Okay, so I'm really not one to blog about "things" or write a journal entry (although I love reading others' blog who do) but I get asked all the time now that I'm a stay-at-home mom what I do. I've thought a lot about this and here is what I've been up to recently for any of you that are interested...(if you're not, just skip this post!)
1- Taking care of the sweetest little baby in the world! I love my little Corinne so much. She is a handful...more like two handfuls but she is my little buddy and I look forward to being with her everyday.
2- Apartment hunting! Okay so we finally did it! We put a deposit down on an apartment that we will be moving into in a couple of weeks. We have been so blessed to live here for so long and have been so grateful to Don's parents, but now that I am home all day, I really need a home of my own again. I don't have any pictures, but I will post some when I do.
3- Hair! I've been doing quite a bit of hair while I've been home and I just love meeting and visiting with people and being creative. It has really helped me adjust to being at home all day.
4-Cleaning, laundry, cooking, blah blah blah... actually I really enjoy cooking and baking. Oh yeah- my friend Tammy and I entered a cake contest and got into the top five! I wish I had pictures, but I couldn't find my camera that week. Better Homes and Gardens took pictures there, so I will try to find one of our cake.
5-Exercising- okay, not really...but I've been thinking really seriously about it and I know I need to start doing it.
6- Young Women- I love my calling in the young women's program. I love the girls and the other women I work with- they've become my really good friends.
7- Being a wife! So, this one should be a little higher on the list. I love Don so much and I'm so glad that he works so hard in school for Corinne and I. He is in the clinic now and loves it. I can't believe he is almost half way through his 3rd year. He is amazing.
8- Family. Spending time with my family and talking on the phone and writing to the members who don't live close, are some of my favorite things to do. I've realize that it actually takes up a lot of my time, which I'm really grateful for. It's important for me to stay in touch with my family and I am hoping to do a better job at it. I am so blessed to have amazing sister in-laws that are so close and have become some of my best friends.
9- Couponing- I have been learning how to "coupon"! It's been really exciting learning how to save so much money. I'm just a beginner, but I'm starting to figure out how to use sales and coupons to get great deals. Hopefully I will start to understand it better.
10- Crafting! I have gotten really into doing crafts now that Corinne is a little older and will let me put her down for more than a few seconds. Here are a couple pictures of some of the things I've made recently. Some of what I've been working on will become Christmas presents, so I'm not going to show those.
These are Halloween outfits for Corinne and my new niece Claire.

Super CUte! i love you crafts.. so fun
You look like you are doing a lot. I don't think that I worked much on improving my talents when I just had Meili like you are doing with Corrinne. Good for you! My first was such a hard adjustment for me. I felt busy, but not super busy. So when I would just relax I felt lazy. Then the second came around and then I had less free time. I liked it a lot better, to be honest, and felt like I understood motherhood a lot better. Good for you for working hard from the get-go!
