Family

There is much going on today and I just want to share some pics of the people I love.


These are the kids, youngest to oldest and the last one is my daughter and mom. My husband is like big foot when the camera is out...running fast in the other direction, so you won't be seeing him anytime soon...lol.

The Comeback

So, its February and I have not kept my promise to keep up the blog, but really this time I am planning a comeback. I am going to catch up with some things that have been going on. Lets start with Christmas....


The two youngest, one giving himself away as a present and my mom. It was a small quiet Christmas and it was great.

Catch Up

So there is some catching up I need to do. I have vowed to really put some time into this blog for the new year...and I am going to get an early start beginning with today. Since my last post we have had halloween, thanksgiving, and 3 birthdays. This is a pair of mittens and scarf that I made for my craft groups holiday party white elephant game. I used this tutorial for the mittens.

Boy Am I Hungry

I normally cook dinner every night and tonight was no different. Pork Loin, Green Beans, and Parmasean Rice. I just think it tastes better when it looks pretty. What do you think?

De Ja Vu

I know I have been gone for a while, but when you decide to go back to school, keep a full time job, and have 4 kids, life is a little complicated. I am just starting to get into the swing of managing it all soooooo I am back. I dont know how much crafting will be going on but we'll see.

I'd like to start my return with my thrifty find of the week.

Eames House of Cards...yeahhh babbby...All there and in excellent condition, and did you catch that price...thats 1.99. I am happy.

Movie Monday...

I know, I know it's Tuesday, but thats better than wednesday, so here it goes.....

I must admit that I have seen this movie more than once, but I like it. I think it speaks to alot of topics, relationships, motherhood, poverty. When you have children at a young age and then your relationship falls apart sometimes there is a struggle between being a mother and wanting to still be young. Sometimes this situation can leave you in poverty and you can run away or you can deal with it. I think watching this will teach us alot of different lessons including responsibility and that more is sometimes just more-not quality.

Movie Monday on errr Wednesday

So the excitement of the 4th has totally made me forget about movie Monday, so we will have it today Wednesday instead....

I really liked this movie and I must admit the first time I saw the preview I was like um "no". I got over it and watched it anyway. It really made me appreciate my family and the time we spend with each other. It also made me appreciate my heritage just that much more.
