3 This is what...

tired looks like:

I think it's true when people say that when your child turns three, they don't want to take naps anymore. Well we've experienced that in our home this week. But as we drove back from grocery shopping this evening, this is what we found in our back seat. A very tired little girl!!

Here's the last two layouts I've done. :)




Hope you continue to have a wonderful weekend! :)

5 Oh...

it's been one of those days. All around just blah. Since Bryleigh's been sick, we've been in the house "quarantined" most of the week. And I'm going crazy!

Here she is just doing a little relaxing:


It was my baby sisters birthday today!! Happy b-day Ashley! :) Love you!

Have a great weekend! :)

7 Thank you so much!

I really, really appreciate all of your kind words. I really had no idea that so many of you read my blog! I appreciate the time it takes to leave me a comment. I appreciate all your kind words about my weight loss, my kids and the Lilypad gig. That means a lot to me!! So thank you!!

And the winner of my little drawing is:

Yay Linds!! She's my friend from high school and I've also seen a little dabbling in the digi scrapping stuff...so I'll send you the links to my new kit! :)

Here's my photo for the day, a pretty clock hanging in my dining room area. It doesn't tell time (yet!! i have to fix that) but I still love my clock! :) I picked it up at that store Real Deals that I was telling you about earlier...and it was 50% off...so I think I paid a whole $18 for it! :) I love great deals!


Have a wonderful day!!

43 Well I'm back again!

With some layouts to show you and the photo of the day!! I just have to say, in the last two weeks I have lost 9 lbs. It's been exciting!! I've been working on watching my portions and I'm starting aerobics/kickboxing/pilates next week! I've always struggled with my weight so to see some improvements is so great!! This morning I went to weigh myself and Jeremy followed me in there. As soon as I left the scale, I turned around and found this. I just had to snap the photo and thought it was funny what these kids mimic!!

Here's the last 2 layouts I've been able to do. This one's with my new kit!!



I also wanted to say that I had some other great news when Amy Martin asked me to be on the Lilypad Creative Team!! I am so excited about this since The Lilypad has been one of my favorite stores since they opened!! I'm so honored to work with the amazing talent there!

So I want to see how many people actually read my blog. So leave a comment here and I'll choose a random number and that person will win my new kit!! Even if you already have the kit or don't digi scrapbook, leave me a comment anyway...sometimes it's just nice to know that people are reading my boring life! :) Have a great evening!

4 Ooops forgot...

to blog yesterday! It ended up being a relaxing day...Bryleigh woke up with a horrible cough and it continues today, so we had a pajama day yesterday. Guess what I got in the mail??


Jaime made scarves for my kids and they are so, so cute!!! Thanks girl!! :)

Last night I got to go to an activity for my ward and relax and finish my unfinished projects. I worked on another Babushka and some other things. It was so nice to get out and spend some time with other adults! And I got to be creative too!

Oh...I wanted to tell you about my friends Jeff and Jen. They are in the process of adopting, so I wanted to put it out there that if you know any moms that are looking to place their babies, this is the most amazing family I've ever met. They are the sweetest people you could meet!! Go check out their information HERE and their blog HERE.

Wanted to tell you that I have a new product up for sale at LDD!! It's a new kit!! :) A mix of whimsy and fun!!


And take a look at what my amazing CT did with it!!


Have a wonderful Wednesday!!

5 Hello Monday!

How was everyone's weekend?? Ours was good! We worked on the potty training a lot and Bryleigh is doing so good!! She hasn't had an accidents at all during the day! We are still working on nap times and night time. She went to preschool this morning and didn't have an accident there either! It's been so nice and pretty easy for me!

I got some time to scrap this weekend:





Bryleigh got her "bushka" last night!! This time it only took me an hour to do! So fun and easy and I love how hers turned out! And I can't wait to make more!




Here's Jeremy this morning taking his nap. I finally got a photo of him sleeping, he's such a light sleeper I never could capture this moment, but I did today!!

And here's my week in review! Got the idea to make Lanne's templates into a layout from Tracie on the Memory Makers blog!! Thanks girl! :)


And....my Grungy Polkas are on sale. Yep, pick these up for only $1.95!!


Have a great Monday! :)

6 My babushka and bathing beauty...

Whew, try and say that five times fast! :) Here it is, Sunday afternoon and I'm reflecting on the fun times we had this weekend. Friday night I got some time to myself and this is what I did:


That's my Babushka pillow! Isn't she cute?? I bought the pattern from the Red Velvet Kit Club. Now let me tell you, I am by no means a seamstress. I think I have only sewn straight lines in my life. But this pillow was SO easy! Cutting out the fabric and everything only took me two hours tops. And it was so fun to do! I was supposed to make this for Bryleigh, but I liked it so much it's sitting in my living room now. And yes, I have plans to put Bryleigh's babushka together tonight. On a side note...it's been pretty funny teaching Bryleigh the word babushka! :) I'll post photos of hers when I finish it!

Next up is my bathing beauty, isn't she so pretty??


Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend! :)
