Let the project begin

-


What does being a mom mean to you? For me, being a mom means the world, but sometimes I feel like I lose myself in it. I decided to begin a mommy project as a journey of self discovery. It's about discovering talents that I did not know I had. It's about trying new things. About doing things I never had that chance to do. Things that I love and even those that I don't care for, but know that I desperately need.

After becoming a mom, I felt that I had giving up so much to stay home with my children, even though it was a decision I felt strongly about. It's been five years and I've realized that instead of dwelling on the negatives or the what ifs, I need to accept my life just as it is. This is another chapter of my life and it's up to me to discover what's in store.

This is a project of becoming a new and better me.

    Karen, this is a great blog! You and I have so much in common. I share a lot of the same feelings about being a stay at home mom...it's not a choice that I regret but I guess how I use my time and talents (or a lack thereof) is what I regret. When I see how you interact with your children I can see what a great mom you are. Please keep updating this blog...I am sure a lot of mom's (especially, stay at home mom's) can relate.

MY DIY TE FITI RUNNING COSTUME

Disney races are a big deal! I never knew just how popular they were until the year I was left out of the Wine & Dine race beca use it filled up in a matter of two hours. It was now 2017 and I was not going to let that happen again. I sat anxiously checking the time every 5 minutes waiting for 12 o'clock. I had both my laptop and phone open to the RunDisney registration page. As the clock struck twelve I rapidly jumped on! Jackpot! I was able to register! Now that registration was behind me, it was now time to think about the most important part...what costume was I going to wear! My favorite part of Disney races is dressing up and finding awesome costumes. My friend and I kept going back and forth on what costumes we should run in.  Our first idea was to run as cute snowmen, thinking the theme would be Christmas once again. But the theme had changed and it was now going to be Fall Feast. Our first thought about going with Beauty and the Beast characters becau

OUR PUERTO RICO VACATION

La Isla del Encanto… the island of enchantment… that is the popular name given to the island of Puerto Rico. In summer of 2017 we visited Puerto Rico on our family vacation.. we spent 8 days on the island.  This was the first time my boys and I had been to PR. Tony used to spend his summers there, as a kid, with his grandparents. I particularly enjoyed this trip because we had the opportunity to visit several places during our stay.  We flew from Fort Lauderdale, FL to the capital city of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Shortly after arriving we drove to the southwest central part of the island to visit Tony’s grandmother in the town of Adjuntas.  ADJUNTAS Adjuntas is known as the land of the sleeping giant because the mountain range looks like a giant sleeping on his side.  It’s located in a mountainous range so the climate is mild. The days we were there the weather was overcast and rainy, but pleasant because we didn’t experience

FROM CLOSET TO PANTRY

When I was in high school I wanted to to be an interior designer.  I ended up majoring in communication, but I still had and will always have a passion for interior design. When I lived at home with my parents I was constantly changing things around in my room, moving furniture in our living room, or changing out our home decor.   Now, I love having my own home where I can decorate and design to my hearts content, well as long as my husband is on board too. 😜   We bought our home almost 5 years ago, it was a great home with great bones, but it was a bit of a fixer upper. Over the years we have been slowly remodeling and fixing it up. Some areas we gutted and rebuilt, while others, we just did cosmetic changes, like painting or changing outdoors. Last year I took on a project of converting the coat closet into a pantry. Right off our kitchen is a coat closet that we don't use. We live in Central Florida and our coats are in a storage container. So, I decided to turn t
