Strawberry jam!!!!! Woohoo!!! I used to help my Grammy with it all the time and I loved the results! I have not made it on my own at all so it was fun. I miss having Grammy by my side and us almost eating more strawberries then using for the jam. I'm hoping this batch sets right and tastes just as good.
I have decided that I am going to try to do more of this and other such homemaker things. I have found that I have a passion for cooking and that I want to learn all sorts of new tricks. Granted in the last few years my husband has been doing most of the cooking but now that I'm a SAHM I am going to try to take over. I want to try something new with what we eat. I have several cook books, I need to use them.
I think I have decided that I'm going to try to post the new recipe I have tried and my review of the results! I don't want this to necessarily be a food blog but I can at least have one section like that.
My other project I am going to start is that I want to start a new crocheting project. I picked it up not to long ago and made a bag and just haven't done anything else. I need to get back into it. I am not sure at this point what I'm going to make but I'm sure I have something on my Pinterest board that will be interesting.
I don't want to over reach myself but I'm also going to add on trying to finish one book I'm interested in at least a month. I can't seem to read very far into a book each night so I think one book in one month is reasonable.
So, between raising my two beautiful girls, cooking, cleaning, crocheting and reading I think I will stay plenty busy! Plus this blog! I have found this to be a great outlet. Why keep a personal diary any more when I can share these thoughts with the world!
So enjoy!
People have said that as one door closes another one will open for you. I feel that way now since I am about to go through a whole new door in my life. This year has been full of changes, all of them good, some of them a little nerve wracking but looking forward to everything!
The first big change this year has been the addition of another beautiful little girl to our little family! Her name is Brielle Leigh-Ann and she came into our lives on April 14, 2013. She was three weeks early but if she is anything like her older sister she has a mind of her own and will do what she wants when she wants if she can get away with it! She certainly wanted to join the world earlier then she was meant to! She was born 8 lbs. 6 oz. and 18 inches long with a full head of dark beautiful brown hair.
Alec and I have always talked about wanting to raise our children in more of a small town/country setting. I now understand why my parents wanted to get out of the city. With adding another child to our family we have decided that it is a perfect time to make that change in our life. Second big change in our lives is that we are moving to Idaho in July. I have always loved the Sandpoint area, although I haven't always appreciated it, I am looking forward to moving back.
The third change in our lives is I am going to start the new adventure of being a stay at home mom. I love being a mother to my two girls! They are my world and I want to do for them what my Mom did for my siblings and me. As of today I am no longer employed by your standard nine to five job! My bosses are now Jetta and Brielle!
Don't get me wrong I am truly in charge but I feel like they are the bosses because I have to follow their lead as to what they need in their lives.
As this new chapter in my life begins and I move forward into a great future with my family I am going to try to keep this blog up. It maybe anything from updates on my family to crafts I may be doing. I am going to try to do something off my Pinterest boards as much as I can so you may see me blog about that. Who knows what is to come from this.
