Why do I Blog?

Life is so fast & furious with 3 young children, working from home, ect that I fear I will forget the lovely details of my girls' precious childhood.

My main motivation for blogging is to capture the every day moments...so I don't forget them before I have a chance to scrapbook. Sharing with you is just an added bonus. Keeping this blog has helped me get the photos off my camera's memory card and label/organize them on my laptop. It is the BEST tool I have for scrapbooking. I haven't ever been able to keep a journal, but this I can do. I don't pretend to have anything interesting to say. In fact I'm sure this little blog is boring to you, but to me it is priceless!

4 I did my "Honey-do"!



I am NOT a home decorator. I really WANT to be, but I have a hard time deciding what to get and an even harder time PAYING money. So, although we built this home over 6 years ago, I only have about 3 things hung on my walls. LAME!

One thing I have hung up was a small shelf in my bathroom (see pic on right). I did it in a hurry years ago & just tapped in two small NAILS...no studs. It held good for a while, but Allie pulled it down a few months ago. I've been HOUNDING Nate to hang it up right with sheet rock thing-e's & screws, but he's been too busy. Finally today I decided to TACKLE the job myself. I found all the supplies & tools in the garage. So easy!

While I was in the mood I also hung up my great Tipan Trading shelf (see at top) I bought LAST SPRING! I've been debating for a year where to put it...DOUBLE LAME! I finally decided on my room, since I love it so much. I am quite proud of my job. I used the lazer level, measuring tape, hammer, and drill. I even got it perfect on the first try! It is level AND the perfect height. Go ME!!!

Sare, you've always been the handyman of the family. You did always put together my 'assembly required' Christmas toys.
