I haven't painted much in the past few years. I guess you really need the motivation, time, and a bit of calm in your brain to even put brush to canvas. I am not saying I am a great painter, but I love it. I think I am a good painter. That at least is something I can be proud of. Here are five of my paintings I am proud of!!! I do wish they were brighter on here! The modern is my first acrylic, the others are watercolor!

Excited to paint today. It has been a few years. I always get nervous about it. I know that most things work out, but it is like adrenaline spikes when I think about it! Acrylics, brushes, and all are set up!

On another subject, I am going to Hebrew school, and Torah classes to convert to Judaism. I know most may be confused by this, but it is in my heart. Because I was not brought up with a religion, I have missed out on spirituality most are at least familiar with. I feel at home at Temple, and their beliefs, religion wise, match up to how I feel in an unexpected way. This is a new adventure in my life. I am scared because I am so lacking when it comes to knowledge regarding any religion, especially Judaism.

I have been sewing a lot. Pillows, curtains, and soon Eva's quilt. So far, not so bad! I cannot wait to take a pic of my bedroom when all is done.

Pics, because most get to see my daughter growing up on facebook, this blog is going to be about me. A little selfish, but just saying. Most pictures on here will be to explain and show what I have been up to.

I also have been working extremely hard on a cook book. At this point I am past the half way point. I have collected about 200 pages front and back. So, I have made a reference page for guick guide to pick dinner. Then I made a callendar of about 150 dinners quick to make to make decisions easier. The last part has been going through the book for the 150 dinners and making an ingredient list, just so that getting food for the week will be easy peasy! Only 100 recipes left to write up. Pinterest is killing me though. I find new things every week.

Eva has been entering the terrible two's, teething her last two, and just being a crazy snack cake. Sooo glad this weekend was a four day!

Nate has been working his butt off, so when he is home, it feels good to have my best friend back!

School is going well...again! I am now back into psychology. I take classes at the University of Phoenix Online. I take 5 week classes that never end. They begin on a Tuesday, and then end on a Monday. Kinda sucks, but at least it is going by fast, and it is only one year left. After this, I will begin a Masters/ Doctorate mix degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. So Dr. Babbitt I shall be. Hopefully by the time Nate retires, I will have a Doctorate, and be able to work. (This can be like HR stuff)

Sometimes, I loose myself just being a wife, mother, and things that go along with that, so it will be nice to have a great degree, and make my own money to help support and contribute.

New adventure in writing...

This is my first blog. I think that it will go something like this: a diary,a rant, and a place to reveal my life as I see it. Friends, I am doing this for entertainment, and for those that wonder what's up with my life, if you care. If you don't, please ignore then! If you would like to view my blog send me you email, and I will add you to view my blog when you want to!
