Been crafty!!

That's right!! I have proudly started and completed 2 projects so far this month! I saw a bookshelf idea on Pintrest a while back. They only covered the back of the bookshelf with fabric and painted everything else. I did mine a little different. I covered the shelves in fabric and my husband painted the rest of the bookshelf. With the help of Jill picking out the fabric for their room, I think it turned out great!! 
 
My next project of the month was making picture tiles for my grandma. 6 4x4 tiles from Lowes, some square cork bottoms, and some farm themed scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby, I printed the pictures from when my grandma, Jaxon, and myself went to the Farm and Ranch show and he sat or layed in all of the big tires. I remember my grandma getting a kick out of that and wanted her to have the pictures. Looks better this way instead of in her photo album. 
 
 
This is the finished bookshelf. I do have to say that it really added a great touch to their room. They are pleased with it and couldn't wait to start adding things to the shelves! I like that I have went thru with these projects. I spent a total of $21.29 for both of these projects! I felt good knowing that the things I have found via Pintrest are actually cheap to do. I also felt great knowing that I made them and neither of them could have been store bought!!

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...

Where did September GO?!

My son was looking at the calendar the other day. Trying to count how many days to Halloween, he turns around and looks at me and says...."Where the heck did September GO?!" I laughed and said you are too young to worry about where the time is going! But yea I have no idea where it went. It seems like my post here lately is dwelling on where all the time went. Its definitely going by fast! And it doesn't help when every other post on Facebook is counting down to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Geez people can we just get thru the first 6 weeks of school?! Speaking of school i have a a rant about the system. Or the lack there of anyway: I remember being disciplined in school. If I broke a rule I was sent to the office where my mom was already waiting for me. (Didn't help that she worked at my elementary school) but still. So not only did the principal lecture me about how talking in class and being disruptive was disrespectful, I had to get an ear full from...
