Diamond Swirl



************ DIAMOND SWIRL ************




Here is the latest from Spare Time Designs. You can purchase it in a few weeks on my etsy shop . A simple black cuff bracelet made from Plexiglas set with Swarovski Crystal jewels.

My shop is set up but I still have not listed any items for sale. Check back in a few weeks I will be opening after Aug. 24th. That is the magical date we have our big grand opening at our church/my work place. So needless to say no "spare time designs" has been happening lately! It is all about keeping my head above water while I smile and pretend I know what I am doing!!! Have you ever been there?

Thanks for stopping in!

Mamma Mia



This would be the reason I loved Mamma Mia so much! Abba. I managed a small feat of keeping my singing inside my head for the most part. I will say that the musical was better, ending with the audience on thier feet dancing but I will take 6 stars on the big screen in spandex and glimmer topped off with platform shoes. Long live Abba!

PS I am sure if you would ever see me doing the Abba melody -song and dance it would blow you out of the water. Seriously. Rosita really we need to do a reunion tour! Brush off your dancing shoes and tight white pants!

Never say never

I shall not boast of being over "morning sickness"......when I do then it came back. Food only looks good the first time = (. In honor of my nausea, I proudly added a baby feature to my blog, which I kindly stole from Julia. Only 195 days to go!

Everyday Highlights

Just some random funniest from our house.

I have had to explain nausea and pregnancy joys to the kids. They saw a picture of a little baby about ours size. Explained that the baby eats into it's belly button. Emma refers to the baby eating as " the baby eats from the tail not mommies boobies" Always a nice crowd breaker, eh???

I have been throwing up so much they all know the drill, tonight on her own I might add...Emma knocked on the bathroom door and said " Mommy I brought you a glass of water". This time I did not tell her to leave me alone, I just smiled and took the token of love. Later at bedtime she told us she thought she would puke too...and 2 very fake coughs and a groan later?? We didn't buy it. Either did she.

Erik has learned a new word thanks to Christina. "Nerd". So being his speech is like a normal 2 yr old he calls alot of us "terd". That's going get us in trouble.

Julia and Emma felt the need to point out at Famous Dave's the big wooden bear statue's "manhood" to Erik...look Erik he has a ..............I caught them there and was like...go play somewhere else.

This summer has been filled with new words, gestures and lots of other things. All keep it very entertaining for us.

HOLM HIGHLIGHT::::::
And the best time yet was last night...a night for just mom and dad! We got to go a hotel for the night to one of the coziest places. Park City! Of course I forgot my camera. We ate alot and made a promise of no stressing to be any where. Found a lake in the mountains to have a picnic by. We drove thru the mountains finding lots of fun places to visit with the kids. And most of all enjoyed alot of quite time.Didn't hurt we found a great chocolate factory for some snacks!

I have to admit having Christina hear is so wonderful and to think she is going home in a week and a half is hard! Especially for me and all my hormones. She had all the kids frosting sugar cookies upon our arrival. It was so cute, and delicious.

Happy Bday Emma







This means "I am four"

Today Emma turns 4. She is such a piece of work. She got a microphone headset and wore it all morning while she lipsynced to worship music! She also got a wedding magazine from Christina! She is a little crazy about weddings so dresses are very fun for her. She still gets mad she can't marry her dad. So she said she is glad I am having a baby so she can marry him!She almost made me cry this morning when she saw I had decorated before she woke up. She was amazed- "Wow, Mommy is this for me?" I said "yah it's your day today" "Wow it is JUST for me?!!!" My middle child's heart felt her happieness of something done just for her. Happy Bday Emma, you light up my life each day with your youthfulness and spunk. I love you!

Nothing like coming home...


Here is the picture I took a week ago of the "hero of the day".

Nothing like coming home after a long day's work to a clean house, happy kids, a table set for dinner, dinner ready and waiting, and even dessert! Today Christina said she was "bored". I am glad she thought that! Seriously a huge blessing for us. Spotless kitchen, no dishes in site, clean toy room, the kids chores checked off. The evening got better, daddy took the girls on a date to see "WALLE". Erik and I had a great mother son time at the pool. He is crazy for belly flopping, jumping and scaring on lookers. We swam then laid in the sun and just chilled. Topping it all off was the fact I didn't puke tonight or the past 4 nights. I am also glad that I am a few steps closer to opening my little store for my bracelets. I will keep you posted =)
