I'm not sure about my many followers but sewing, crafting, embroidery... Its my zen place a way for me to unwind, and at the end of what ever project the kids and I are coming up with seems to be warming to my heart because... DUH!!!! Handmade is sew much better.

SEPTEMBER!!! where did the summer go

WOW! Can we believe that its September! Where did the summer go! I feel like school just got out and the kids and I would have the whole summer to soak up the sun, beach, sand, lazy days and late nights. Well tomorrow starts a new school year. I miss the days of my little man, He is growing up before my eyes into such a smart little dude, Sometimes I have to pinch myself, hard to believe I created such an amazing boy.... (or as brayden would put, he is a BIG MAN now because he is 7)lol

Felt like yesterday....

 

Graduating from Pre-K and getting ready to head to kindergarten Hard to believe that's been almost   2 1/2  years ago.

 

 

Caliegh starts Pre-K this year, our last hurrah before Kindergarten, She has been such an amazing little person, I have learned Strength and determination can make you defeat any obstacle that lies before you. She has had to Fight her whole life, but it has made her into the amazing person she is.

My Angel Hard to believe she was almost 1 in this picture...

 

My big girl getting ready to start her new journey of Big Girl School at 2.5 yrs old, She might have looked small but she had a big bite, My little Red takes No Crap From anyone.... (defiantly following in her namesakes foot steps... Her Cole never took any ones crap either, LOL)

 

Brayden First day of Kindergarten and Caleighs first day of Preschool, Seems like yesterday!

First Grade and 2nd year of Preschool... Amazing How much C grew that first year of school, her brother better watch out because she might pass him in height.

 

One proud mommy and her to babies..... Cough!! (NOT BABIES ANYMORE)

 

 

Here's My Stud! Cant believe he is 7 and starting 2nd grade.... I guess time flies when your having fun, It seems like the days and nights get shorter and years fly by when you have children because lord knows I love the people they are turning into and I'm very proud to be there mommy, but I wish they wouldn't grow up so fast.

 

Ms DIVA!!! she loves her purple cant you tell.... LOL I love my little Red Headed Fire Cracker, She has beat everything that doctors always said she wouldn't and is a daily inspiration of what determination will get you in life.

 

I'm one proud mommy, although if I could stop the clock for a few days, just to get a few more summer excursions in I would, But looking forward to a JAM PACKED, CRAZY SCHEDULE, SOCCER FILLED, BOY SCOUT, AWANA ADVENTURE, FUN FILLED TIME!

 

Welcome September!!! although you crept up on us way to fast, I'm looking forward to an amazing New School Year, Full of changes, Personal Growth, and new opportunities that await us.

 

WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL MY LOVES!!!!

 



 



Summer Time Fun..... Link Up

Sew I have been away for sew long, Where did the past few months go I just blinked or was that a nap, I'm not sure but sure seems like I just wrote that post about the Indulgence and here it is JUNE !!!! What.... I guess my watch must be broken or I guess my little Time machine *You know that one all of us Crafters dream about* that little portal that stops time so we can catch a few ZZZZZ's and craft while everyone else is sleeping and then, we hit the special HOLD TIME BUTTON (GOSH!!!! Wouldn't that be wonderful) then as crafters,embroiders, sewers, knitters, you get the HINT could get to bed at say 3:00 in the morning and still get a full 8 hours of sleep between 3:00 and say 6:30 when our children awaken us for breakfast.... Because if no one told you yet SCHOOL IS OUT!!!!! I know I'm having a wonderful time with my children being home but Guilty that I couldn't finish just a few more projects for them before the school year ended....

AM I THE ONLY ONE????? Please tell me that Other crafty  mommies are having the same problem, I love summer because it means, water balloon fights, outdoor fun, Water Country with the kids, Busch Gardens as a family, and just all out enjoyment of each others company, but I also like to throw a sewing project *NEVER SMALL SCALE EITHER**** because my brain just doesn't know how to think that way so.... I have been searching the blogosphere for some fun KID Friendly Projects that we could do this summer, between the craziness I call life I like to throw in a curve ball or 2, so my goal is to slip in a trip or 2 a week to Water Country or Busch while also throwing in crafty projects (I want the kids to be able to enjoy their summer break) but I want it to be educational, last summer we focused on reading for B and this past school year he blew it out of the water so this year I think Science and Math are going to be our focus since those are his favorite areas, ART I think is his most favorite and since Physics and Statistics requires logically thinking we are going to incorporate them into our summer schedule So here's the Bauer Summer Plan..... Whats your favorite part of Summer? How do you spend it as a family? What fun Crafty Projects do you like to do? I hope you follow me and CSI Project and come on over to join the summer Linky Challenge.

I have a list of things I want to try and make with the kids

Homemade Granola

Side walk Chalk

Gak

Fence Fun Art

Outdoor obstacle Course

Cooking fun Cookbook (kid Friendly cooking)

And there are so many other crafty goodness things running through my brain so stay tuned.

Happy Crafting......

All I have to say is "INDULGENCE"

Sew WOW is it really March already I feel like I slept through February, Allot has changed around here, Not sure the ground hog was right because it has been feeling like spring here in Virginia.

Has anyone been to the grocery store lately and saw the new Cream Cheese. A little Secret I love so cream cheese and chocolate well I think I get that from my dad and grandad they love to get the midnight munchies and chocolate always does the trick So any who have you seen.

Sew being the frugal mommy I try to be hubby and I had a coupon he thought I was nuts but the choices and heck it was double coupon day so I had to Indulge myself and see what all the fuss was about. There are 3 favors well how is a woman to choose.

I love Dark Chocolate, but I was thinking of using some Nilla Wafers so turned to the White Chocolate but finally decided on the Milk Chocolate... All I have to say ladies its the best snack ever.

I mean look at the creamy goodness there is 110 calories per serving which is about 2 tablespoons which is allot of cream cheese there is only 7g of fat I'm in heaven it beats buying a Kit Kat bar or something not as good or healthy.

The dark chocolate on strawberries is just like chocolate dipped without the rude inches that hit your waist line. I have to say that no day is compete with out pairing it with a great cup of coffee so this is my new dirty little secret snack that wont hurt the bikini waist line.... (bwahahaha sorry I had to pick my self off the floor after laughing so hard out a bikini waist line like that would ever happen)

Sew whats your favorite afternoon snack that makes you feel guilty but really isn't all that bad?
