Baby Belly Dancing Video

I just wanted to give out some thank yous today

1. Thanks Crystal @ wannabebalanced for having me as a guest contributor this past week, check back for more guest appearances from me over there in the future :)

2. Thank you to Tiaras and Tantrums and Costume Express for their recent giveaway!  I'm so excited about winning the $65 shopping spree over there.  Since repunzle was sold out I got my daughter the Cinderella getup and I know she will LOVE it!

3. Thank you to the Stuff of Success and My Memories for their recent giveaway...I was having a lucky week I guess! I also won $50 to get the My Memories digital scrapbook software and one of the kits.  So excited to try it out!

And now for the youngest belly dancer you have ever seen....only 3 weeks old...

Check out my new little niece!  The youngest dancer I've seen, not surprising since her momma is the best dance teacher and choreographer! I can't wait to  meet her in a few more weeks!

Ever feel like a P.O.S? oh yeah and the winner is...

Feeling like a P.O.S Lately?

I know I am...

So last week I finally figured out what Pinterest is all about and I now must confess I have turned into a P.O.S....oh no you didn't think I was being a self hater did ya?  I mean...Pinterest Ob-Sessed....I can not stop pinning things, I can't even figure out the best way to categorize my pin boards so I have a bunch of boards and sometimes pin things 2 or 3 times because they apply to multiple pin boards.  One thing I LOVE about pinning things now is that I don't have to have 80 bazillion tabs open on 5 different windows on my desktop, so when hubby comes home and gets on the computer to look at one thing isn't like "holy crap you are crazy!" as he tries to downsize the million things I have open.  Now, if I see something I'm interested in....pin it and close it....no keeping tabs open to look at things later...pinterest does that for me! YAY!  Also so much easier than bookmarking a gazillion things too...because when I go through my bookmarks...I have to open up a bunch of stuff till I actually find what I'm looking for!  Last week I pinned a ton of staircase wall decor and design ideas...Some of my more full pinboards include Art Inspiration, Owls, The Home, Landscape and Garden, Things for my Wall,  and lots more!  You can check out all my boards and pins Here...

And now can I have a drum roll please......

Giveaway Winner and Day 4 of AEDM

And the winner to my custom portrait giveaway is comment number 12 made by Crystal Escobar from Wanna Be Balanced.   CONGRATULATIONS!!! 

So...as for AEDM (art every day month), It's been slow starting because of that darn organizational guru who had to get me all inspired to do major cleaning/organization around here.  Yesterday I set some unrealistic goals for myself...I was going to clean out and reorganize my walk in closet, get the rest of the room perfect, then have lunch with the kids, then during nap I was going to either paint a trypdict that I've been planning on doing forever to go above my bed...or make the stroller seat cover, then have dinner/play with the kids, go to the gym real quick, come home, after putting the kids to bed, I would do all the ironing and when my husband arrived home from his road trip, everything would be absolutely perfect.  Well....um...WHAT was I thinking?  It went more like this...

I took everything out of the closet, my room looked like a hurricane had gone through with piles of everything everywhere...sorted through things, decided what to keep, what to pack away and what to get rid of, folded everything up, reorganized and made it more fall/winter oriented.  I was only half way through the pile by lunch time.  Then I put the baby down for a nap (in my room) so went and sat on the couch to eat a snack while I waited for him to get into a deeper sleep before starting back up...but I guess I blinked and didn't open my eyes until about 2 hours later when the kids started waking up from naps.  No regrets!  Anyways....I struggled to finish getting the closet put away and besides doing some dishes...nothing else on my list got done...I didn't even get to go online the whole day!!!  lol.  But if you could see my closet now, you would consider it a work of art! ha!  The art of homemaking right?  Am I stretching the rules a bit too much here on this one? 
I'm going to blame my baby boy on my slow progress, he's just so darn cute I had to keep stopping and playing with him and smothering him in kisses as he played around my feet all morning cooing at me!

Okay, well I'm off to get some "art" done today, I'll be back!

Congrats again Crystal, I can't wait to get started on your portrait!

And The Winner Is...
