\"self<\/a><\/p>\n

I guess when I take selfies I feel the need to have company and sometimes my kids actually cooperate.\u00a0 So, this is me and these are my awesome kids…<\/p>\n

1. Jacob is 9<\/p>\n

2. Kaylee is 4<\/p>\n

3. Amythest is 6<\/p>\n

4. Joshua is 12<\/p>\n

\"kits<\/a><\/p>\n

I was trying to pick my top 4 favorite kits, but I was having a hard time getting below my top 10, so these are in my top 10!<\/p>\n

1. Chasing Fireflies<\/a> \u00a0\u2013 I just adore the colors in this kit!\u00a0 I had so much fun working with them that I ended up creating a coordinating kit (Sweet On You<\/a>) because I wanted to add so much more to this already large kit.<\/p>\n

2. Not Too Shabby<\/a> \u00a0\u2013 This kit started out as so many different things.\u00a0 I went through several theme ideas and color combos until I was about to move on.\u00a0 I probably could have made at least 4 kits out of my attempts but I wasn\u2019t feeling it until I hit this combo.\u00a0 It\u2019s light and pretty with a bit of shabby, it was totally worth the wait!<\/p>\n

3. A Happy Family<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Oh how I love fall!\u00a0 This kit makes me ready for the crisp fall days with the gorgeous changing leaves and all the fun family gatherings of the season.\u00a0 But not too ready, I still want some spring and summer!<\/p>\n

4. One of the Boys<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 This is my favorite boy kit I\u2019ve made so far.\u00a0 It has a lot of fun elements in it and I especially love the aqua.<\/p>\n

\"things<\/a><\/p>\n

Some other things I love…<\/p>\n

1. My family of course.\u00a0 They are awesome and I love them to pieces!<\/p>\n

2. The beach!\u00a0 I LOVE going with my family to the beach in the summer, it\u2019s my favorite part of the year.<\/p>\n

3. Going for family walks to explore all the pretty nature trails around here.\u00a0 This is especially fun in the spring and fall.\u00a0 There is a lot more whining in the summer and I\u2019m too cold in the winter!<\/p>\n

4. Sushi…mmmmm….sushi.\u00a0 I wish it was cheaper, I could eat it every day!\u00a0 My favorite at the moment are eel rolls, so tasty.<\/p>\n

\"treats<\/a><\/p>\n

Ok, that sushi got me hungry and thinking of treats!\u00a0 Here are some of my faves…<\/p>\n

1. Lemon squares.\u00a0 I love them so much.\u00a0 In fact, last time I made them, I may have eaten them all…yikes.<\/p>\n

2. Marie Callender\u2019s Razzleberry Pie.\u00a0 So, so tasty.\u00a0 Again, I could eat the whole thing…but my hubby actually likes this one, so I usually share.<\/p>\n

3. Strawberry Shortcake.\u00a0 Homemade biscuits, strawberries and whipped cream….what\u2019s not to love?\u00a0 It tastes like summer and I love it!\u00a0 In fact, when strawberries are in season, I will make pancakes or waffles for dinner and we\u2019ll have strawberries and whipped cream on them…my kids think I\u2019m awesome on those days!<\/p>\n

4. Duck Donuts.\u00a0 There is a super fabulous little shop in North Carolina by the beach we go to called Duck Donuts and oh my word, they are so good.\u00a0 They make them fresh and top them while you watch.\u00a0 They are hot and delicious…I especially love the cinnamon sugar ones!<\/p>\n

\"shows<\/a><\/p>\n

This was another one I couldn\u2019t narrow down to favorites.\u00a0 We don\u2019t have cable so I watch everything on Hulu or Amazon which is nice as I can watch whole seasons in days but I am always sad when I am all sucked in and then they just end.\u00a0 (I seriously have so many other favorites, such as Downton Abbey, Eureka, Firefly, Once Upon A Time, Revenge, the Voice, Parenthood, Face Off, Nashville, Warehouse 13, Almost Human and sooo many more!)\u00a0 Here are some that I currently love…<\/p>\n

1. Doctor Who.\u00a0 LOVE, love, love!\u00a0 I remember watching the old school ones with my dad when I was little so thought I\u2019d check out the new ones.\u00a0 I am waiting very impatiently for the second part of the last season to get on Amazon Prime…I hate waiting.<\/p>\n

2. Merlin.\u00a0 I love it when I randomly stumble on a show I fall in love with!\u00a0 I love the interactions with Merlin & Arthur \u2013 so funny!\u00a0 I was so sad when I got to the last episode and then I was all annoyed about how they ended it.<\/p>\n

3. Veronica Mars.\u00a0 My buddy went to go see the movie and I had never heard of it so I googled it and saw it was on Amazon Prime and immediately got hooked.\u00a0 I finished all the seasons way too soon…I really need to learn to pace myself!<\/p>\n

4. Leverage.\u00a0 Another buddy told me about this one and I put off watching it because it didn\u2019t sound like something I\u2019d want to watch.\u00a0 But one day as my Hulu queue sat empty I watched a few episodes and yep, I got sucked in!\u00a0 My awesome neighbor had the DVDs and let me borrow the seasons I was missing.<\/p>\n

\"recent<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t always take as much time to scrap as I\u2019d like to but here are some pages<\/a> I\u2019ve managed to get done.<\/p>\n

___________<\/p>\n
