Mom Life Isn’t Always Sunshine & Rainbows!
Hello Everyone,
Guys, I have been extremely sleepy for the last few weeks and today wasn’t any different. Last night I had to do a home sleep study test which required me to lay on my back. Should be no problem right? Wrong! The problems I have with laying on my back is; either one it restricts my breathing or two I start choking. Either way it causes me to wake up more often then I want to. I’ve also been dealing with the average its summer kids don’t clean properly or leave their things everywhere problems. No big deal right? Wrong! I don’t have babies living here anymore. All the children are well capable of cleaning up after themselves but why should they. When they have a mother that can’t stand a hot mess of a house. So, of course you know I clean up when I shouldn’t. I always overdo, over spoil, over clean and so on and so forth. That’s just who I am. What can I say I don’t like a messy house.
Don’t get me wrong being a mom is the greatest accomplishment in my life. Not my book, not my blogs, not my youtube channel or anything else I’m doing in my life. Being a mom makes me the happiest I could ever be. However, I know this will totally negate everthing I just said about it being great. But, everyday isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes its getting a burger with onions and no pickles when clearly you asked for no onions and extra pickles. Mom life is real life and real life is often messy and upsetting.

Getting Organized | DIY Drawer Organizers
Hey Everyone,
I’m back and trying to get myself organized, (Very Slowly) starting with making drawer organizers. I used empty cereal boxes and the boxes from my kid’s snacks. They are so easy to make and are really cute.

DIY Holiday Care Package!
This one is really special to me. I love packing care packages for my mom. She is not always able to get out and go get certain things she needs from the store. And of course, because I am a mom I have to pack her cozy socks, gloves, and a scarf. As stated in the video, when she opens the Christmas present she is going to cry. This is just an idea of what you can pack your loved ones over the Holiday season.

DIY Santa Letters using Silhouette Cameo!
So I have fallen in love with using my Silhouette Cameo again. I keep forgetting how many things it can do. One of the cutest things I made were these =Letters to Santa for my youngest 2 children.
Which they absolutely love.
For those of you who don’t have a Silhouette Cameo, I have included a step by step guide on how to use Microsoft Word to make the same creation, using clip art and lines.
The first thing you want to do is open up Microsoft Word and select a new blank document. Once the program is open you want to go to insert and select online pictures (unless you have your own pictures to use. In that case select pictures) a window will pop up for you to find images. I typed in the search bar Christmas.
Now that you have selected your images you want to figure out where to place your clip art. *Note Word doesn’t give you many options when it comes to placing the clip art where you want to. I chose to put it in the upper right corner.
At this point, you can start by adding the greeting and proceed with adding the lines for the children to write to Santa. You want to select shapes in order to add the lines.
Now that you have added the lines. It’s time to add the finishing touches.
Now that you have added the finishing touches you are ready to print the letter out and give to your special little ones. They will love it I know my kids did. Whatever format you choose to use any child is sure to love it. If you make one of these make sure to take pictures and send them to me so I can see how you took my idea and made it your own.
