Speed Dating

Happy Monday Tuesday Everyone!

Today I am joining in a Speed-Dating Blog link up! Super excited to "meet" some new bloggers and share some embarrassing things about myself.

So here goes... all about me.

1. I will be celebrating my 7th wedding anniversary in June. (right dear...? 7th? I mistakenly thought last year was our 5th anniversary. Apparently it was our 6th. I will NEVER live that one down..

2. I am a mother to 3 beautiful children-2 crazy boys and a sweet little girl. I love being able to stay home with them and am especially excited for all the fighting and whining fun we'll have this summer before Nolan starts 1st grade and Charlie begins Preschool.

3. We live in a 100+ year old farmhouse which we remodeled ourselves about 3 years ago. It is on a small acreage and we LOVE LOVE LOVE having so much room for the kids to run around naked, yell and scream at each other, pee outside...

4. I hate cleaning my house. It's not that I hate it I guess.. it's just that I would much rather be doing other things. Like reading/painting/sleeping/eating/baking/pullingoutmytoenailsonebyone/anythingelseintheworld.. Conveniently, when my husband gets upset guess what he does? Cleans. My secret "Operation Annoy Hubby At Least Weekly" manages to at least keep CPS at bay.

5. I started this blog only about a month ago. I wanted to be able to share the story of our daughter Ella who has Cornelia De Lange Syndrome (CdLS).

6. I am honest to a fault. Seriously.. do NOT ask me if those jeans make you look fat.. I might try to spare your feelings, but my face will give me away every.single.time. Yup.. Me and Honest Abe.

7. My dream is to be able to use that honesty curse blessing to give hope to others struggling with accepting a special needs diagnosis, or anything in life, really. I make it no secret that I have struggled and still struggle with it. My curse is your blessing?

8. I am passionate about graphic design, photography, painting, building, sewing, recycling, upcycling, motherhood....creating! my husband teases me about my collections of "treasures" i acquire--corks, pallets, old windows and doors, buttons, ribbon, wrapping paper, jeans, wood, beads, thread, paint, fabric, patterns, tutorials, books, photos, paper....

9. I'm awesome at starting projects. Finishing?? Not so much...

10. I'm a bit of a craft floozie. I see something I want to do, love it, have.to.do.it.NOW, collect 1,000,000 of them, then burn out and move on to the next thing. But that's another post for another day....

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I am excited to learn more about this whole new BlogWorld I have entered.
