Just the beginning

 As I start this blog I would just like to mention that I am a stay at home mom of 3.  While my husband is off at work, I am with my children. Most days we are just hanging out at our home and on others its off to the grocery store, to the Dentist, to the pediatrician for a check up or just trying to make up our own fun. Might I add that NONE of these activites are easy with 3 kids. At the grocery store I spend at least $50 more due to one of my children in desperate NEED of a certain cereal or etc. Since it is summer and all some of our fun includes swimming. This activity takes us at least 30 minutes of prep time. 1st step...... the hunt for the swim suits, sunscreen, towels, and etc. 2nd step.......... making sure the bigs dress themselves while I dress the little. ( Just so I don't create any confusion, I refer to my older children as the BIGS and my 18 month old as the little ) OK, now its on to step 3. This step includes chasing down the kids as I try to put sunscreen on them. I am sure that I don't have to tell any mother, but by the time this is over I am exhausted. My kids ask me daily  if we can go swimming and when I do reply with no they ask why. UMMMM........ Hello! Because it takes 30 minutes of craziness  thats why!
  With all this craziness in my house its a wonder I have anytime for myself, but bedtime for my kids is craft time for momma ;)  Sometimes I am creating a dress, hairbow or something like that for my girls. I feel bad for my son because I haven't found an item of clothing to make for him, but I am pretty sure he has grown out of the monogrammed shirts with little trucks on them. My new crafty love is baking.......... and all the yumminess it intels. I have started baking and decorating them. A skill I taught myself.  One can learn alot from the internet! Just this weekend I made a luau themed cake for my best friends little girl. Might I add it was delicious.  I tried an oreo cream filling for the top tier. OHHHHH, it was heaven in a slice of cake. I am gonna try to post my cake creations. Please fill free to leave comments or suggestions anytime.
