Working on a new logo for my Photography

Starting anew!

Fall is officially here! I like to make zucchini breads, banana breads and permeate the air with baking scents from scentsy like baked apple pie and sugar cookie. Yum! (beats the heck out of the smell of litter box for sure!)
My life has turned a complete 360 as my husband of almost 18 years filed for divorce in August. Now, single and dating again with children on the autism spectrum, I feel compelled to share my journey. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there starting over again with kids, but add a little more stress to the mix and we get a worn out, lonely mom who feels like a crazy teen again with child-like crushes and wooing over cute guys again. Weird, I know! Can you imagine your mom doing this while you were in school? Well, I have gone through that as well when my parents separated when I was in 6th grade too.
So, my journey began 6 months ago...

It's been a while since my last post. Just making and selling Christmas cards online right now.
 Just got my tree up yesterday which turned out pretty awesome! The kids put all of the ornaments on for me. I just had to put the lights on. It was pretty darn great! Here is Samantha putting the finishing touches on the tree. Unfortuately, our star broke in the box so we'll have to get a new one. lol

 

I had my 20th year high school reunion in July which was pretty fantastic!

 Me and my great friend Guy from high school

Goofing off at the reunion

 

 

In October, my step-sister, Rebecca married Dylan after dating for 5 years. It was a beautiful wedding and my dad walked her down the aisle.

 

I hope to post some crafts I've been doing lately soon.

And work is hectic right now. Working until midnight most nights makes me sleep during the day while the kids are in school. But oh well, I'm a night owl anyway. TTFN

Summer cleaning...begins?

I think the saying is Spring cleaning, but when you have kiddos in the house, it takes place at all times of the year. My craft room, for example is the epitomy of disaster. When in use, nothing ever gets put away properly. That is my fault, but I have 3 distractions running around. So it's that time of year again to put it back together again. My motivation? Having to take a picture of this horrible mess and post it for my friends to see. lol Here's about a year and a half ago what I would like for it to look like:http://sweetdreamsthatcome.blogspot.com/2011/01/atg-gun.html

So this IS what it looks like now:

June 29, 2012 Beautiful day!

Today was an awesome day! Started off with Samantha's last day of swimming lessons.


Gorgeous day, I might add. Then we came back home and bummed around for a couple hours. Then I went and picked up Nina and we went to the Uptown Shopping Center to do a bit of "Antiquing" as we call it. (It's not really that we are looking for antiques, it's just that we like older things and repurpose them.)
Oh! Best part...I went to DQ and we all had ice-cream!
