I'm BACK.... & This Weeks Pinterest LOVES #19

First of all HELLO! I am totally back

I know it was like I fell off the face of the planet well not really just the blog world

I have missed it and all of you so much

For those of you who don't know where I have been 

I have been student teaching from Jan 9th-April 20th

And I was soooo busy

I don't know how all the working moms do it 

I was exhausted some of that was being pregnant and having a toddler 

I graduated with a bachelors degree from SUU in Physical Education and Health Education

Back in May of 2009 

Then things got crazy we got preggers, we moved from Cedar to Salt Lake and 

then we had our little Maddux

And all you mom's will understand as much as I wanted to 

go back and get my teaching license I did not want to leave my baby 

I know I am a baby 

Well I finally did it I finished my student teaching

(Post all about my student teaching adventure coming soon)

But to sum it all up I was terrified at the beginning but ended up LOVING it

It was so hard to be away from Maddux and am so glad to be done so 

I get can back into my SAHM life and the blogging world and friends

I have one more test to take (PRAXIS PLT 7-12) tomorrow

Then after that (if I pass-Wish me luck) I will be a license teacher!

Wohoo

I am so proud of Myself!

Now onto the BLOG

Like I said I am so happy to be back and to be at creating and crafting again

I have so many bedroom, organizing, and baby ideas that I need to get started

This is gonna be a fun crafty summer :)

Being gone for three months I felt like I needed a bit of a FRESH start

So I decided it was time to give my blog a make over 

It was feeling a little frumpy and needed a little freshening up and spring cleaning 

I did it myself and am not good at computer design so I hope it looks ok

I probably should have hired someone to save me some time and stress

but I really love it and am kinda happy I did it myself 

 So what do you think? Do you like it?

Doesn't it just feel so clean?

I have always wanted a fabric ottoman but they can be so expensive
This is a great solution to that and then you can customize the look
to whatever you want and whatever fits your personality and home
I need to keep my eye out for a coffee table to cover

I adore this headboard
I have been thinking up the same thing for our bedroom
And it would be the same color or white we will see
I think I even have an old door I can use for this project
now just for some painting time, distressing and molding
Yup it would look perfect in our room

Ok so I believe I have put this on my pinterest loves before
But I am trying to give myself the motivation to finish my Anthropologie knock off
Bedding I started it and have the first and second steps all done
All I have left is sewing all the knotted squares together and then making it into
a Duvet cover I just need to finish it
And I will feel so accomplished when I do
Stay tuned for a post when I get mine all done
It will be very exciting :)

Do they have mint skinny jeans in maternity?
I wish I was able to wear my regular jeans until the end with Maddux
But baby boy H is sitting much much lower so there will be
No regular pants for me
But when I do have this sweet baby H in my arms
and the weight comes off
I am so getting me some mint skinny jeans
