Playing catch up!

It has been a while since my last post. I guess being a stay at home mom with three young children will do that to you!

Here's a wrap up since I last blogged…Christmas has come and gone in our house. We had a great time with friends and family. The New Year has come and gone as well. Right in between the Holidays I had hurt my neck and was inoperable for about almost a week and a half. That was not fun. I was in tons of pain and totally stressed about not being able to do anything around the house. My wonderful husband pitched in as always and helped tremendously with everything. I am so thankful that God blessed me with this man. In a way, hurting my neck was even a blessing. Jared told me he really appreciates me even more when I am not able to do all the things I usually do. Sometimes I wonder if anyone notices that I cleaned the TV screen from all those tiny little hand prints, sanitized the door handles, magic erased the black little scuffs from the walls or inside the fridge (Yes…I am that mom & yes it really does work extremely well actually!), etc but I guess they would notice if it was not done and anyway who cares. The REAL boss sees it all and that's all I really need. It does help to keep telling myself that though while I am doing those mundane tasks that keep me busy and from doing things I would personally rather be doing. After the neck thing, the kids and I were sick with various strains of colds. It has been QUITE a year so far. Is it 2012 yet?! LOL

I can definitely say that I have loved and maybe even become a little bit obsessed with the craft blogs. There is just a couple on my side bar if you love finding some new crafty inspiration. I do have to say these women are genius! I love it. I love it when someone is so creative like this and is kind enough to share how they did it so you can do it, too! Especially when it's a thrifty craft. If I can keep it cheap but still make something pretty…how awesome is that?! I think it's great and I have definitely been taking advantage of being able to get great ideas from these wonderful blog sites and I hope you do, too.

I think I might make a list of projects I would like to accomplish in this year. I only stay on task if I have a list of some sort that I can cross off as I go. That will be super helpful. There are many things I want to do around here and things I want to organize. I guess maybe everyone gets that itch when the new year hits. That is my goal within the next week or so to try and compile some sort of list to be able to follow. We'll see how that goes! (o:

    I hope you have a blessed day! †
