So I have decided to learn how to crochet. I would love to be able to make my kids blankets and things like that. And since I sell things on Ebay, it would be nice to be able to make them for that too. Who knows I may be really good @ it. I love being creative and trying new things. I am going to order, Crocheting for dummies…LOL… if i cant do it w/ the help of that book, well, it will be sad! Now I just have to stick w/ it and not quit like i do everything else that i start!

One day when my children are all grown I plan to vacation w/ my husband in Greece. I imagine it to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. I can picture us older, sitting on the beach….knowing we have done a good job by our kids and realizing that now it is time for us! After 20 or 30 something years of marriage we can finally relax and enjoy all that we worked for.

*my name is Larissa~ which is Greek for cheerful (just a lil side note)

One of the biggest challenges I face as a stay home Mom of 4 is house chores. It seems no matter what i do, no matter how much i clean...the house is always messy! I will clean one room and move to the next and by the time I'm finished w/ that second room... I turn around and the first one is messed up again! Makes me crazy...I think stay home mom’s are under appreciated in todays society. We are viewed as lazy…like we just dont want to work. When truth is… all we do is work. There is always the never ending task of laundry and dishes, sippy cups need to be filled, dusting, mopping, grocery shopping, noses need wiping, toilets need cleaning… and on and on. Plus, lets not forget the most important…raising happy, well rounded, intelligent little people! But back to my goal…. one day I will be better organized! Which will make it easier to keep the house clean. Or one day…. I’ll have a maid!!!
