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

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

It is so cool to have a child during the holidays... it just brings back all of the magic you experienced as a kid!  This month has been soooo fun and it's only the 3rd!

New holiday tradition: The Polar Express in Williams, AZ.  So worth the money, and I totally got teary eyed when the train pulled into the station... just knowing that I was about to see Santa.  Here's a picture of Jaden meeting Santa for the first time!
That was last weekend...
This past week we got crafty and made our own ornaments...
So easy...
Salt Dough Ornaments
(makes 12 small hand prints)
4 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 1/2 cup water

  • Combine ingredients and knead dough for 15 to 20 minutes
  • Roll dough out and cut around hand or cut circles out for making hand imprints
  • Use a toothpick to etch in names/dates, and use a straw to make a hole for ribbon to hang on the tree.
  • Bake in the oven at 300 for 30 minutes
  • Allow to cool
  • Pant with a varnish to make the ornament last longer
  • allow to dry
  • decorate with any type of paint or glitter
