My sweet little boy...

Four Generations

My son is so blessed to have all 8 great-grandparents and 4 grandparents alive and well!! We had an amazing day back in November, when we hired Jennifer Verde to capture our 4 generations. I love how each and everyone in the photographs help create who my son is. What a blessing to be able to capture such a historical day! Enjoy!!

You Know You're a WAHM When...

You have to paint over your son's artwork that he so lovingly created on your wall!!

- I was working upstairs on my biz when my son came up the stairs and said, "mommy, see me."

(translation: come with me so I can show you something)

He took my hand and escorted me to the bottom of the stairs- He had a HUGE smile on his face when he pointed to his drawing on the wall. I could hardly get angry, because his facial expression was priceless- it was as if he was giving me the drawing as a gift.

Oh, the JOYS we have in life--I wouldn't trade them for the world!

Can a Woman do it All?

That is a question I ask myself quite a bit!

-Mom
-Wife
-Cook
-Clean
-Church (relationship with the Lord)
-Work out
-Playgroup
-Friends
-Family
-Read
-Relax
-Work

You Know You're a WAHM When...

Like many mothers out there, I am a Work At Home Mom (WAHM). I love my "jobs" of being a full-time mother and a full-time jewelry designer. But sometimes it is hard to balance the two - especially when you throw in my other duties: wife, housekeeper, poopy-diaper technician, chauffeur, etc...

Although I try not to work on my jewelry when my son is awake, there are times when a girls got to do what a girls got to do! On those days, when my 2 year old is awake, I work quickly and pray that he behaves on his own...but many times it ends in a catastrophe!

Most of the moms out there can testify that those "silent moments" from our little ones, usually mean they are up to NO-good. I have experienced many silent moments-

So, without further ado, I give you (drum roll please):

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A WAHM WHEN:

I was working on my jewelry website a few weeks ago and experienced one of those silent moments from my son. I walked downstairs only to find this:

My sweet little boy demolishing my LIPSTICK!!

I mean really!! Just look at that face

And since I didn't learn my lesson with that incident...

Here is round two- another day while working- I find Colonel Bradyn in The Bedroom with The LipGloss!!!

The birth of my Blog...
