Things I do in spare time??
So I'm sure you wonder what crazy things your momma does when shes bored??
lets see....
I create artwork! Mommy loves to grab out an old paint brush and a dirty shirt while I spend my afternoon covering a stretched white canvas with acrylic paints.
I love to photograph! I photograph mostly you, your puppy, mommy and daddy, and family and friends.
then I love to digitally scrapbook!! its an amazing stress reliever and its a community full of amazing women.
I create digital layouts like this one!
and then I create and work for many amazing women at:
Scrap Orchard- full time
Lauren Grier- February *hopefully longer after that*
Log you rmemory- June 2011
So I spend a lot of time in their forums and chatting with people.
then I spend time on Facebook
then I'm either working on your blog, exercising, working, motivating women, and then the majority of my time is doing my favorite thing in the whole world.....
SPENDING THE DAY WITH YOU!!!
xoxo Mommy

Journal entry- 1/13/11, photo a day, and to my readers
To my readers-
So like any type of daily journalistic blog... you don't always have the nicest posts. Since I'm here recording for the purpose of Emma, then I don't feel like I edit out and make everything seem... all Hunky Dorry, as Emma's great grandma would call it ;) The last few days many things have happened that is really personal and hard for us. Its things that I want Emma to know, so she knows that no matter how bad or low things get, you know you will always get over it. If you do everything you can do, you will preserver.
- REMEMBER... this is real life blogging here ;) -
journal entry-
So like I said baby, we haven't had the best of luck the last few days. Its hard, but daddy has lost his job :( Since Daddy works as an Assistant Manager of a company called Blockbuster *which honestly will not be around when you are old enough to read this.
So since Mommy is a stay at home mom and I only work a couple days at Sally Beauty Supply, We are both out looking for new jobs. I know it will be hard for a little while, but in times like these you'll come out stronger than before.
Also last night around 12 you had really bad clammy sweats so Mommy had to call the nursing hotline. You slipped and bumped your head so they wanted to check you out. I knew you were okay I just called the nurse to check on it... and they have to tell you to come in. So around midnight we drove up after a terrible snow storm and sat in the er while the examined and made sure your head was okay. It was and you are completely healthy and fine.
Honestly since its 1 am I just wanted to journal a bit about what has happened and show you the latest photos... I'll be on later to talk more.
On a sweeter side I'm helping the community of digital scrappers lose weight. I'll be taking on the challenge as well. My job is to gather up sponsors and keep the organization of people and sponsors.
and another really cool thing is... I won the
I won with this layout-
she said some super sweet words!! it made my day. In return shes making me a super cute blinkie to share with all the ladies doing the Skinny Jeans Challenge
I love that Susan spun the challenge to work for her. She writes about being a new parent and all of the things that she would like to do with her daughter. Things that she thinks of when they cuddle quietly together. That really touched me!

Journal entry- 1/9/11 Photo a day!
so super happy momma today! I've recently acquired some new people to create for! thats right I'll finally be able to digital scrapbook again. What is a creative team?? well what a creative team member does is work with a graphic designer/or group of graphic designers to create or make pages/projects with their work to showcase and help them advertise, in return... you get the products for free if you meet certain requirements such as advertising requirements and creative requirements. Its a super great community of very talented women! I can't wait to share all the work I do with you, and maybe omg yes maybe one day... we can do it together!!! i guess if its still cool and all. lol So you'll be seeing amazing products/challenges/techniques/tips/and layouts from:
LogYourMemory (starting June)
and
Lauren Grier Designs (temporary.. in hopes for a perm spot)
okay so this might sound funny... but all the women who do what I do, have what we call the "Dream Gig" or the "Dream Team" that we wanna work for. Its usually someone we buy from or someone we just admire... ect... well two nights ago Momma got her dream team!! its only what we call a "guest spot" (which means we will work for her for a month in hopes of working permanently) It was the best feeling ever!!
Thats for the month of February I'll be working with the super amazing talent lady named Lauren Grier.

