WELCOME!

My name is Diane. I wish I could tell you that I am the perfect mother and wife. But I am not. In fact, I created this blog with the hopes that it would help me to become a better everything. I want to find solutions to everyday issues that most parents and women have. I want to share these solutions with you and hope that you will share your advice with me as well. Thank you and welcome.

About Me

My photo
I am a mother of 4 beautiful girls. Each one special in their own way. I have a wonderful husband who makes me laugh everyday. He reminds me how good it is to be able to love someone so deeply and truly. I am a happy person who wants to be able to manage my family and home life without totally losing my mind over an occasional mishap or disappearance of socks. I live for my family but understand that sometimes I need a little me time. I enjoy crafts, holidays, cooking, and wish I was a better housekeeper. But that's part of why I am doing this. To become better!

Merry Christmas!

Oh, how I love the holidays! It's been a busy couple of months and I have a few updates. My family and I have moved to a new home, we have become the proud owners/parents/family of a very cute puppy, Kimbo. Alicia is growing up faster than I would like her to. Aleyna is starting to focus and received an award at school, "Terrific Kid". And Abigail has reached her asking questions phase. The question of the week on little Abbie's mind was "Momma, what happened?" Don't you love it when toddlers realize they can use they mouths for something other than biting and screaming. Thankfully, Abbie never really was a biter, just a screamer. The other night we were on our way to the market and were listening to Christmas music on our local radio station. The song on the radio was Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time, or as Abbie put it "Simmy happy adadroorooroo dime!" Oh so cute!
