Welcome!

Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

Catching up

I know it's half way through April, and I am supposed to check in every month for my New Year's Resolution. I have no excuse, and to be honest, I am having a very, very difficult time finding something new to do every month. February went amazingly well with doing something special with the kids every weekend. We had so much fun sliding, having sleepovers, going to movies, and just playing together. I am proud to say I am still doing that with the kids. Today the girls and I made Spiced Oatmeal Raisin cookies, and although I don't really care for oatmeal cookies, I have to say these were really, really, really good! The kids and I can't get enough of them!

For the month of March, I was a very busy Massage therapist, mommy, wife, and woman. My daughter was in her first play, I decorated my office...something I never did before because I could never decide on what I wanted. I was always afraid I would find something better. I finally made the decision to decorate it anyway, and if I found something better, so what? There are no rules saying I can't change it. So I am a few nails for pictures away from finishing it, and I can't even begin to describe how amazing it feels!

 April...I know it's half over, and I wish I could say I've already done something I've never done before, but I wouldn't be honest. So...for the month of April, I'm going to turn a window into a picture frame. I found an old wood window in a box someone had marked free. I want to scrape it clean, put some pictures in it, and get it up on my wall. Ordinarily it would sit  forever until it either broke or I just got rid of it. Not this time. I'm going to clean it up, and find some pictures to put in there, mat them, and put it up on the wall. By April 30th, I will at least have it ready for the pictures if not completed.
