I am super sorry!

Things are getting really hectic around here! I have so many projects going on right now. Getting our seasonal clothes together, Halloween, starting Adelle's birthday, Christmas, School, Photography (reminder Christmas is coming fast!!! let me know if you want pictures to do Christmas Cards! memoriesbymim.blogspot.com or email memoriesbymim@gmail.com. Sorry for the plug)

I have also found this amazing website!!! Polyvore! Why is this website so amazing you ask?

I am a designer at heart, through and through. Clothes, Spaces, Scrapbook pages, blogs (ok I'm not about to start charging for my services, but hey I could be a lot worse :) Unfortunately I have never been able to draw very well. I probably could take a class and improve, but alas I have three small children and they take up a lot of my time. Go figure? :) (Someday perhaps) Anyway so the beautiful part of Polyvore to me is that I don't have to sketch a single stroke and i still get a feel of what things will look like. (I do ok in my head. but really who's perfect at that? Sometimes you REALLY have to just SEE it!)

Anyway look at the Family Room I have created! It's bright and cheery and I don't know if I will ever carry it out because I'm afraid it might be too loud, but you know I'm bright and cheery! I've done more muted and darker (like what my mom's house looks like) and it is not me.

Anyway there is a bigger reason why I'm posting this other than I'm totally excited about it! You can only get pictures from the internet so I've been posting pictures of my own on my blog importing them into Polyvore and then deleting them (hence the random post Ariella) So if you ever come across random pictures of decor or clothing on my blog it's just me importing pics to Polyvore!

Eight years ago today...

Scott proposed to me! (and I don't have any good pictures of us right now, so that's all you get :)

bleh!

so i'm sure all (three) of you (that read my blog:) are really bored with my lame posts as of late, but tonight will be another.

I'm going to bed!

how cute is she?

Mama's little cook!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'm so excited!!!!!!!! I have two really cool things that I want to post about, but I'm not going to tonight because I need pictures. So I will leave you in suspense!!!

She speaks the truth...

I love my Lilly. She is always making me laugh. I think she especially "shows off" when I'm with Ariella. (I don't know how she does it but whenever I'm with Ariella, Lilly is even funnier than when it's just our family. I guess "Miss" Ariella brings out the wit in her. Moving on to the story now)

We were eating lunch and Lilly says (looking from Ariella to me):

Lilly: "You both are the same beautiful"

Ariella: "Thank you, Lilly"

Lilly: "And you both have zits"

I know right?

We'll try that again...

I don't know what happened with the last video, but here it is again. It should work this time.

I have a new favorite...

happy song.

For years "Dreams" by the Cranberries has been my "happy song" You know that song that gets you right *here* and you feel your body change when you hear it and all of a sudden there is a smile on your face and you reflect how precious and awesome life is! (Maybe I'm weird, but music gets to me.) I have a few of these songs, but this one is one of my new "happy songs" and I love it!!!!!!!!!

Scott showed this song to me the other day and we have been listening to it non-stop!

So listen, enjoy and please share:

What is your "happy song"?

Okay just kidding...

there was something Lilly said a couple of days ago that was HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (well I thought it was) We were driving and this pot-gut/ground hog/thing was running across the road. I swerved to miss it, but the guy behind me didn't have the same courtesy to the stupid animal and hit it killing, I hope, instantly. Lilly witnessing the animal running across the road, mommy's crazy driving asked if the dumb thing was alright. I told her the man behind us hit it and she said

"well he should have looked both ways"

So I'm lame...

I really don't feel like posting today so I don't think I will. Good night everyone!

what's this lilly?

"a jewel." ...and she was close. a diamond is a jewel.

So I'm a big nerd!!!

As of late I have been on the prowl for awesome photographers to inspire me And I have found some great one's and there is one that is one of my heroes! (I have a few.) Laci Davis Photography. Anyway she's like super popular and she took the time to answer my question personally! She gave me some great advice on what I should do with my pictures and take a look at the results!
