Why do I do the things I do

Sometimes I wonder why I do some of the things I do. Is it for or for others? I usually try to do things for others. It's just the way I am. I try to help when I can or give someone a boost if needed. Baking is one way I can do that. Cookies and cakes can just cheer you up like nothing else can!
But lately I find I am doing more things for myself. Crafting....making things I want for the house or for myself. I made a wreath this winter I've been doing small projects just for me. But I always though of baking as something I did for others until I took this picture of Wes baking with me. Then I realized as much he gets out of the yummy dessert and time with me I am getting so much more! The memories of baking with this perfect little man I will keep in my heart for the rest of my life! Such a blessing!!

Addicted to pinning

Every so often I become addicted to something...usually a new hobby or snack item.  Never the good for me things like water and exercise.  Currently I addicted to Pinterest.  Seriously it is getting out of hand.  I am on it all the time.  I think my husband is sick of it at times but thankful I am just looking at ideas instead of trying to do them.  I take that back I think he likes the baking and cooking ideas I get from there.  Right now I am actually making something I found on there....Chocolate Chip Banana bread.  If it turns out I will post pics of it and a link but if it doesnt we will just ignore it and pretend it never happened. 

Back to pinterest though.  I have found so many things there.  Decorating ideas, recipes, crafts with the kids, beauty and cool nail tips.  I am loving this and am so happy not to have to scroll through all my bookmarks that I never got around to organzing into folders.  Plus its fun and lets be nosey into other peoples lives.  My son is particularly loving it because he found the perfect Indiana Jones bedroom theme that he is begging daily for us to do.

So I guess in short addicts can be good and bad....I'm still secretly hoping an addiction to sit ups might happen for me.  It would make the baking and eating I am doing even itself out.

Start at the very beginning....

a very good place to start!  Everything has a beginning, a middle, and an end so this blog deserves one too.  I have been thinking for over a year that I needed to do this.  I have been using my facebook to show off my baking and crafting photos and as fun as that is sometimes I need to say more about the things I do and love.  Therefore the need and birth of this blog. 

A little about me.  I am a Christian with my eyes wide open to the world(easily put...love all people!) I am a busy Mom to three of the most amazing kids in the world.  I am a wife to the best man in the world and I love my life as a stay at home Mom.  I enjoy the little things and feel like I am pretty good at my job as I try to have fun with everything I do. 

Looking forward to this blog and sharing my life and passion for being a mom and homemaker....the job I know I was created to do!