A new layout- I'm finally getting to scrap!!
Hey I finally got the chance to scrap you another layout! I'm in love with the kit I purchased so I keep getting inspired. I was also inspired by a great post from Laura B. over at we so scrappy!
Challenge: Scrapbook one page that highlights at least 10 things that you would like to do or accomplish in your life.
here is my inspirational page-
Project Love ME: prompt 2- Dream- Flashback
What were your dreams when you were younger? What did you used to dream about — whether it came true or not? What was important to you when you were growing up? Where did you think your life would take you?
I use to dream about running off and living in a exclusive and hippie island with exclusive lifestyle. I wanted to run around without any cares or worries in the world.
I wanted to hangout in a huge group of people around a bonfire and dance and relax. I wanted to sip drinks while I basked in the sun.

Journal entry 1-6-11
So the last couple of days we've had a lot of fun! First off you got to visit Stephanie and Mike and their two babies Brady and Evan. They are actually the first babies you've met so far!!
so I always like to keep things up to date and share quickly with family... so i actually use facebook a lot! Facebook is a social network that everyone can connect to! You update your "status" and it lets everyone know what you are up too. Since so many people out there are on facebook, its a great way to network and have a relaxing time finding out what everyone is up too.
So here are some of my latest status updates... and it will let you know what you have been up too the last few days!! I actually find it a super duper easy way to do daily journaling!! Its pretty much how you connect to friends and family these days
here are some randomness posts from 1-4-11 to 1-6-11!!
Anyone been on my ___ <-- yea myspace \:) lately? Its a black spaced advertising revenued version of facebook... But i have no idea what anyone that i know is doing?!?

Your 3-Month-Old Baby: Infant at Last
At three months, your baby officially becomes an infant! This milestone is marked by not only chubbier cheeks, but personality galore! Here's what else your three-month-old is up to these days.
He may not get an actual diploma, but this month marks your baby's official graduation from newborn to infant status. He's still got a lot to learn (obviously!), but one thing he definitely realizes now is there's more to life than eating, sleeping, and pooping! These days, he's likely to stay awake for longer stretches during the day and (with any luck) stay asleep for longer stretches at night. He's no doubt making you chuckle, and he's probably giggling himself by now (bring on the raspberries!) as well as bringing his little paws together (clap hands!). Some babies may even begin to bear a bit of weight on their legs, but don't worry if yours doesn't — he's just not ready and that's just fine.
One thing your 3-month-old baby is definitely ready to do is show you his budding personality. He may be serious, silly, gregarious, persnickety, or determined — the bottom line is he is who he is and he's all yours! Don't give in to the urge to compare him with other babies. His unique qualities are what make him special, just as yours do for you.
Now, besides the routine care and feeding of your little one, your job is also to stimulate his intellectual growth. That's less complicated than it sounds — singing and talking are two wonderful ways to help a baby's brain shift into high gear. Some new twists to try: Use different tones of voice as you speak, and sing songs with surprise endings ("Pop Goes the Weasel" is an oldie but goodie). When you tell a story or recite a nursery rhyme, insert your baby's name for a character's name so he gets used to hearing it in a variety of tones and situations. Another great way to increase his awareness of the world is to take him on expeditions. Go for a walk and watch him respond with glee as he watches leaves move and birds fly and listens to the sounds of dogs, cars, or just about anything that makes a noise.
At playtime, your baby's hands and fingers are still his favorite toys, but now he might be able to do more with them than just insert them in his mouth. During tummy time (which he should be becoming a pro at by now), try rolling a ball about two feet in front of him. With a little practice he'll soon be able to coordinate his hand and eye movements to reach for it. This is also the perfect time to break out a floor gym if you have one. It'll allow your baby to practice his kicks and reaches as he works on those cognitive skills (what's the colorful spinning thing and why does it jingle when I bat it?). Another thought-provoking play item: a child-safe activity mirror. Hang it on the side of his crib and you just might get a few extra minutes of sleep in the morning while he entertains himself with the most amazing sight in the world — his very own face!
