I really want to pimp my blogspot with cool stuff but am not sure how to go about it plus, I want to do it mostly for free..any ideas or good sites for me?

I just got a machine about 6 months ago and have done a few little projects…made a slipcover for a little storage box, hemmed curtains, hemmed pants, made a pillowcase…nothing too crazy but now I want to make some little dresses for Ella (my 2 yr. old). I love the different fabric you can get and cute little patterns so, that is my next project for sewing. Hopefully I can accomplish it over the winter. I also want to make some soft baby blankets for my cousin, who is due a month before me, and some for myself.

I’ve been married 5 years now and still haven’t made a wedding album, my daughter is 2 and I have not made her baby book and my other baby is now on it’s way so I have 8 and a half months to get 2 scrapbooks done! I have to do it! My deadline is June 2009! The pressure’s on. I just have to print out all the digital pictures, that’s really what’s been holding me back…I have all the other stuff. Just do it already.

Yep, I’m expecting baby #2! Just found out this morning and am very very happy!!! So far so good. Not feeling too bad, just really tired.

workin’ on it

I miss Montreal so much. I lived there 2 years ago and haven’t been back since but really miss it. I can’t wait to go back and visit all our friends and just be in the city again. Hopefully we’ll get there this coming Spring or Summer.

Yikes I wish she would have more consistent good nights. The best one so far was about 2 nights ago, she woke up only once. That was sweet.

Getting up is hard for me…I wish I were a natural early-riser chipper morning person. I want to be so that’s why I have this new goal. I usually get up around 8:30 and would like to actually get up around 7:00 or 7:30…I know that’s not super early to some people but I think it’s a good time. Hopefully my 2 yr. old will start sleeping through the night sometime soon, that will make getting up in the morning easier.

So far my little girl has slept 2 nights in her own bed and I only had to get up 2 times last night! That’s one time less than the first night…yay!

I think I’ve really taken this one for granted. I grew up in Northern Alberta so I was able to see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) many many times. They’re truly amazing! It’s best to see them on a clear winter night and sometimes you can even hear them! They make a humming sound that canges pitch as they wave up and down. The colors are alos amazing! They range from beautiful blue-greens, purples to red and orange. Definitely worth seeing at least once in a lifetime.

My husband and I had the opportunity to live in Central America (Guatemala). It was so amazing. It was actaully my first time outside of Canada so it was a pretty big deal for me. We had an amazing time, learned new things, met tons of new people, some of whom are still our friends. I really leaned to appreciate another culture and firsthand hardships people have to deal with everyday. It really broadens your horizons and opens your mind to different things.

ok, my baby is 2 now and I have not slept through an entire night yet! I really hope it happens soon since we got her in her own bed last night. And, I would like to sleep a few good nights since we’re trying for #2 right now…which means 2 more years of not sleeping. I have to take advantage of this small window of oppourtunity!

I think this is going to be a long term goal sice we want to do it with our kids and the 2nd kid is still to come, soon I hope…So, proabably won’t happen for a while.

I should follow my husband’s example and do it every morning or at a regular time. Now I just do it when I have time and it is kind of hit and miss.

It’s looking pretty good so far.

I want to have another baby to round out the family in every way. It will be good for our daughter to have a sibling and My husband and I are ready for another bundle of sweet baby.
