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?

hormonal right now but it gets me all teary eyed
Thinking about my two boys together
And My baby Maddux being big enough to be a
big brother to
baby Holden soon
I would love to make one similar for Maddux's room

Pretty Pretty lamp
My lamps in my bedroom are
screaming for a makeover
Maybe I will do these amazing
burlap ruffles
Spray painting curtains!
Yup that's right she spray painted the yellow stripes on them
Check out how she
did it
She has a great tutorial for you
I think I will be using this tutorial
very soon
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
Did you know you can print
huge pictures like this for Cheap
Go to your local office supply store and ask for an
engineers print
attach it to a foam board and look how adorable it looks
Perfect for the center of a
family gallery wall
or for a newborn photo in your babies
nursery

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
Pinned
