A Walk Down Memory Lane

So a few weeks ago in Relief Society we were talking about our homes and ways we can improve the spirit and life in our homes. So I decided that I was going to start playing music more in my home. We put my IPOD station in the Living Room and started turning it on throughout the day. It’s been kind of interesting as I have been listening to these songs how they have brought back memories of times before. As I listened to N’sync and Backstreet Boys I think of the many times I was cleaning my room, and listening to those songs. When I listened to certain songs like those by the group B*Witched I think of the times I spend playing Barbies and make believe with my nieces. I listened to the EVITA sound track and thought of the many times that I would pretend that I was in the play, and as Evita…. (yes I was that lame…. I would listen to the whole sound track singing and acting out in our big dining room). I hear songs by Taylor Swift and think of my dear friend Laurie…. Rascal Flatts makes me think of the Concert I was able to go to with my best friends shortly before 2 of my good friends got married. There are songs that I hear that makes me think of ex-boyfriends, and songs that I hear that make me think of the Love of my Life. There are songs that remind me of the time my Niece and I drove to California and spent a week in Disneyland. 

So many songs and so many memories, Most of them good memories.

It is amazing to me the power that song has on your mind. I have seriously loved listening to these songs, and walking down memory lane. Some of these times I miss, and other I don’t but I am grateful for the experiences and the lessons that I learned. I love walking down memory lane….. I think I will do it more often!

Love,

What have I been up to?

I have been super busy lately, with sicknesses, cleaning, working on certain projects, and taking care of kids I have been super busy. Being a stay at home mom isn't as easy as it sounds..... I can't really post the projects here because some of them are for Christmas Presents. I can say that I am almost done with most of them. We have a lot of gifts under the tree and have almost all the gifts bought that need to be bought. It's been fun getting ready for Christmas this year. I am excited for Little Princess to experiance it think she will have tons of fun now that she understands it more.
I will share one project I did. I wanted to make sure that Little Princess had a Thanksgiving shirt, so I found one on pinterest and made it.... it turned out super cute. Here it is:

 

I found the pattern on pinterest and thought hey I can totally make that! I have another one that is a Christmas tree that I plan to make for Christmas time. I also have to make some PJ bottoms for the kids and shirts as well and those have to be done in 15 days..... I have a lot to do before Christmas. But I have a wonderful husband who supports me and so I can get them done. Anywho  got to go to bed.

Love,

Welcome!!!

So this blog is to serve two purposes.

The first is because I am making my family blog private I can let you know here that it is updated and then you can check it out. I love that I can make it so that only certain people can see your blogs, but I hate that if you want them to see it they have to check the blog and they don't get automatically updated so this will help the readers of my family blog know when I have updated my family blog.

The second is I am trying to be a better mother, since my Little Prince was born I still have been a good mom, but there is a lot that I need to improve on. We watch way to much tv and so I hope to do more activities with my Little Princess and Little Prince and watch less tv. Which when I do I will update the activities/crafts on here. We also eat out way to much, so I hope to cook more at home and when I do and find a good recipe I will post it so others can taste it as well. Then lastly since we moved into our house and the Little Prince was born my house has been lacking in organization in fact I have two rooms downstairs that are still full of boxes that need to be gone through and organized so as I am organizing my house and find good and inexpensive solutions I will post them on here.

This might seem boring to some but I figure if I have someone to report to I might do better at getting to my goal of being a homemade mom! Enjoy! Hope you check back often for new updates!
