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!

Hey there!

It's been so long since I last posted anything.  Life, as usual, takes over.  My children are growing up so fast I can't keep up.  My home is still messy, not sure if it will ever be as clean and put together as I would like, but still working on it anyway.  My husband and I both decided to return to college.  Something we put off for so many years.  Our oldest daughter, Alicia, now 17 years old, is starting her senior year of high school.  I am most certainly not ready to let her go, but what else can I do.  She is very smart and independent.  I know that she will make good choices out there and can't wait to see what she does with the rest of her life.  My second oldest, Aleyna (Lani), has flourished, she is bright, smart, incredibly outgoing, and still has an infectious laugh that can be heard across any crowded room.  She will be a freshman in high school this year.  This makes me lose sleep.  Aleyna is absolutely beautiful.  This means that boys will be a common subject in our conversations.  She loves so easily and sincerely.  I fear that she will experience many broken hearts because she forgives so quickly (forgiveness is a good thing).  I'll be here for her.  My two little ones, Abby and Ari, are precious.  They belong to the "Big Hugs and Kisses Club"!  I am enjoying this time with them, I know it won't last forever so I soak up every sweet moment I can with them.  Oh, my children are indeed growing up and it is ripping my heart to shreds.  I will need to be my strongest this year!
