coming soon

happy christmas and merry new year to you all.  i know it's been very quiet over here at livin' the dream, but ya know ... sometimes a woman just needs a break.  things have been very busy in our little house over the last month and a bit.  hurray liam is finally walking!!!  best christmas present.  ever.

as the new year approaches i've decided to redecorate the blog.  my brother's super amazing girlfriend is going to put together a snazzy new look for me (thanks a million mel).  until then i'm going to continue on my blog sabbatical.  nothing personal, i just have two weeks off and all i want to do is hang out with the best little dude i know.

cheers and see you in the new year!!

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.
