10 Random Facts About Me

1) Hubby and I were engaged 6 months after we met, and married 5 months later. We are still happy 8 years later.
2) Wham bammm, we had 3 kids in 4 years! I am wowed daily, and have nearly peed in my pants (thank you childbirth) more than once at the laughter they bring to my life.
3) I survive on 3 cups of coffee each day. I have added a cup with the birth of each child. I am addicted, and have no intentions of stopping any time soon.
4) I own only three pieces of makeup. One tube of mascara, foundation, and one tube of lipstick. I don't know how to use anything else, nor do I have the time. I am lucky to shower.
5) I started a baby hair accessory company when I was on pregnancy bedrest. It was meant to pass the boredom, but turned into a real business that I am very thankful for.
6) I love God, and strive to please Him in the way I live my life, raise my kids, and use my time. I fail miserably, but rest in His grace.
7) My schooling includes Biology, religion, and nursing degrees. I worked as a pediatric ICU nurse for several years. Loved it, but I love staying at home with my kids even more. Besides, working with child trauma makes me a SUPER-paranoid mom.
8) Hubby and I have moved 8 times, in 8 years of marriage. The longest we have lived in a home is 18 months, and that was a 900 square foot house in California. I loved that house. I could hit every room with the vacuum without ever switching plugs. Surprisingly, we had 3 kids in this house!
9) When I was 2, I ate my baby sister's umbilical cord. Disgusting, I know. These are random facts, and that will be a story for another day...
10) I love to read, but it puts me to sleep. My college roommates and husband will testify to this. Same thing for movies. My husband thinks I am narcoleptic.

February/March Digital Scrapbook Share

I was so thrilled with how our professionally printed 2010 Family Yearbook turned out, I have continued in 2011. I got a little behind, but managed to catch up last week. I had a fun time with the layouts, and would love to hear which are your favorite pages! (If you read the pages, disregard my typo of “expecially”…I’ll have to fix that later!)

If you are unfamiliar with digital scrapbooking, and are interested, I put together a couple posts previously. Digital Scrapbooking, Getting Started and 15 Reasons I Switched To Digital Scrapbooking should be helpful in explaining why, how, and where I put these digital pages together.

Our kiddos come back from their grandparent’s house this afternoon! I am looking forward to having them back and enjoying the rest of Spring Break with them. However, I barely put a dent in the projects I hoped to accomplish, and I am not really sure where all my free time went.

I cleaned our house, and it stayed clean for 3 whole days!!
I slept in until 5:45-6 each day.
I got distracted by a great Land’s End sale, where I snatched some steals on kid clothes…and a $20 sleeping bag!
I spent two quite evenings with my husband.
I cleaned and organized my hair accessory studio.
I relaxed on our screened in porch, drinking my afternoon coffee while it stormed…until I started getting wet from the crazy rain.
I met a dear friend for breakfast, neither one of us with kids in tow.

Terribly uneventful, I know! That is okay though, this mama needed some down time! I hope you enjoyed the picture share. I will be back later this week with another favorite crockpot recipe! Have a great day!
