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!

What's new?

Well 2010 was certainly an emotional year for our family. We had many happy moments. But it seems as though these happy moments were often met by a challenging one. My pregnancy was quite hard on my body. I guess it's true that a pregnancy at 32 years of age is certainly not the same as the one you had when you were twenty. Especially, when all four of your pregnancies were c-sections. I felt the difference and it hurt. I had difficult and overwhelming moments in close relationships (love, family, and friendship). And then my husband was laid off of work. All the difficult and overwhelming moments were now accompanied by fear and worry. But then God finds a way to make it all a little better. We had our little darling! And she makes it all feel better. Every time I hold one of my little girls I breathe in their laughter and love and I feel so much better. Yes, 2010 was not our greatest year, but we will learn from it and move forward. We will surround ourselves with happiness, love, and laughter. All will be good!

Happy at home!

Hello Everyone! I realize that it has been a while, but I have been very busy. I had my baby girl! She was born a few days before Christmas. Ariana Noelle, 6lbs 8 oz, 19 inches long, and covered hair. She is beautiful and healthy! She takes my breath away. She has joined her sisters in becoming one of Daddy's Little Girls and Mommy's Little Sweeties! My husband and I are so blessed to have such a beautiful family. Thank you to everyone for all of your support and love! Thank you God for helping us complete our little family and making sure that our little baby was healthy!
