Valentines Day!

Well Happy Valentines Day to anyone who happens upon my blog.

I was reading various sites this morning and found a random statistic that surprised me. Apparently it's estimated that 15% of U.S. women send themselves flowers on Valentine's Day. That's crazy to me... Are we that desperate to appear "more loved" than our co-worker?? I just assume if you send yourself flowers you'd send them to work so others would see them... I don't why else you'd send yourself flowers if you weren't trying to get someone to see them.

Can we not be happy in ourselves? Does self-worth really boil down to how loved people THINK we are? Take heart in the love you really have from family and friends don't wallow in what you don't have but think you should.

Happy Creating and Happy Loving!

Best Valentines EVER! My first handmade Valentines from my little guy that he did by myself! Love it! :D

Winner!! And Dinosaurs

Woo Hoo! I won a contest on . Thank you Gina for the generous give away and for the info on tatting instruction! I'm so excited to see what it is. I truly love getting mail (that's not bills... Haha). Packages, letters, cards... It all makes me kinda happy :D

On another note we took our little man to Dinosaur Valley State Park yesterday. We hiked around and enjoyed the much needed sunshine. We had a great time hiking through the "ninja forset" (as my 4 yr old called it) and having a picnic. I think we are going to have to go back without little man and hit some harder trails at a faster pace to get in some training time.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Happy Creating!

Handy Hands!!!

I am super excited my first Handy Hamds catalog came in! I've scoured through it and marked dozens of things I just "have to have"...

Happy Creating!

Are you a Warrior???

So my Warrior Dash training starts tonight... I set up my morning and evening routines. Morning with boot camp style circuit training and evenings will be running... Wish Me Luck!! I'll continue to update as we go... 

Happy Creating!
And Exercising???
Ugh, what have I gotten myself into?

Warrior Dash?!?!

So I think I'm gonna do something crazy... I'm going to try to run Warrior Dash! I've got two months to train before it comes to my area. How do you train to crawl through mud and jump over fire?? It looks like my husband, my brother and my sister-in-laws are all going to run it. They are all in way better shape than me not to mention way more competitive than I am so I'm not gonna be able to hang... Lol but it looks like a big bunch of fun. I guess I'm gonna start tomorrow at least working up to run the 5K piece and figure out what else to add to the mix to train for the obstacles.
