So for my new years Resolution, I decided that I need more Me time. I am a busy mom of four beautiful children, thus the need for more Me time. So in an effort to do this, I came up with Fantastic Fridays. I am going to take Friday Off from house chores, work, and kid duties (as much as I can). I am planning on doing something that I love, that makes me happy, and that I do not get to do enough of, and blogging about it.

A little catch up.............


First signs of Spring!



So, Spring suddenly came and my life became very busy!
My husband began coaching T-ball, for my son's team,
Managing four kids and going to work, and school.
Needless to say, I kind of got wrapped up in the daily
cycles of life as a "Soccer/Career/Student/Mother/Wife".
I have still tried to maintain doing something for myself on Fridays,
I have not been able to keep up on it with pictures, so I will be posting
what I did manage to capture, here in the next couple of weeks.

Wall Art - Week Eight




In my living room, I have two windows that are different sizes and on two walls, and on the other two walls there are door ways that are two different sizes. Having blank spaces of wall was driving me crazy, so instead of totally going crazy, I rearranged everything, and had wall space that needed something. With the new arrangement the wall art could be symmetrical, on either side of the small window. And with out having pictures to hang I improvised. The boxes were very old and wooden, they were left in our house when we bought it. I thought they were cool and possible useful, so they have been kicking around for about three years. Now they have a use, and are great to look at.

Our First Thaw! - Week six


So I actually got to take a walk by myself!
It was Fantastic!
It was a beautiful afternoon, and a whopping 40 degrees out!
I actually was only wearing a hoody, instead of my big jacket.


I like to take pictures and try to do it from
different vantage points, I love the sun here
peeking through the trees.

This is the mirror image in the puddle on the sidewalk.

Thank you's - week five

Hand made thank you cards!

The reason for the thank you cards is......


that I had a baby in December, and many people have
been very generous in giving me things for her,
so in return I am sending thank you cards.
Making them was the fantastic part for me. I love
to be creative with the things that I have,
and make beautiful things.
The paper is scrapbook paper hand me downs from
my mom and sister who are CRAZY Scrappin Ladies,
I am an amateur compared to them, so they give
me supplies that they have not used.

Shopping! - Week four


Boots and jeans, what more could a girl want?


So you know those girls with the skinny legs that are able to
wear really cute tall boots, all winter? I am not one of them,
I do love the look of them though. So I try them on,
and they never fit, because I have really muscular calves,
and have had them for my whole life, but I continue
to dream. Then I found these, and I love them, and they fit,
because they are short! So Finally I have a cute pair of
boots, I have been wanting a pair with this kind of toe,
for a loooooong time. And as my mother says, I had to
buy them to keep the horders from getting them, because
they were a great deal, originally $70 but paid $20.
