I haven't had much of a chance to post here lately.  But, now that the holidays are almost over, I am gonna take a little more time for myself to do some of the things I enjoy.  I wanted to share my frame that I put together myself.  I just bought the wood pieces from Michaels and sprayed some grey primer on them.  I then sprayed some heirloom white paint and added quite a few coats of crackle top coat paint.  I then sanded it to give it that rustic feel.  I then decided to add burlap to the back and this allows me to do so many things with it.  When I moved in my house, someone had left an entire box of unused marquee sign letters in the garage.  So, I just put those to use.  I just love it and that I can do so many things with it and change it up for each holiday.  This is just one of my many new projects to look forward to in the new year.

Just Getting Started

So, here I am....attempting the blog world.  Honestly, do I have time for it?......Ha, probably not.   I am a wife and mom of 2 (Matti 5) (Eli 4) with a crazy, busy life and feel as if our little world is one big mess most of the time.  Everyday is an adventure and we all learn something new about life everyday.  I look around my home and there's always some kind of mess somewhere, whether it's our breakfast mess that we left on the table, or toothpaste all over the sink from the kids, or the mounds of laundry sitting in my living room waiting to be folded and put away.  At one point in time I used to stress about all of these things and would spend my days trying to make sure everything was perfect.  But, as I look around and get to experience the joys of watching these two amazing kids form personality, life, opinions, and grow into their own person I realized that none of that really matters.  What matters to us is that these kids grow up happy, healthy and knowing that we let them be kids and do what kids do!!!! While I wish that I could stop time and bottle them up at this age, I know that they are going to grow up one day :(  But as for now, I am going to embrace this time and hug and kiss them goodnight for as long as I can.  I will then go clean up the mess they made from one end of the house to the other and smile while I'm doing it.  Because at the end of the day, we are all just "One Beautiful Mess"
