I want to become the kind of Mommy who can cook, sew, create, entertain, and take care of my sweet baby in every sense of the word.

Creating this blog is just one way to hold myself accountable to make the time to create, cook, organize, better myself, and craft, and each day I will document it and post it for the world to see.

I am not your typical Mommy... I nurse in public * My baby does NOT sleep through the night * I can't fit back into my pre-pregnancy jeans (My baby is almost a year) * I make all of my own baby food * I get bored easily (and so does my baby) * I am doing it ALL om my own - My husband owns and operates a restaurant, so he works 7 days a week and is gone about 14 hours a day. ~also a key point when remembering that I don't know how to cook~... he's the chef, so he's either cooking for me, or bringing home food from the restaurant

First Day

I am soooo excited to be starting a Blog.  At first I was like, "When am I going to have the time?  I have a 10 month old baby boy - who by the way took 7 steps in a row today-  and I don't even have time to shower, let alone blog."  But once I really committed, I decided that I do have time, and will only need about 30 minutes a day for this blog and I will delete 30 minutes of Facebook time, which I normally do after Baby Ting goes to bed.

So after a few days of thoughts about how I want to become more creative, and cook home made meals for my family, and after really being inspired by Pinterest... Baby Ting fell asleep early tonight (6:30) so I knew tonight was the night to START!  I am PUMPED! 

So today is Wednesday, so My weeks of fun will always begin on Wednesdays and end on Tuesdays.  P.S. Wednesday is also my cleaning day... Today, per my hubby's request, I did the bathrooms = )

Week 1: Crafty Week
Since it is the week of Halloween, I thought this would be perfect.  A year from now when I AM Super Mom, I will be posting about making Baby Ting's costume, but since this is just day one (literally) I tried something much simpler.

Home Made Puffy Paint:
I had to start simple, and it doesn't get much simpler than this:
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup water
10 drops of food coloring

I wanted to do this so I could Puffy Paint a pumpkin -instead of carving-
I will carve when the baby is older, plus this will be fun to put in the scene for all of the fun pictures I want to take of my little Halloween sweetie.
FYI: Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday!
