Day 8-365 Challenge

Eric makes these fabulous cinnamon rolls for special occasions apparently Valentine's Day counts as special ;)

Day 7 Valentine Card

I have started making homemade cards. I am not that good but hopefully with more practice I will be happy with my lack of artistic ability or find some that was hidden inside.

Day 6 Valentine's Love

9 years ago today DH popped the question. We had an 18 month engagement while he was deployed overseas. I am so happy he chose me to be his wife and helpmate.

Flylady dropout

I am not the best house keeper. I admit I am usually behind on laundry and don't always have a my dishes done in the morning, I am a flylady drop out and sometimes am surprised about what I find under my cushions. I have been trying to do better even though it may not be perfect my goal has to be at least to keep my Kitchen simi clean which means dishes done, counter tops cleaned and free of the junk that tends to collect on them. My perfectionist attitude has gotten in the way, you know the well if it can't be perfect I just won't do it. For me it's the why pick up when it will be a mess again in less than a minute attitude. Thankfully the Lord has convicted me of this recently especially to the fact of what my attitude is teaching my kids so I have been making a conscience effort to have at least the dishes done before bed and the counter tops clean off. Sure I haven't been 100% this week but waking up on the days when I have gotten it done has made me feel so much better and I have noticed it even has a positive mental effect on me which I like and that is pretty big when you struggle with depression. So slowly but surely I may be flylady but for now we are just taking it little steps at a time.

#5 365 Challenge

Date day with the hubs thought it was the perfect occasion to snap a picture of myself with makeup on and in a nice sweater because these things don't happen every day!

#4 Pancake Breakfast

Since it was grocery shopping time we were out of pretty much everything the kids normally eat for breakfast so I made them a treat of Apple Cinnamon Pancakes.

#3

We are about 7 inches short of our average snowfall for the year. A truly sad thing because my kids have been dying to make a snowman. I guess we will just be settling for little bits for now.
