Upcoming Projects

                                               Bonjour!  

Mommy's little helper

There's been so much I've been wanting to do around the house since we've moved in March. I almost don't want to do much because I have no idea when we'll be moving again. Maxx has been trying to talk to a Sergent about getting us PCS'd to FL. It's a maybe/maybe not situation right now. It all depends if there's a spot for him there or not. If so, we'll only be 2 hours (or less) from home. That would be sa-weettt! So basically, I don't want to do too much and pick up and move in a month. 

Here's a few current ideas and short term goals floating around that I find myself writing on post-its, dry/erase boards, random sheets of loose leaf paper, and my notebooks to not forget... It's a nasty little habit of mine. I'll be posting a sort of Bucket List here pretty soon.


  • Make a "built in" style desk (we actually just built one but want a different one already, haha) 
  • Make a "Family wall/section" with all our family photos
  • Make a "Military wall" for all Maxx's awards/certificates
  • Make a Shadow Box for the Military Wall.
  • Make my Herb Garden
  • Print pictures for (and finish!) Noelle's baby book/scrapbook 
  • Make a few new headbands
  • Make some necklaces, Kara Style
  • Finish reading the New Testament 
 I hope everyone keep these small (sometimes silly) goals in touch everyday. I do think that sometimes it can get me frustrated when I try and do so many things at once and I feel too over-whelmed. Keep it for fun! I say it's time to bust out those hot glue guns. Maybe add stud it with some rhinestones while your at it (hmm.. maybe I'll do that today!) Oh, I also need to make my mama a Birthday Card. 

Question: When does it become cheap rather than crafty to make your own cards? I would so rather hand make a card than buy one. It's so much fun and I think it shows you took time out to do something for them. Maybe it's just me, though.

Real quick: I just finished workout 5! My first full week of working out!! Yayyy! I might even workout once this weekend, I am really afraid of falling off the wagon if I take the whole weekend off. I did post a "Cheat" snack that looks soooo yummy on my Twitter

Song love of the day: Broken Social Scene... 7/4 Shoreline

  1. I love the Military Wall idea. Jeremy has a man cave now and I am never in that room but it bothers me because it's a big blank canvas in there. I've been meaning to get into contact with some of his old platoon members to copy their photos. I think it's important to keep those. I helped Jeremy make a shadow box for his father and I LOVED IT. It makes me so proud to see it. I hope yall get to Florida. I WOULD LOVE to visit you guys! Much love!
