Focus on Life: Week 4~Create Art

Anyone who knows me, know that I don't do art. I can't draw, paint or even write poetry. The artsy gene passed me over. With Pinterest's help and inspiration, I am able to do some things...like cupcakes for my daughter's birthday party. You'll have to see the birthday post for that one. But I did get some inspiration from Etsy for a pretty highchair skirt. It really made it special for Violet and wasn't that hard to do. Here is me working diligently on it...

And here is the finished result:

That's about as artsy as I'll ever get. :) Be sure to go check out the other "artists" this week.

Focus on Life: Week 3~Take Time

This week is about taking time for yourself. The only time I was able to take to myself was spent with my trusty toilet....

I got the norovirus. Thankfully, while I was puking, my mom and Dawn came to get Violet. I was so worried. I didn't want her to get sick. It did finally go through my house and we are all better now. I don't know what I'd do without my family, though! I'm so grateful for them!

Focus on Life: Week 2~Your Word

Simplicity is what I'm going with this year. I feel like I'm drowning in stuff and I need to clear out and focus on just the things my family and I uses. My only big goal this year is to get organized and streamline my house. I hope to accomplish this before the year's end.

Focus On Life: Week One~Self Portrait

I am participating in The Studio Sublime's project 52. It is taking one photo a week to help me focus on life. It's a fun challenge...and I do mean challenge! Since I've had Violet, I tend to avoid photos. And this week's challenge was a self portrait. Fun stuff! lol Anyway, here's mine. I'm focusing on getting healthy this year. I want to walk/run every day and get my heart rate where it should be. Maybe after I do that I can focus on trying for another child. I'm lazy by nature. I'd rather be in bed with my laptop and roku any day, so moving in general is not something I love to do. :) Just keeping it real!
