Friday Fun {Part 2}

Filed Under: Family, Photography

I have been wanting to participate in Momma in Focus, but I keep forgetting to take pictures. Since today is my Birthday I definitely wanted to get some pictures with my boy(s). Well Carsyn was sleeping so I did get this picture with Dustyn today. Hopefully I will get one with both once Kenny gets home. My parents are coming down to watch the boys while Kenny and I go out to dinner for my Birthday. I am excited. He said he might even take me clothes shopping since I have reached my first goal of weight loss.

One Day At A Time The Paper Mama

I also wanted to share a  picture of me. I fit into my pre Dustyn pregnancy jeans today. So exciting.

{Don’t mind the mess, all Carsyn’s therapy stuff and Carsyn’s birthday decorations that are still up}

Something that is not going to help me lose weight is these cupcakes. I made them for play groups birthday party for Carsyn and Berklee. They are so yummy!

    Thanks for stopping over and commenting on my Edit Me challenge post. I really love the idea of the Momma in Focus challenge... it's not often that we wind up in front of the camera. You've inspired me to hand over duties to the husband more often! Congrats on hitting your first goal. I hope you do pick out a few new clothes, they always inspire me to keep going! :)
    • NapTime MomTog says

      May 28, 2011 at 10:49 pm

      Yes you should totally join in Momma in Focus. I need to do it every week, but I do skip a few. I need to get in front of the camera more. Hopefully since I am losing weight I will. Thanks for stopping by.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
