11 days until Abby turns 1. I can’t even tell you what I was doing a year ago at this time… probably studying for my Psych class or preparing for another check up with my OB. I know that I wasn’t expecting my second born to be gracing us with her presence in such a short amount of time… both in days and the length of time it actually took to birth her.
Now that most of the snow has been melting and there are only a few inches left of what once used to be 3 foot high drifts next to the house, I thought I would remember the blizzard of 2011 with a little video of Noah scooting down one of the snow “mountains” by the house… by the way… those snow mountains still exist and will probably still be here in April since they were well over 6 feet high!
I really wanted to write about something fresh, new and well… earth shattering (yeah right!!), but there will be none of that today. No instead I’m taking a teeny tiny break from what I’ve been doing since late last Thursday… which is to say that for the few minutes it’s going to take me to write this I will not be wiping any noses… or putting Vaseline under said noses… or looking for a new “bwoogie cwoff” (Noah translation: boogie cloth).

Oh my goodness, is it Thursday already? Where has this week flown to?! I can’t believe that tomorrow is Friday. I’ve been keeping myself pretty busy these past few days. Last weekend Abby and I drove down to my moms and met up with my sisters so that we could go dress shopping for my mothers upcoming wedding. Dress shopping is not my thing at all. I am such a practical shopper. I don’t go to the mall just for fun – I go with a purpose… though I have been known to go there with the kids in the winter so that Noah can get his run and play on at the indoor playground.
So far I’ve been doing well with many of the things that I set out to get done and change this year. I have (mostly) been keeping up with my plan to DDC (decrapify, declutter and clean). I have been doing well in my quest to lose 15 pounds in 15 weeks (more on that later) and I am 4 out of 5 in my goal to do at least 1 craft a week.

Remember how I made the fabric rosettes for week 3 of my weekly craft? Well… a few days later, some of those rosettes, a tube of E6000 and 2 painted Ikea mirrors got a little better acquainted. 😉
Well, not really… I have the song stuck in my head though and thought maybe, just maybe if I type part of the lyrics I’ll get it out of my head… I’ll keep you posted 😉
So while Ray is playing a new game he bought on his laptop, I am snuggled with a blanket and my laptop on the couch opposite him… headphones on… listening to Corrine Bailey Rae and Norah Jones on Pandora. This is so different from what Saturday evenings used to be prior to having children…

Another week has passed and another craft has been completed. I was inspired to make this weeks craft after seeing this tutorial linked on Ucreate. I just happened to have everything I needed to make them at home already, so I was ready to go.

I’ve been admiring the fabric rosettes that can be found on any number of craft/home blogs these past few months and finally took the time to make some myself. I have a few items in the house that could use that finishing touch, and I think that a few of these will do it. They’re pretty quick to make, which is nice because I can make 1 or 2 quickly while the kids are eating. =)
