Just a quick post.......

Here is my week 3 photo. I almost forgot to take it, so I quick snapped one on the fly. Of course I played with it in Picnik. I think I'm addicted to that site, it's like I can't just leave a photo alone anymore!! LOL And let me tell you, with all the gray roots I have going on right now, it's a GOOD thing for Picnik!!!! I really need to get some serious creativity for this project, instead of just these face shots!!! Be sure to check out the 52 Week Project and play along!! Just click on the link over here ------------>.

Not much else going on, busy week, and a birthday girl on Thursday!!! Who can believe that my baby has been ours for almost 5 years!!! I just can't imagine my life without her in it!!! I'm sure I'll be posting B-day photos after Thursday. Have a great rest of the week!!!

I finally picked my "One Little Word" for 2011!! A big thanks to my friend Shanna for inspiring me make a logo of my word. Now I really need to head over and sign up for the One Little Word online class, so I can see what they've got up their sleeve to get me MOTIVATED!!I chose MOTIVATE for so many reasons, I mean, it appears that I've lost all my motivation and I need to get it back!!!

I need to be motivated to be a better me, to be a better Mommy and a better wife. Not that I don't think I'm a pretty good me, Mommy and wife, but I know there are things I can do better, that I want to do better!! I WILL do better, I WILL be better.....my MOTIVATION will return!!!

Just got done playing with my 52 Week Project photo. I don't know if I will ever not play with my photo in Picnik, well, cause I just don't like photos of myself! But...maybe this project will help me get over it already!!! Anyhow, here it is: it's all in the eyes


Not much else going on here, didn't leave home ALL weekend, didn't even get out of my jammies this weekend, this cold is kicking my ass!! But now it's back to work, no time for laying around, lots to do this week!! Really looking forward to spending ALL day Saturday scrapping with some lovely ladies, maybe I'll even get some scrapping done!!!

Have a great week!!!

Happy New Year!!!


Happy New Year!!!

So here I am....hair all a mess, no make up....this is me most days!!! I've decided to join in on the 52 Week Project. I'm so not photogenic, and I don't like photos of myself, so this is going to be a major challenge for me, but I'm gonna try!! So here is week one, I figured why not start out with the real me. Being home doing daycare during the week, my hair is almost always up, I have no make up on, and I'm usually in sweats and a sweatshirt, or jeans and a sweatshirt. Maybe once a week I'll actually do something with myself. (yeah right)

I still haven't finished by December Daily album, of course. I have the photos, now I just need to print them. I am going to a crop on the 15th, and I'm hoping to have it done after that!! Wish me luck!!

Hope you all had the happiest of holidays, I know we sure did!! Christmas was amazing as always. How can it not be when you get to see everything through the eyes of 4 1/2 year old. Not to mention all of the time we get to spend with our family, just hanging out, playing games, being together. Lil was extremely spoiled, she got what she asked Santa for (a pink escalade, and a pink cross bow), not to mention all of the others (leapster, games, bitty baby, baby alive, glo doodle, polly pockets, littlest pet shop, camera, and the list goes on and on...)Yes, she's spoiled!!! We had to go through her room and take out toys and do some cleaning and rearranging to make room for all of her new stuff!!

Now we are back to school, and back to the grind of non holiday mode, and honestly I was ready!! Ready to go back to normal routines. Rob starts back to school next week, and we have loved having him home for 3 weeks. Looks like this semester he will only be gone one night a week instead of four. He decided to try an online course, so we'll see how that goes!!

On another note, Rob and I FINALLY have insurance again!!! We have been without insurance for ourselves for almost two years, and his company finally offered it to us!!! Talk about a load off of our minds!!! I just got to cancel Lil's insurance and put her on a policy with us now!!

Not much going on here, trying to get motivated to make some changes in my own life, but motivation is hard to come by lately!!! If you have any spare, please send it my way!!!

Wishing you all the best in 2011!!!!
