I love my life, Im grateful for mornings like today, they make me so grateful for everything we have. Sophia wakes up around 8am today and greets me with a smile which is the best feeling ever and am so excited for tomorrow morning when I can be greeted that way again it makes my day and it makes me so grateful for everything we have. Sophia and I are able to enjoy some alone time before the sister awakes and the exciting but chaotic day begin :)Sophie goes down for a little morning snooze and my husband and I enjoyed some coffee in a quiet living room. Sarah is my sleepyhead she didnt wake up till a little after 9am. and greetings begin. Every morning we say good morning give hugs and ask how we slept. We exchange kisses and I love hearing her tell me how proud she is of herself still after about 3 months of having a big girl bed. she tells me "mommy I slept in my big girl bed!"

Today has no plans no agenda no "must do's" so we are just hanging out for a bit and maybe we will all head out for a little fun around town. 

Im gonna go make my princess pie Sarah us parents some breakfast and i shall blog later!

for me myself and I

So today is my birthday yay! I'm 28! I know a youngster still but i sure don't feel like it anymore which isn't a bad thing to me i just seem to have a lot of responsibilities these days and I am enjoying it very much and wouldn't trade it for the world! I love my 28yrs and with out the past and present I wouldn't have a future! so I am grateful for every min. I have a wonderful husband who works very hard to see that i am happy and taken care of and 2 beautiful baby girls that I love love love with all my heart and Thank God for letting me be their mommy!

OK! now on to my mission... my mission for this next year of my life to make sure I blog as much as i can and keep up on my activities and crafts and fun life :) I want to document as much as I can so i can share it with my family and friends and also be able to make memories to look back on with the kids :)

so now on to make some memories and back here to record them.

Handmade apron

I thought what a good way to start of the december season with a apron for baking with mommy! So here it is.... The best part about this apron is it cost me $1 to make!! I bought the cute towel from the good ol' 99c store! and I already had the buttons and ribbon :) It was so much fun to make I think alot of toddlers will be getting these for gifts this year! I cant wait to bake cookies with Sarah wearing this! 

creating gifts #1

Project for the princess...

So I found these awesome projects and had to start right away on the making  of them. My plan  is to create christmas presents for everyone this year, given we are low on the fund this year. But all for a good cause as my husband finished RN school!!!! yay! and it has been a long sacrifice but well worth every min. 

If you know Sarah she sure looks the part of a girly girl with her long flowing beautiful hair and her striking blue eyes. But she sure loves to play with her favorite things which are hotwheels and dinosaurs as a matter of fact her favorite dinosaur is a triceratops cause it sounds like her name. lol.... I love her so much and her ways of figuring things out.

SO this purse will be one of many things I will make her for christmas and she will probably end up caring her triceratops and her hotwheels in it instead of her makeup and jewelry.  Gotta love it! I love everything about this purse! I think I'll make some for gifts this year :) it took me prob about 1/2 hour to complete and all from scraps and stuff i had already in my craft closet. The handles are little girls bracelets and it really makes it so sweet looking. I hope she will enjoy it! 

now off to create some more stuff :)

A sick day

Who wouldn't want to be sick and in my care?....

Sarah seems to have come down with a cold but the only thing she seems to be suffering from is a fever and lots and lots of fun! I always collect crafts from the craft stores and then brake them out when we find ourselves at home. Todays prescription included a fun day of watching movies and cuddling, getting fed popcorn and milk oh and of course making a mask with paint and feather and puffs. Sarah is very proud of her mask! I love being a mommy and getting to care for my daughter when she is sick and in need of some distractions. I hope you like it... this crafts cost us about .50c to make :)

Today

Today was a busy day,

Started off with a nice breakfast with my family I made my husband and I eggs and Sarah Cece (cereal) it was a very happy start to our day!

Then off to a meeting for nurture! I'm sooooo excited it is starting again I can hardly wait! I am going to be a table leader this time and I'm so anxious and excited! I'm relying on God to show me how to be a great one!  The meeting went great and was very encouraging! It was great to meet the rest of the team who will be going on this adventure with me! These woman mean so much to me and have been a very important lifeline in my life! Without them I don't know if I would be as strong in my faith as I am to be totally honest! The best part was when I went to go get Sarah in her classroom she was soo happy and content it made me feel so confident that I was in the right place doing the right thing! when I peeked through the window she was holding hands with a little girl getting ready to play ring around the rosy! soooo stinking cute I wanted to cry! maybe cause I'm pregnant and everything makes me cry but mostly cause I knew she is and always has been in good hands at Rock Harbor I never have to worry! 

On our way home we made some stops along the way, first was to the blue icy store (as Sarah calls it) lol (Target) We got our usual and on our way to shop picked up some fun crafts in the $1 section! our favorite spot! We could spend all day there but we didn't. Our next stop was to trader Jose where I think they know us by name...lol... Sarah picked out her usual snacks fruit leathers and dried fruit. Yummy! and on our way our she is so happy to have been given stickers and balloon. she thinks its the best :) 

Today we got home after our outings and did a craft. This one is going to Mimi! she painted it all by herself (my supervision) and made a really cute birdhouse. or as Sarah calls it a Tweet house. (all animals are called after what sound they make) lol

Following painting was naptime and today was a very short one! only 1/2 hour!!! lol but she is in such a good mood I agreed to let her out. :)

She is back to painting and decided to do some watercoloring and this time body art as well....lol...

Lets just way today is a good day!

The Learning process...

Being a mommy is the Best and getting to be a stay at home mommy is even better! To be the one to comfort, hold and kiss my girl everyday all day is the best feeling ever! No Job could ever make me feel the way I feel. I am so determined to do the best job I can to bring up a well rounded well educated little girl.! So with that said...

Yesterday I made Sarah a little art/learning corner in her room designated only to crafts and learning! (we may be in small quarters but that wont stop me) I took a trip to the teacher store and picked up some decorations and a teaching preschool book filled with fun activities. Sarah is so proud of her little corner she couldn't wait till daddy got home to show it off! She was so proud of her first learning page we did together. These will be some of the days I will always remember! I feel very proud to be her mommy. At 2yrs old, Sarah knows her colors, shapes and she can count to 10! We spend our time at home practicing all this and working learning new shapes and making new projects. She also mastered the art of making a smiley face and most of them have a stick body and sometimes she decided to add arms and legs lol....too cute!  

This is my journal so I can look back years from now remembering the days when life was filled with all the firsts. :-) 

Im so blessed and happy to be a mom! And with #2 baby on the way I'm so excited to be able to this again with another child! Thank you God for the blessing of children, Thank you for trusting me with your treasure and thank you for loving me sooooo much that I get to raise children to know and love you!
