Jumping Puddles

Here's another LO I made using the Snobby Walrus main kit and some items from the add-on kit.

Speaking of puddles, I do wish it rains soon, the weather the past 2 months has been scorching hot!

'Til my next post!

Happy Mother's Day!

Can't believe it's been another year since last Mother's Day. This is a day I have come to look forward to, and tomorrow I am celebrating my 10th Mother's Day!!! Hurray, for not yet losing my sanity!!!

I would like to believe that I am a different mom than I was 10 years ago...back then I was working, earning my own money, focused on being a career woman...but having kids changed all that. I decided soon after I got pregnant with Nadya, my 2nd child, that if there was something I didn't want to regret later on in life, it was that I didn't spend enough time with my kids as they grew up.

I am blessed to have a husband who supported my decision, and to even have that option available to me. Granted, being in a single-income household has its setbacks, but by and large, I am lucky to be "living the life"!

Here's a LO I made to celebrate my 10th Mother's Day using Ellie's Day Out from Nikki Sivils.

I am...Mom

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!
