This is going to be a rather long post....but I needed to get the memories posted! Amidst an emergency room visit and sickness, our Spring Break Vacation was actually a time of relaxation and peace. I really enjoyed the time of leisure. I mostly stayed away from the computer. We watched movies, we played the Wii, we did puzzles, I made meals for the family, and we just spent quality time together. It's just nice to get away from normal life from time to time. It all kind of started on Wednesday, April 4th when the kids and I used different flavors of Kool-Aid to dye our Easter Eggs. It was so fun and I can't wait to try new flavors out next year. Before we dyed the eggs, the kids used crayons to draw designs on the eggs. We found out that the blue Kool-aid turned out the best! The ... [Read More]

Life 365 | Week 21
Monday, May 17, 2010 Beth's last week of school started today. Afterwards, she played in her little "puzzle corner" for quite awhile so I could keep working on my Good EatZ Kit. She is getting so good at doing puzzles and we just have a puzzle going all the time! She loves it! Tuesday, May 18, 2010 Another day of trying to get my kit done. It just isn't happening and I'm just not going to have it done on time - but I think its turning out pretty good. No picture today since I just worked all day on the computer, but I do have some of the kit to share. The kids have been playing pretty well together so I am getting some done - just not enough. Wednesday, May 19, 2010 I took a break from designing today to go participate in JJ's School Spring Run-off - the only school fundraiser they ... [Read More]
Life 365 | Week 19
Monday, May 3, 2010 Today was my chosen day to do the A DAY IN MY LIFE Challenge, so my notepad and my computer were used all day. It was a crazy day with lots of cleaning, store assistant duties, being with the kids and more. A big highlight of the day for my kids was the great weather outside. They spent the whole afternoon (after school) outside doing lots of things including blowing bubbles. Beth loves the Spring flowers that are popping up! Tuesday, May 4, 2010 Yesterday was so exhausting that I needed to have a more laid back day today. I accomplished a few things, but mostly spent the day being lazy and Beth and I completed another puzzle! I love that Beth loves to do puzzles! Wednesday, May 5, 2010 Happy Cinco de Mayo! We had bean, rice, and cheese quesadillas for dinner and ... [Read More]
Life 365 | Week 12
Monday, March 15, 2010 I spent the day lounging in my motel room with take-out food, hot shower, a book, and my computer. I did a lot of thinking, resting and playing. It was wonderful. Meanwhile, Joey and the kids got to go to a play based off the children's book, "If you give a Mouse a Cookie." The kids LOVED it. They also went to school and then enjoyed an evening with Joey. I'm so grateful for such a great family! Tuesday, March 16, 2010 I came home at 5am. I was ready to be with my family. It was a busy day with laundry and cleaning up the house from being away. Wednesday, March 17, 2010 Happy St. Patrick's Day. I discovered last night that I didn't have anything Green for Beth to wear. The only thing we had was a yellow stripe shirt that did have some green in it. So we went ... [Read More]
