Stay at Home Me

So, I know you’ve been wondering what I fill my days with, especially since I don’t have any girlfriends to help me out with that. These kids are the best friend a person could ever want!

Today I got all packed up and ready for the gym. Kids shoes and coats on, bag packed. Oops! Forgot to start the car, kiddos! I go to the car and there’s no pulse. Nada. The battery is dead (thank you Bella for leaving that light on). Ok, no biggie. Kids, take your coats off and get cozy.

We pull out crayons and practice writing letters. We paint on the kitchen table with shaving cream. We eat. We play hide and seek, to which my chihuahua always shows the kids where I hid. We then go for a nice walk to the park. We get home with growling bellies. Lunchtime. Some more crafts. I then decide to get all domestic and bake some cinnamon rolls from scratch. We get flour in our hair and clothes and sweet sugar in our teeth. We watch the dough rise with excitement. We get the rolls all filled with sugary goo and I pop them into the fridge to bake later on. It’s NAPTIME! Yahooo!

While the babies sleep, I dyed and cut my hair (haven’t seen a hairdresser since February). I then decided to do makeup and curl the fresh do. One of my favorite things to do is play with my hair. Did I ever tell you I was a beauty school drop out? I missed my calling or something because I’m addicted to products and hair irons.

Once I was done dolling up to go no where, I then decide to do some crafts. We had all these gorgeous shells and some moss from our trip to Tampa, so I decided to use them. Last night I made this after the babes went to bed (bad picture, batteries were low):

So today I decided to pull out this mosquito netting that I had in my attic and decorate it with some shells and moss too. This is how it turned out:

I finally replaced my stolen bedspread with a GORGEOUS cheap spread from Target (sorry you can’t see it in the pic). It was perfect because when I ordered it I had just gotten back from Tampa and was all blue and homesick– longing for the smell of the ocean. I saw this spread online and thought, “Wow, that looks so vintage 50’s beachy.” Perfect for bringing the beach home (perfect for me because I love the 50’s). And it was only $39 on clearance. The shell wreath and netting just seemed to be the perfect final touches.

There’s a day in my exciting, wild life! Crafts. Hair. Hide-N-Seek. Giggles. Yummy Cinnamon Rolls. What on Earth more could I wish for? To think I could have been sitting at my old desk chewing on my pencil, drinking stale coffee, and cooking books. Blech!

I rather like my new career!
