wed

Back to School....Back to Blogging

Image
Hey, hey, hey....I can not believe it's been nearly 5 months since my last post! 5 months!   That's forever.  Nearly 1/2 of this year.  So, far, that is the entire length of my employment at my new job.  See where I'm going?  Lots have happened in 5 months.  Unfortunately, just not lots around the  house, like I had been hoping for.  I think I had to glorious idea in my head that I would be able to get about 3-4 posts, consisting of projects, crafts, recipes, what have you, up on the blog each week.  I really did.  And then....reality hit. And it hit hard.    Blogging takes a lot of time.  It's enough that the projects take time, but then to add blogging to it.  Wow, was I ever delusional.  I don't blog for income, I blog for friends and family, mostly those out of town, to see what has been happening in and around our family.  So why put that stress on myself?  So, I stopped.  Plus, there is the fact that we both have full time jobs, it's not always in the
