We are blessed

Well its been a few days since I posted last, I will say that I think I may have set up my challenge to take the kids pics every day to high, so I am going to revise my challenge to take as many pictures as possible of the kids!. Today was a long day but very rewarding, din't get home until 9 but helped out my team at work when they were coming to a road block. But I got to sing Lucas his bedtime songs so i was happy, Liam had already fallen asleep. Well once again i just want to tell all of you who blog about your life and crafts and all things thank you, you are so inspiring me to do so much.
I know that I am blessed and I am so very thankful for all that we have.


Projects on the list plastic bag wreath, lima bean wreath, felt flower clips and some more paper back wreaths, i am starting to see a pattern.

Its to darn hot!

Well it has been a crazy heat wave here on the right coast and it has been all about keeping cool. So we have been hanging out in the house way to much. We did have a great day today took the boys this morning to Lowes to do the project which was this cool UFO (i will post the pics soon) and then off to see Nana and Pop Pop. Then hung out for a bit, kids went into the hot tub which we turned the heater off on so now its like a giant kiddie pool. But I was getting antsy and needed to get out so we went Bowling! The boys had a blast and so did we.

Lucas was so tired he fell asleep in the car on the way home which was a good thing ( i know you know what I mean) then it was time to whip up some things for the church picnic tomorrow. BTW Ricardo is going to be playing the keyboard for the service.

Oh and before I forget I made a great wreath my first project that I have done from reading the sites. It was a paperback book wreath that looks so great, I can't wait to make some for my friends that are avid readers. Thanks to According to Kelly and Living for lindsay for the tutorial on the wreath.


And I have been trying to keep up with all the pictures so stay tuned.

Just cant get enough

I have to just say that I can't get enough of all of these terrific blogs that are out there. There are so many incredible women out there creating and living and loving life. I must be a part of this and I am going to be a part of this. So here to all of you out there!

Also I missed one day of pictures but got some great ones today and so did the kids. Keep an eye out for the posts.

Here we are it is 9:35 and all are in bed, I love this time of night. I have to say that this world of blogs is fascinating and I love all of the things I am discovering. I wanted to post some of the pictures that I have taken of the boys in the last 2 days. I think that this picture project is going to be great and is going to make a great book.

Well going to spend some time reading blogs and then off to bed because I have Jury Duty tomorrow. Looking forward to doing my part and getting some time to read Eat Love Pray.

Day 3

Good Morning World! Thats it for now.

Day 2

So here we are up and ready to go this morning..... Sort of what to do what to do today, do we tackle the garage or the basement? I am feeling basement because it is hot out there and teh faster I get the basement organized the faster I can get back to my crafting.

I have so many things in my head that I want to do but need the space to get them started so I think I have just made up my mind it is tackle the basement.

I have also come up with a very small bucket list for the balance of the summer.

1. Learn how to design my blog page
2. Take pictures of the Family everyday Good Bad and Indifferent
3.  Get creative!

Well this is my first post. I have decided to delve into the world of blogging. Why? I need an outlet and a place where I can talk whether or not anyone is listening. That does not matter! I am a mom of 2 great boys ages 5 and 6 and a wife to a great husband. I have named my blog An Amy called Mom because that is who I am I am MOM. But here I can be all I can be Mom, I can be Amy and I can be me. I want to take this new adventure of blogging and find some of the things that have been muddled up and lost in the throws of life. Through this journey I want to meet new people, get creative again, start to write and capture and enjoy life as it is intended. I want to put out a challenge for myself and I will capture it here in this blog. So here is my first challenge:

For the next 365 days you will take pictures of each member of the family to create a journal of our life in the next year!

I hope that many of you will find me and come along this journey that I am starting. I am so looking forward to learning how to blog, creating my blog page and finding out all sorts of new things!
