What keeps you sane...

for me these days it has been a couple of gates that keep my kids out of the kitchen and dining room. (thanks Ashley for letting me borrow this one, hope you don't need it back anytime soon) This keeps Bode out of the fridge and Laine off the table. It gives me one spot in the house that I can walk without tripping over a toy or skirting around a child. Well "I lock the door but they still get in" well kind of...

*you can't tell by this picture but he is stuck under there. He got his whole body under but his head got stuck.

Then there is this sweet-pea. She has taken on a less then desirable trait. She is now a drama queen. This video was taken Friday morning. You would think the world just ended but no, her shoe fell off.

My Mom's pretty cool...

She ran a 1/2 marathon.

We think it was pretty amazing...

35 years...

Opps I found a bunch of old posts that I forgot to put on here...

My parents celebrated their 35 wedding anniversary on the 21st of March.

To celebrate we threw then a surprise party.

Everyone came

60 cars...

1 house for 30 years...

6 children...

11 soon to be 12 grandchildren...

35 years still going strong...

Love you Dad and Mom!

I promise....

I guess he was hungry...

Our favorite Easter candy is Reese's eggs. I always buy a bag for Jer. He buys himself a few bags. We keep them in the freezer because that makes them extra yummy. Well a few days after Easter all the eggs were gone. I thought Jer really ate a lot of eggs, he thought I ate a lot of eggs. Well it turns out neither of us ate the eggs. I was making Bode's bed the other morning and this is what I found...

8 Milk Chocolate Reese's

4 White Chocolate Reeses

4 slices of American Cheese

When asked about all the wrappers he said " I eat them in the morning and when you are in the shower". Sneaky kid. I guess I am going  to have to put a lock on the freezer too.

Toot! Toot!

Please excuse me while I toot my horn for a second.

So if you read my blog regularly you might notice a little something, I LOVE crafts, sewing, home decorating and  anything that I can create and make beautiful with my hands.

I have been wanting to make my own little crafty blog for awhile and I finally got up the courage to really do it.  Thank you DIY Showoff for giving me some courage! I was featured in the DIY Project Parade.

So here she it is, my blog...







*You will notice a lot of my projects are in this blog and my craft blog. But my plan is to fill Cut Once Measure Twice with fun easy to do projects that you can do to beautify your home.

Dear Laundry,

I hate your stinking guts.

You make me vomit.

You're the scum between my toes.

Love,

Heidi
