Smokey Mountains VACATION

This passed week my family went on an amazing vacation. I will be the first to admit I whined and complained like a spoiled brat to my husband that it just didn't sound fun...and I wanted a beach..and the list went on and on. His family have started a tradition of going there when he was a child so I couldn't wrap my head around why in the world have these people not had enough of seeing wilderness and mountains!! Well let me tell you I ate my words! It is the most beautiful & peaceful yet fun & exciting place for a family to go~ I recommend it now to everyone with children or even without! We rented a huge one story cabin and to name a few activities..took the kids to the Ripley's Aquarium, rode ATVs throughout the mountains, had an "old time photo" taken, rode horses through the mountains,went to a 5 & under amusement park perfect for my babies, and lots n lots of shopping! O and the best part my hubby took me on a date in a private helicopter ride through the mountains wow I was just cheesin the whole time here's some photo's enjoy!! AND GO VISIT GATLINBURG/PIGEON FORGE TN!!! <3

crafty-less

HA ! I can't help but to laugh when I look at my computer picture files of crafts I'd like to attempt or make my own version for my kids rooms, or clothes, or even house decor! WOW there really is over 1000 saved no joke! I have a bag full of baby clothes for each child I plan to cut into squares and quilt together..a cabinet full of bow making items, and empty canvases I bought when I had planned to paint something spectacular! Ah yes and a huge display of fabrics I loved but need to learn how to sew before I can make clothes etc! lol
At least I am not completely hopless I do take 1 day a month to do a scrapbooking marathon with friends from 9am-9pm but I usually keep at it till 1!~ haha...

How do you crafty mothers and well woman make time for doing them??!! Don't your children get into the mess??!! Will Someone let  me know! lol

 I am never good at setting goals and keeping them so lets just say..this weekend I am going to TRY to finish a project..just one...for now..Ill post as soon as its finished, or not lol!

But I have really really good excuses, a broken arm, 2 sick babies on going chaos for 2-3 weeks straight! Then came along vacations and a new puppy! Anyway I will get back to it and for now its under CONSTRUCTION I am a new me and need a blog face lift..fresh start!

Vegetarian?? Know about it??

So I have a silly confession. I am so grossed out by meat. Yet I am not a vegetarian. I gag almost every time I eat something besides turkey on a sandwich. Definitely would never eat off a bone, and sometimes even someone talking about or saying oh we're having or eating ground beef tonight disgust me. The names the fact that it comes from animals..I just don't understand it. So I am contemplating going vegetarian..I think it'll be hard..and I am disgusted by eggs so where can I get my basic protein in?? Any thoughts or comments???!!??

PS. My husband is obsessed with meat...can you have a vegetarian and a hunter in the same home??

One day late :)

He is not here, for he has risen..Just as he said.

Today reflect on the resurrection. Praise our King Jesus Christ- MY Lord and Savior!
