This is why I have had enough guts to show you my ugly, over lived in family room. Remember the show Roseanne? One thing that she said on her show comes to my mind "don't mind the mess but we live here." LOL!! I love that :) Soo, here is another post showing my ugly but full of love family room :) Cuz I am gonna brag about the kids sitting within it!!
Our three girls, Katelyn, Savannah and Emily. Katelyn has a little crush on my son Ashton, awww, how cute is that??
Sweet, beautiful Bella. She is doing much better and loved being with all the kids. She spent most of the weekend waiting for them to drop food on the floor, lol. And yes, it happened a lot!
My son Colton and Katelyn, listening to music :)
My oldest, Ashton, sucking on a sucker and texting his girlfriend Sadie. That is what he did ALL weekend!! I am sooo not used to him liking a girl so much, lol.
Emily and Eddie, playing DS3 first thing in the morning.Saturday night, I stayed up super late with Gibson, Colton and Ashton while everyone else was asleep. It was so much fun :) We watched Toot and Puddles Christmas. I love Toot and Puddle!!! I watch the cartoon on Nick Jr. allll the time, lol. I wish I could live in their little cottage in Pocket Hollow. Deep in the woods, not a care in the world. Though my boys are getting older, they were glued to the tv, watching it. That made my heart smile. They are still little boys at heart :)

A couple weeks ago, I worked on a Valentine piece for my shoppe. I figured I better at least complete one project! This is a mixed media piece full of romantic lace.
All white of course!! 
Very ethereal. I really like how it turned out. I am going to try and do some more Valentine pieces. It is coming fast though!Thank you for visiting me today have a great week! ~ Hugs, Amy

Oh Amy, what a blessing! everyone looks happy and cozy! Aren't you glad you're realizing these things now instead of once they are all grown and moved this way and that? Wish I would have learned sooner. I would get so angry at my little boys for messing up my "perfect" little house. :(
Micah's been sick and he keeps thanking me for taking care of him. I'm so glad I'm here for him instead of away at another job. He is my last one and even though he's taller than me now, I cherish these teen years with him because they go by as fast as the 1-5 years go!
My grand girl once asked me, "Is there ever a time when there's not dirty dishes in your sink?"
Ha-ha! (Her mom is much tidier than me.)
I laughed and told her "Sure, it gets empty but when you're here, I'd much rather play with you."
"Oh!" She said, "I would much rather that, too!"
I have NO memories of my mom playing with me so I've played with my kids and grand kids a lot- especially Micah since he's alone.
Well your creations get dreamier by the minute, Amy! So soft and pretty! I'm enjoying my hearts so much. I have them hanging from my built in hutch knobs.
I'm just so happy for Bella! Give bella a hug for me! ♥
HOLLY!! I love your comment so much!! Thank you for always being so encouraging and sweet to me. I cannot say that enough!! YES, I am so glad I realized this now. It took a real hardship in my life to finally open my eyes :( But I am going to cherish all of my children and give them my quality time and energy because that is what children deserve. I am glad I realized this when the boys are relatively young and not adults. I dont want all of their memories to be of me cleaning!! I want to be the cool fun mom. Children are the biggest blessing that we can ever ever have. Nothing takes the place of them and nothing ever should. They deserve to have the best childhood they ever could. This is the time that molds them into the adults they are going to be and shows them how to treat others. My boys have been through a very very hard couple of years. Things they did not deserve and never should have had to go through. And that breaks my heart. But we need to go from here and move forward in the very best way possible. That is what I want to devote my life to at this point. I am blessed to have all of these beautiful babies and I will take that for granted no more!!
Thanks sweetie, I love you!! And I hope Micah feels better!!

What a heartwarming post, just what I need today. My daughter got upset this morning, over exams and the kids that mess around in maths lessons so she can't concentrate. I'm lucky I could stop with her, chat make her feel better by just being there, like you taking time out. Of course the washing needs putting away, ironing....but she is now laughing and joking again, all that matters.
Good on you all.
Amanda, I just loved your comment!! The best thing you can do in a day is make your child laugh when they are upset :) It is a better feeling than even getting the house clean :) And your daughter (who's name I love, teehee) will always remember those moments :) I would love to hang out with her!! It seems we have a lot in common! I wish I could come visit you, that would be so much fun!! Thank you for always leaving me such sweet comments and being so supportive! It means the world to me!
Big hugs to you and Amy,
Amy
Hi Amy, What a beautiful family your have and I love your pics. Everyone is happy and enjoying the things kids do. Your boys are so growing up so fast. I remember when they were just little guys. You are an amazing mom and your children are so blessed to have you.
Enjoy these years. They run by so fast.
XOXO Celestina Marie
