One of my husbands coworkers is 8 months pregnant and her last day is tomorrow, so we decided to give her a little something. I made her a duplicate if the celebrate card that I made for a friend. The thing that surprised me was that I got it done in 30 minutes. I did it all before he headed out the door for work. Yes, I smiled as my card walked out the door with my husband…oopps. I mean {Read More}
Mrs. Mom’s Blog
Scrap of Love
This week I did a quick project that I had been wanting to get done for a little while. I took a picture of me and my kids and did a fast scrapbook page. I used my Art Philosophy crucit cartridge and Stella paper from Close To My Heart. It made my heart smile.
Mom-Me Time
Early mornings aren’t easy and late nights are hard, but that is the life of a mother of 3.
When I first started this blog, I did it as a way to relate to other moms like me. I wanted to share my stories and have a place to discuss the different things that I experience in my life. Instead I became overly concerned with what others would think of me as a mom and a woman. The truth is that my thoughts aren’t always the greatest and most positive thoughts. There are times when I am so tired that I could cry and although my husband tries, he doesn’t quite understand the life of a stay at home mother of three. So, here I am, frustrated and tired. I’m in need of some Mom-Me time. I’m not talking about the three day weekend where I get total silence. No! I am talking about a time everyday when I have some quality “me” time. Where I can do what ever I want or don’t want to do.
It may seem like this is something that I should already have. I don’t work right? Wrong. The truth is that I hardly get a complete night of uninterrupted sleep. My daughter is 3 and she could need anything at 3am and mom is the one she calls on. No I am not complaining. I’m just being honest. Mothering is not easy. I have been thinking about it. It must be God’s way of having us unselfishly bare our cross. Yes, I die daily to myself in mothering.
The way I see it, there has to be a way for me to be a good mom and still be good to myself. Finding the balance may be hard, but this is my challenge. My birthday is coming up soon and I want to do this for me.
No, the late nights and early mornings probably won’t stop, but I can find time to be rejuvenated through out the day. Taking care of Mom-Me is important too.

Taking Time To breath
It isn’t normal for me to have time to take in a deep breath of fresh air. With me being in school, my days and nights have been filled with constant tasks to complete. This week has been extremely nice. I have a week off of school and there are three days left. I have been able to take care of some things around the house and just, do nothing. It has been great!
I realized how much I missed blogging. It had become one of my ways of expressing myself and with the rush of school work, I didn’t write as much. Maybe I should rephrase that. I wrote, but not what I wanted to write. I wrote what I had to write. It was fun at times and at others it was horrible. No! I am not exaggerating. There were literally times when I though I was going to make myself sick from all of the stress. I had to decide that I was just going to give it my best and there was nothing else that I could do. What peace I gave myself…
It is nice to have time to just breath
Congratulations: Baby Card
This is a card that I made for one of my closest friends. She recently had a baby boy. Since we are in Utah and she is in Hawaii, I decided to send it to her. I haven’t sent it yet but I will send it within the next week. I made it with a piece of plain white card stock and a blue an poka-dot ribbon. I also used a stamp and a cut out that came with {Read More}
