Another weekend..

Has came and went and it was a pretty nice one! Miss Em had a 2day sleep over, so we have been doing some girl things this weekend. Friday night we all went out for pizza and then hit up BlockBuster. Saturday we girls hit up the mall! Done some shopping, had some lunch, and on our way out we stopped for ice cream at Cold Stone! YUMMY! Sunday was church day, lunch, a nap, then we all went out for RED LOBSTER! Poor Britt didn't even want to go home, but she had to.. I mean the girl does have school tomorrow! LOL! All in all it was a pretty good weekend and Mack got some daddy time in and I got to spend soem time with my big girl! Life is good and God is GREAT!! :)

What a BEAUTIFUL Sunday!




WOW! The last 2 days have been AWESOME!! Sunshine and warm weather! Spring needs to hurry up and get here.. I got the fever!! :) Today was sunch a GR8 Sunday.. we went to church, headed over to my sis-n-law's house for lunch and hung out all afternoon on their back deck! Miss Mack played all day outside and just kept going without a nap. Miss EmmaLee spent the weekend with her Grand-daddy and finally made it to Midevil times... she couldn't stop talking about it once we picked her up! A few weeks ago Mack's bike was stolen off our street along with the little boy's bike next door. Someone really made those 2 very upset, so we decided to get Mack her new one this weekend... and we found a DORA bike that she just loves to death!! So, when we got home from spending the day at Mary's.. Paul got to crackin on getting the bike put together. Once he got it done.. he and Mack went to a ride and her smile was enough for me to know she was lovin it! This one will NOT be left sitting by the mailbox!! LOL! :) I don't think we could handle losing DORA! Here are a few pics of her bike.. I hope everyone who reads this had as GR8 of a day as I did!

GUESS WHAT?!?!?




I have FINALLY completed a project!!! I have been working on my oldest daughter's room.. trying to give her a more GIRLY ,GIRL, BIG GIRL room... and I think I have succeeded!! It has taken 2 weeks to complete with the painting and furniture and everything else I have goin on! Still have to get her bookcase and another shelf up, but I think it is looking (looks) AWESOME and Miss EmmaLee LOVES it!! She has 3 pink walls and 1 purple (her sister got her room painted as well and has 3 purple walls and 1 pink!), I got some black metal letters that have ribbon to hang them.. and I spelled out her name above her bed! (HOBBY LOBBY 1/2 PRICE), some wall decor (not all of it has been hung) 1/2 price as well!! :) New furniture from Ikea, new sheets and bedding, a new lamp.. Just about everything you see in the pics is just about NEW!! And she loves it so much that she almost didn't go to her Grand Daddy's this weekend cause she wanted to sleep in her new room and just hang out!! But I told her it wasn't goin anywhere and it would be here when she got back!! Let me know what ya think Miss Cheryl!! ;) I still have more stuff to hang, but I am so happy with I have gotten done now.. Just had to share!!

What a LAZY weekend I have had!!











Well, the snow came.. and is still here (just a lil bit) in my yard! I haven't left my house in 2 days because to get to my car.. is just an accident waiting to happen on my part! But, today was Valentine's day and the hubby and I had plans to go to Ikea, see a movie, and have dinner. Instead.. what we found ourselves doing was sleeping in til 10, lounging around, and getting a pizza for dinner! I did, however, get some BEAUTIFUL roses and an Orchid. It has been a quiet weekend and I have enjoyed it so much!! But... I do miss my girls.. atleast they got snow at their Nana and Paw Paw's so they didn't miss it here and Miss Mack built her very first snowman!! Looking at the pic I would say she had a blast.. Miss Em built one as well with her cousins.. looks like she had fun too! :) I hope everyone had as nice of a relaxing weekend as I did!! Hopefully we don't get more snow tonight so I can make my trip to Hobby Lobby!! :)

Who honestly thought it was gonna snow this much in GEORGIA?!?! Lord knows I didn't, but it did and boy is it pretty! The hubby and I had a very fun snowball fight.. I kinda sarted it and he kinda finished it! Now I am gonna charge all the lil' neighborhood boys a dollar per turn sledding down my driveway! :)

My #2 Blog.... A LAZY FRIDAY!











Hello friends,








Today is a LAZY Friday for me! My girls have been shipped (lol) off to my parents for the long 4 day weekend. I LOVE my long weekends with just me and the hubby. We actually get some "US" time and keeps me from losing my mind. I am really lucky to have parents who want to keep the grand daughters for more than a day. They live 3 hrs away, so it's not like they get to see them whenever so I think that helps. Our forecast is calling for SNOW.. a small part of me is wanting the snow, but an even bigger part of me is saying "Please don't snow! I want to be able to have a date with my husband!" Anywho, I haven't decided yet on what project I wanna start, but I plan on hitting up Hobby Lobby this weekend, since I have some free time, and seeing what catches my eye! But until then... I am just gonna post some pics of my life to share... Hopefuly when the weekend passes and the new week begins..I will have an awesome craft to take pics of and post! Hope everyone has an AWESOME weekend and a ~LOVELY~ Valentine's Day with a loved one!

New to blogging!


My reasons for NEVER getting anything done! ;)

Hello there! Ughhh... I don't know where to start. My name is Samantha and I am a stay at home mommy to 2 beautiful girls... EmmaLee is 7 and Miss Mackenzie just turned 3 on Dec. 30th. I babysit a sweet lil boy named Blake (almost 2) and another boy named Connor (8). I teach a Sunday school class of 4 yr olds who always have something new to share each Sunday! Needless to say I stay very busy and really and truly only have one full day for myself. But I wouldn't change a thing about my life. My husband (Paul) is the IT director for an environmental company located in downtown ATL. He's a hard working man, provider, father, and husband.. I am TRUELY blessed to have such a wonderful man love me faults and all. I have been reading a few blogs.. and every one of them I have came across are stay @ home mom's who seem to get alot done (craft wise) I seem to always wonder and want to do, but never find the time.. soo.. my goal with starting this blog.. is to try new things and do more. I would really love to be able to make really neat things with all the stuff I always find on sale.. So, I am gonna find time and make it happen and post about my journey with my projects and post about reason's I didn't get a chance to do a craft! LOL! Remember.. I have 2 lil ones alllll day who keep me hopping! So, we shall see how this challenge goes! Wish me LUCK! ;)
