I always enjoy reading blogs from my friends and from fellow runners.  There are so many exciting things going on in our lives, so I thought I would resurrect my blog and start sharing some of them!!
The kids always keep us busy!  Ava has started taking karate (she LOVES it!) and Sophia has started dance class.  Graham started Mother's Day Out once a week, which gives me a day to myself.  Yahoooooo!  I will be doing a ton of running, crafting, shopping and sewing every Thursday!!

I am really excited about our newest project, the "dining room turned craft room"!! We decided it was wasted space to have a formal dining room (that we used once a year) considering we are a crafty bunch and always have projects going on.   We found an adorable and functional craft table that can be used for crafting, sewing or even homework!  I decided to work on a few projects that were inspired by Pinterest (yes, I'm addicted) to add some color to the new craft room.

The first project was amazingly easy . . .Mod Podge letters!  I found raw wood letters, craft paper and mod podge at Joann's. First, I painted the edges of my letters black.  (You could choose any color or leave the edges raw.)  I traced my letters onto the craft paper, cut them out and attached them with a layer of mod podge.  I added several layers of mod podge on top of the letters, then embellished them!  I love how they turned out!  It was so easy, I think I will let the kids do a project with mod podge in the future!! 

My hope for this blog is to keep my family and friends updated on the happenings in our lives, but also to add some joy, some inspiration, and some happiness to your lives!  Love you all!
