Hello!

Wow I can't believe it has been so long since my last post but then really so much has been happening here at my house that I definitely haven't made this a priority.  The times they are a changing!! If you have been following my blog (or my previous 3 posts..oops) you know that my family relocated this spring.  We are now an hour away from my in-laws and only two and half  hours including a ferry ride from my parents!! Love this after living more than 10 hours away by car for the past five and a half years.  We are loving our new home though there are lots of things that still need to get done.  The previous owners didn't show this house a lot of love which is sad really because it is a great house.  Unfortunately I am not that handy and my poor hubby works full time as well as working as a tutor for his professional organization.  Oh and he travels a LOT for work.  Needless to say our list of things to get done is slow going.  If the house is exactly how we want it within the next six months I will be pretty impressed with us.

With this move I have committed to staying home until our youngest son is in school which happens September 2015.  I was supposed to stay at home with the boys after we had AJ but I couldn't handle it.  I wasn't having fun and the boys definitely were not either.  I don't know if it was the age they were at or the place I was at in life but it just was not working.  I was lucky and found a great part time job after working as a casual full time for seven months. Now I have been home with the boys since March 1 and I LOVE it!  They are so much fun!

This was outside Telus World of Science in Vancouver in June.

As part of staying home I have made a commitment to myself to start exercising more, my goal is five days a week and trying to be more healthy in general including more home cooked meals and snacks.  I really want to cut out the crap out of our diets.  I have signed up for a gym and this coming week my goal is 4 days at the gym.  I am also thinking about trying my hand a baking bread.  I know the gym and fresh baked break don't really go together but I am going to try a whole wheat blend and see how I do.  I will share the recipe and results with you once I have done it.  I am also going to do something even scarier and share a before photo. 

The other big thing I have wanted to do for a long time and that was the original reason for starting this blog is to scrapbook MORE and share my work.  I love to scrapbook and know that there are millions of men and women out there that love to do it was well.  I may not been the best at it but I want to share.  Most of my time this summer has been spent trying to catch up with Project Life something that I started doing this year...hopefully I get all caught up once both boys are in a school and then I can get back to my first love of 12 x 12 full layouts.  I need to find balance in this area.

Okay, the before photo will come sometime this week after I get hubby to take a picture.  I will leave you with some fun photos from our summer!

Hope you have a wonderful day!
