Life as a Mommy!

Obviously, I never learned how to use this blog thing so I haven't posted anything else...until now. Well for starters, I have the most adorable baby girl! Her name is Kathryn Mckenna (Mckenna with a small k), but we just call her Mckenna. She is our little love bug! Not so little though. She was ten pounds at birth, and now is almost 14! She's quite a chunker : ) During the past few months I have spent many, many hours on the internet, usually during the early hours of the morning, and I have decided to try and start blogging. (Notice the key word, try.) I have recently become obsessed with my cousin's decorating blog, Little Green Notebook. (It's where I spend many of those early morning hours.) I want to be a better homemaker, and that includes decorating. So this week, Spring Break, begins my goal. It is time for spring cleaning! Getting rid of stuff we don't need/use/and stuff we don't remember we had. We are going to make a huge DI run at the end of the week. I'm hoping to find a few things there I can use to brighten up my home. My plan, since we have very little spending money, is to use things I already have (wedding presents I haven't used yet and random things I've collected over the years) and items bought at thrif stores, and add a coat of paint or something to make them look 'happy' : ) DIY projects, here I come!
