I love Pinterest

I'm always trying to find ways to makes things easier and life stress free, especially when the kids get back to school.  One very important thing for me is that everyone has a healthy and delicious breakfast every morning.  With everyone having a different schedule this year that might be difficult, the twins are in high school now and leave earlier and my sons classes are sometimes later depending on the day of the week.  I found this great idea on pinterest that I've used this first week of back to school and it has been GREAT !!!  Now why hadn't I thought of doing this before. Basically what you do is cook breakfast ahead of time and then freeze it and each morning the kids just grab what they want and microwave it and walla!! breakfast is done.  It took me about two hours on Sunday evening to prepare everything and cook it then freeze it and only one mess to clean up!!!!! The menu this week consisted of pancakes, assorted breakfast burritos and pancake muffins with sausage bits, even the hubby loved this idea!  Thank you pinterest!!!

Project Life organizer

  One of the many things that I have been trying to do is reorganize the craft/playroom to accommodate myself, two teenagers and now a crawling baby.  Yes the task is great but I think I can handle it and find a way to make everyone happy, especially this crafty momma who isn't willing t give up her "happy" place.  I have managed to get rid of unnecessary things and "encouraged" the girls to do the same.  My husband was sweet enough to build me an organizer for my PL stuff and now I have a special area set aside for that.  I love how it turned out. :)

My new project life station :)

need to reorganize, yikes!!!

I really need to reorganize how I store my markers and pens, I don't like that I have been keeping them in a vertical position, I need to figure something out soon.  We had a great weekend, the girls and I went to HPB on Saturday, sadly they didn't  find anything they like, I scored and found some interesting art books.  I have been doing a workshop online with Kelly Kilmer, it is wonderful, she shares lots of info and great ideas, great video instruction and pictures.  I have been really been inspired to work in my journals daily and I tried my hand at making my own book, it was loads of fun.  She is a great teacher!!  I always say that I am addicted to art journaling, but it is so much more than that, it is an outlet for my feelings and a great way to express my self and be creative.  Well on Sunday I didn't have too much time to be creative, but it was nice and relaxing here at home, had some quality time  with JR watching some football, lol.  Hope this is a blessed and wonderful week.  :)
