I am back after a long sickness.....

I am back, my little family has been so sick..My Belle who is in second grade has been doing better. For some reason today while she is away at school my heart is aching for her. She has had such a hard year so far with surgery and pneumonia that she is for now pretty healthy. (Sigh)....I miss her when she is at school but so happy that she is feeling better. Hurts my heart when my kids are sick...Even my husband couldn't stop the flu this time. I started to feel like I was getting some of my energy back after not posting for so long...We went to my mom's house for homemade soup last night and mom and I played with the Gypsy while my husband and kiddos plus grandpa watched a movie. It felt good to be surrounded by people that you know in your heart loves you unconditionally. As it rained last night and the cold air blew outside my thoughts pondered and I was reminded about how lucky I am to have my little girl, my baby boy, my husband, a warm cozy home, great food and grandparents that really, really love my children. I will have a little project for you all to see tomorrow..For now I am off to finish cleaning and pick Isabelle up from school. I am busy busy...I am going to try a new recipe that my BFF told me about...Hmmm...Hope it turns out...Enjoy your Thursday...Hugs....

Happy Anniversary...

I am not sure how often my husband reads my blog...lol..But just in case Happy Anniversary....10 years today... We do look pretty young in this picture...LOL....10 years and two kiddos later. I love you Honey....

My Baby is 4.....

My baby turned 4 years old...Boo- hoo...Funny, how I am one of those people that want my babies to stay little forever...I have talked with people and some say they can't wait for their children to grow-up...Hmmmm, not me....This child of mine is in love with anything that has to do with tires..Cars, trucks, trains you name it....I have sure learned a lot from this kid..I even do a pretty good vehicle sound....LOL...Anyway, I don't have any creations for ya today, just a blond hair blue eyed baby boy....Hee...Stay tune though tomorrow is Polkadoodle day....Pretty cute stamps....Happy Birthday A...

Happy Halloween...

Last night I was laying in bed and thinking, now sometimes this is a good thing and sometimes this is a bad idea...I guess it really doesn't matter if it is a good or bad thing because most of my days are taken up with my two small children 7 and 3. Do I have much time to think during the day? hmmmm! No.... Anybody that has children or has had young children at some point in their lives know exactly what I am talking about....LOL....
I have been searching for the perfect ENT for my daughter. This has been very stressful and very worrisome for me. The last doctor I took her to scared me half to death telling me how very painful having ones tonsil and adenoids removed is going to be for my daughter. I appreciate the honesty, but my goodness I am already freaking out about this, could he have been a bit more sensitive? I tell ya I would personally go through this surgery for Belle if I could..Sadly I can't. I have finally found a ENT about 40 mins from my home that specializes in children only. I have heard that there is a new technique that is less painful without actually cutting them out but using CO2 Laser surgery...Guess what? this doctor I found doesn't do this technique! Geez! I need prayers...
Being a mom is so rewarding to me, but also can be very hard at times like these. I guess this to shall pass. Anyhow, Just my thoughts for today, I feel a little bit better getting this off my chest. Also, if you read my blog and your child has had this done, If you have words of wisdom or encouragement send them my way, I would love to hear from ya!...Anyhow, here is my project for BBTB this week. Hope you like it...If you read this whole post sorry so long..Hugs,

A Fallish Day..

It's polkadoodle time...I have Fall/Halloween on the brain...LOL...Love these little Polly stamps you can purchase over Here... The greatest thing about these Polly and Jack stamps are you can do your own thing with them, this was just a general Polly stamp not Holiday related and I made it into a Fallish setting...The great news is that now you can head over to the Polkadoodle site and there is actually a Halloween Polly and Jack Halloween/download ready for purchase...They r sooooo cute....The Summer is slipping away and my little Belle is heading back to school soon...I am so gonna miss her. Where are all of those baby years..Hmmm...A Second grader already..Boohoo...Sorry,Okay back on task...Hope you like my creation..Hugs..
