It's been awhile since I blogged. C is now 3 and such a strong willed child, but so much fun. S is now 6 and a Kindergartner which she is loving and doing so well.

This winter has been blah hardly no snow at all and what we do get isn't much at all. It's disappointing I used to love it when we would get inch after inch and get a ton of snow. I miss it and wish the girls could see that much snow once.

Day 20: Describe 3 significant memories from your childhood

1. Every weekend in the summer we would go to my grandparents cottage on the lake. From the time I was old enough to remember till I was 16. it brings me peace thinking aobut those summers.
2. My great grandma's house
3. First time on a roller coaster at Kings Island in 8th grade my best friends made me ride it and I loved it!

Day 19: If you could live anywhere, where would it be and why?

Hard one.... we live in Indiana and well to be honest we hate it. We were both born and raised in Indiana but we want to move somewhere different. The summers are crappy the winters are crappy... we dont' know where we would move to but we know we dont' want to live here all the rest of our lives.

Day 18: What is the most difficult thing you have had to forgive?

God taking my 3 babies away from me. I knew they were unhealthy since I miscarried them if they were healthy I would have carried them full term. it was hard to realize it especially my last miscarriage where I lost the baby at 6 weeks but we didnt find out till 14 weeks because I didn't realize anything was wrong and I should have known I should have felt something was wrong. I have made my peace that my babies that are no longer with us on earth are in Heaven watching thier big sister and little sister grow up. They know they mean everything to me and understand that one day we will all be together again.

Day 17: What is the thing you most wish you were great at?

I wish I could be a better mom the mom that did everything right, the mom that didn't yell, the mom who didn't mind getting up in the middle of the night.

I love being a mommy. I always wanted to be one but I am not the best I know I don't have to perfect and that my kids will love me no matter what but I am working on being the better mom.

Embarrassing moment

I have I got a million of those!!!!!!!!!! My most recent.

Day 9

Influences

My grandpa he was an artist. He and I were close, I spent a lot of time with both sets of my grandparents while growing up. He was my cheerleader when it came to writing. I love to write. I can't draw or paint worth crap I didnt' get that gene from him but I got the creativity gene from him (thank you grandpa!!) I wrote all the time growing up. I even almost had a book published but they wanted it longer I didn't want it longer I liked it how it was. Then I lost it I lost my love of writing for awhile. I got back into writing in a journal again after high school but not stories. I also blogged.  He always told me it doesn't matter what I wrote just write. he died in 2006 when I was 6 months pregnant with my first child. I had a breakdown at his funeral. I hope he is proud of me.

Never met the family ever in my life. 2005 I was in a bad accident I won't go into it but it was bad. God was with us that day. I got pregnant a year later and I came across this link and watched the video. It changed my life!!!!!!!! It got me into my passion for carseat safety.
