Not Me Monday

When I first read my friend's post for this blog (http://www.mycharmingkids.net/2009/09/not-me-monday.html), I thought, "there aren't that many things I would claim I didn't do..." Then, I started thinking about my day...

It wasn't me who put socks on my one year old to cover up the fact that her feet needed to be washed but we didn't have time.

It wasn't me who packed veggies and chicken (without realizing it) for my one year old to have for breakfast at Gramma's house today.

It wasn't me who didn't feed my one year breakfast before taking her to Gramma's house today.

It wasn't me who inwardly rejoiced when 4 out of 6 of my meetings today were postponed or canceled.

It wasn't me who ate a granola bar mid morning after skipping breakfast.

It wasn't me who said "I'll watch the baby" and then went and sat down at my computer.

It wasn't me who wanted to keep watching TV and fed my one year old dinner while propped up on the couch instead of in her high chair.

It wasn't me who made instant mashed potatoes and reheated leftovers for dinner.

And it certainly wasn't me who posted these things for everyone to read!

Free is very good price!

I am linking up to Reinvented's Trash to Treasure Tuesday. This is my first time linking up a blog post - I hope it works!!

Since we moved in, I have been completely stumped about what to do with our 16 foot wide wall in the living room. I painted it "sunnybrook farm" by Ace and then had no idea what to hang on it.


A couple weeks ago, I got these rustic glassless window frames for FREE (found them in the free section of Craigslist - I check it everyday!). Here's what they looked like after I hosed them down (I forgot to take a before cleaning picture).



I painted three of them black and hung them in the living room. Note the pile of birthday presents on my great grandma's desk - Evie will be one in 3 days!!



The other two I spray painted (first time I ever spray painted) "heirloom white" - which I've read about in so many blogs. And those will hang on the wall above my bed - awaiting hubby help! I will post pictures of those when they are hung. Anyways, I love how these look empty. Before hanging them I contemplated putting fabric or scrapbook paper or even photos in them but for now, I am going to leave them empty.

Beginnings

So many thoughts are running through my head as I think about this life that I am living and the glimpse of it you will see as you read this blog. So much has changed for me over the last year. We had a baby, moved 4 times, changed jobs, and bought our first house. Amidst all the changes, one thing has stayed the same, God. He is the number one inspiration for the way I live my life. As I have started "stalking" other bloggers and realizing the impact a person can have through this media outlet, I began to dream of what my blog could look like. I want to use this blog to share with you all of my inspirations and the resulting projects, disasters or successes, that arise from them.
