well i'm back....AGAIN!!

It's been so long since I have last blogged. I guess with trying to keep up with other online sites (i.e. facebook), I haven't really felt it necessary.

But then I remembered why I started blogging in the first place, so now I'm back!

So what have I been up to for the month of January??

Trying to stay true to my words for 2012.

Getting hooked on Downton Abbey

Lotsa cleaning & hanging out in here.

Hanging out with visiting family

Starting my first Project Life

Joining Weight Watchers and being proud of my success so far....Now I'm down 8 lbs.!!

Finally getting eggs from our chickens. We are averaging about two a day from the three that we have. We are waiting for another 10 to grow up and give us some too!

Dealing with a houseful of germs

Reopening the "Manna Family Store" (our chore incentive)

Hanging out and being silly

Watching artists bloom

Starting to crochet my first blanket. It helps when you use your grandmother's crochet hook and think of her lovingly when you use it.

Dates with the Hubby. Of which we decided will take place once a month. Even if it's to just get in the car and drive around just the two of us.

Lotsa homemade ice cream sundaes!

Michael & I taking the poochies for walks.

Wearing more thrifted & vintage pieces.

And of course working...blech!

I'm really hoping to be able to keep up with blogging more. I hate that I broke the habit.

well i'm back....

well hello new blog.
it's been awhile.
but i'm back.
and in a new place which i'm really excited about.

i plan on this being a place where i can share my inspiration, my creative endeavors, and all the things that make me happy!

14605 you wonder?
well, it means HOME to me. my home is my comfort and happiness. not with just the people in it, but the things as well. almost every single item in my home has a story and a history. that makes me unbelievably happy. i want to continue to add to it and make not only myself, but the ones i love feel like when they enter my home they are getting a nice big hug.

afterall, home is where the heart is.



so let's get to it..... :)
