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!

First Summer Project

Being a one income family can be challenging.  We have a budget and need to follow it.  I've decided to take on a project to help create some extra income for us.  We have tons of pallet wood on the side of our home and the plan is to make homemade signs for the upcoming holidays and for everyday use.  Today I purchased some stencils, paint, and paint brushes.  I hope to have more than a few completed by Saturday since it will mark the first farmers market I will showcase them at.  Sunday we will have a set-up at a local arts and crafts fair.  I will have the girls help out with this project.  I think it will be fun.  We spent some of our afternoon coming up with different sayings and words for the signs.  Tomorrow we will start cutting and sanding down some pieces.  I've always wanted to do this, now is a great time!
