just not enough

Well, as it happens sometimes, I'm sad to say that I'll be stepping away from my blog for awhile.  Life is getting too hectic around here and somethings gotta' give.  There is just not enough time in my day anymore.  Between being mom, wife, full time teacher, and trying to build a house, I'm feeling spread a little thin these days.  I'm not giving myself a time limit or going to say when I'll be back, only that I need a break and need to spend some time focusing on other things right now.  So I'll see you around, catch ya later and in awhile crocodile!

friday's five: it begins again

I know what you're probably thinking, friday what??  It's been awhile but I think it may be time to bring back friday's five.  I have to admit, I've been looking back at some of my older posts and found I missed doing my friday's five.  Also, I'm looking for a couple ways to re-inspire myself and my blog.  So why not go back to doing something I enjoy, and here it is ... Welcome Back Friday's Five!!

This week F's five is dedicated to Liam's big boy room.  As we wait for our drawings to be approved and finished (yup building a new house) I am constantly thinking about decorating the crap out of it.  Literally.  I go to sleep thinking about the house.  I wake up thinking about the house.  All of my conversations with the husband are something house related.  Seriously I think I may have a problem.  Anyways, back to Liam's room.  I'm excited about decorating a room for a little boy (rather than a gender neutral nursery) because it will all be about him, all for him.  Thanks pinterest for all the wonderful ideas, let the creative juices flow.

a plague is upon us

Today I was at home with one sick little man, the husband had yesterday's shift.  Liam's full of snot, coughing up his lungs and running a fever.  He hasn't eat much and all he wants to do is sleep (a total of four one hour plus naps today alone).  He hasn't been sick like this since last February!  I feel so bad for him because all I want to do is make him better ... and I can't.  But I can sit and watch 'The Incredibles' with him, snuggle and cuddle with him all day and have him fall asleep in my arms (he hasn't done this since he was little little).  Here's hoping the snotty cough gods leave our house soon!  Please send the feel better vibes our way.

making the most of ...

... pumpkins!  Yes I do realize that halloween was a week ago.  But we had the halloween that just kept on going giving.  Every halloween as the husband and I carve the pumpkins I always say "maybe this year I should roast the seeds."  And every year I don't do it.  That is until this halloween.  I actually took the time to pull out the seeds, save them, wash them, spice them and finally roast them.  They're delicious.  It took no time at all really.  Just a few minutes to decide what sort of seeds I wanted.  Savoury?  Salty?  Spiced?  Sugar and Spice?  Or roast just as is?  Finally settled on sugar and spice (because obviously I needed more sugar)  Found this great recipe and 50 minutes later we had our sugary spiced up treat.  Pumpkin seeds are healthy right?  That's what I'll tell myself to quiet the recent chocolate guilt.

happy roasting!

wordless(ish) wednesday: its only wednesday

Well, my attempt to complete a third week of 'what i wore wednesday' was an utter failure.  I just didn't have the motivation to take photos of myself this past week.  That's not to say that I didn't get dressed or anything, but ya know.  Maybe this week will be better.  Something I'm trying out is to not set a particular schedule for any of my posts.  I have found that it I do that I'll miss a post and end up feeling slightly guilty for it.  Totally shouldn't, but do.  So if I make for 'what i wore' next week ... then I make it.  In the meantime, enjoy a photo this Wednesday.
