Bringing It Back

Sandra, over at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom had blogged about going back to the beginning of her blog, and getting back to what she loved so much about herself and the blog.  It sounded like a good idea, and that's what I intend to do as well.  I want to blog about what's important to me, and what my family is up to.

I also want to get back into projects with my kids.  I'm planning on bringing back Watercolor Wednesdays and Finger paint Fridays.  I would like to work on the alphabet with both Ben and Sydney.  We'll probably do a lot of the projects we've already done, but they are new to Sydney and will make sense in a different way to Ben than they did before.  I'm hoping to spend more time either at the park or at the pool.  I'd love to get the kids going to play dates as well as "field trips" like the zoo, the river, the capital, etc.

I'm going to make my husband sit down with me and help put together a page I can be proud of.  I'm a little bit stupid when it comes to things like this, but he's not.  I've asked him before but he doesn't usually have time.  Truth is, I've asked him for help once or twice, when I thought of it and he was busy but I forgot to bring it up again.  Hopefully my blog will get a makeover and show a little more about me and not just something generic.

I love this blog and put a lot into it in the past, but I have seemed to abandon it and am only here for updates of the past week, not really the day to day.  I'm going to try to make my blog a part of my routine.  I want this to be something I can look back on and it bring back memories and joy.  Someday, I would like it to be something I'd be proud of turning into a book like Sandra is doing with hers now.

I'm happy with who I have become, my family, my home, my life, and where my life is going.


Please bear with me and keep coming back.  I've hopefully got a lot of fun stuff coming up.

Liz I'm SO thrilled to see that you are going back to blogging full time too.

I feel like I got lost along the way, I stopped blogging, I turned to facebook because it was more an immediate reaction/reward. But the truth is that I just don't like it, it's too much drama, it's too much backstabbing and bullying and people attacking each other.

I'm so glad that I made the decision and felt pulled back into my blog, I want to look back one day and be able to show my kids that I kept a good record of their lives. As it is, there's a chunk missing due to the time I was not blogging as much and was on facebook. It bothers me :(

Anyway, I'll be visiting you daily :)

My thoughts exactly. I want to be able to go back to my kids and show them their lives. Sort of like a scrapbook with less mess. Haha! And the best thing is, when I photograph the crafts and step by step of making them, maybe I won't feel like I have to keep every piece of art they make. It adds up quickly.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Happy Homemaker Monday

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
