Insanity

That's what I'm claiming right now. SO out of the million things I want to blog about here's a few.


Yeah that about sums up my life about now!

  I wanted to share this really amazing apple cake recipe with you guys. I made it once we all loved it, and I didn't take pics to document the process plus I always test the recipes before sharing them. anyways so One out of Four tries at this cake turned out good the rest it didn't. so yeah needless to say I gave up. If I ever get the courage to try it again I might share.
(what it is supposed to look like)

I didn't end up with fall wreath orders but I do have about 7 Christmas wreath orders for this year. So as soon as I find the spare time to finish those up and take some pictures I surely will post that awesome how to. Super easy!












I'm getting a job. Not because I have to, but because I want something that's mine. and right now I just don't feel like going back to school. I had my 28th birthday and went OK that's it, its time to feel like I've accomplished something with my life other than my children. Yes raising children is an AMAZING journey. And I do not take that for granted. But sometimes you just need a little extra. It looks like I will be taking over my old job at my husbands office. Not a bad gig considering that its pretty much the only job I can get where I work from 9am-2pm, so that I still can get the kids to and from school . Not to mention he could really use the help! (luckily its out of my house this go round ) I have a few applications out there floating but so far no bites. Its really hard to find a job right now because pretty much everyone is looking.


Halloween. Every year we enter our local Halloween fall festival costume contest (and every year we've won our age division) so after a long consideration and debate I decided to relinquish the title for the next family to take our place. It was fun while it lasted and I really enjoyed making their costumes, but Its a lot of work, and its more fun to watch. :) Here's a few of our costumes. I wanted to post how to's on these. but well i never got around to it. If you want to know reply and I'll email you some directions.

I hope the job works out well for you! And I'm impressed by your Halloween costumes! My favorite costume growing up was dressing up like a Mom. I did it every year in fact. Made it easy for my mom since all I did was wear a dress & carry around a baby!
