Mother's Day confession

I realize there are people out there that don't like Mother's Day or Father's Day for what ever reason those people have. I respect their opinion (as long as they aren't my husband or children.)

Some moms are so wonderful, humble and awesome they don't expect anything and wouldn't talk about Mother's Day or even think about getting recognition.

Well, shoot! I'm not one of those awesome moms. I want Mother's Day. Call me crazy, but to me its like a second Birthday only I get to share it with other moms. I'm not so much a fan of my Birthday because it IS all about me, but a day all about me that is shared with other moms having a day all about them is much more up my alley.

I just read this article at lilsugar that has inspired my selfish side to let lose a bit. I don't hint to my hubby what I want just for the record. I like surprises so hinting would make it to easy. Just for the record, I'm a hypocrite. I don't normally like presents but from Hubby I do. I love presents from Hubby. So anyway, here is what I want for Mother's Day (shameless I know).

Like Jen, I want a whole spa day.
I want to go to the beach with Hubby and Captain Wiggles.
Hubby to take me clothes shopping. I love it when he goes with me.
To be surprised with a visit from my mom and sisters and their kids.

Oh. Well, now that I'm thinking of things, thats it. Thats all I want. I already go to the beach with my family. I just saw my sisters, Mom, and all the kiddoes a few weeks ago though no time is every enough. So new clothes and a spa day. Mmmh well, that isn't original. Any woman on any given day wants that.

Anyway, I'm just thankful to be able to participate period in Mother's Day. We are thinking about Baby #2 and it reminds me how hard it was to get to #1 which is actually #3 for the record.

Speaking up Captain Wiggles, I just put away her high chair today. There are now three chairs at the table. She did very good with her own little plate in her booster seat. I now REALLY OFFICIALLY have a toddler. She repeats everything I do and say and takes me reading her Nemo book very seriously.

Downloading pictures tonight. Should have some up for tomorrow. Fun Fun

My second greatest creation!

I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

A New Side Table Arrangement and Jewelery Give Away

Image
I did not think through planning blog posts on certain days when I had a Beach Trip planned. Shortly before we arrived at our rented beach house for the Labor Day Weekend, the owners cut off the Internet service. Bummer. Yes, I could have gone to the Dunkin' Doughnuts and gotten free Wi - Fi but that would have meant being pulled away from this cutie. Miss Wiggles does not like the bright sun (she is a fair skinned red head so I suppose its only natural) so she loved loved loved her sunglasses. Never once did she try to pull them off or attempted to touch them. I think 'cause she sees me where mine, she just knew. In the DIY blogging world, there have been so many neat table arrangements, and arranging every where else from bed sides, dressers , mantles, windows, etc. that I felt I should try my novice hand at artfully arranging my side table to the cozy leather chair in my library (aka, home office). So hear it is. I had this silver platter fit for a Thanksgiving Tur...
