Thursday Thirteen #3

Thirteen ThingsThat Sadly Kept Me Away From My Art Blog for 2 Months! LOL!


Yes, I've been MIA for 2 months now. Nothing serious, life just got...... busy. I'm back and hopefully on a more regular basis as I miss my blog!


1. My first baby went to Kindergarten! I was one of those moms that followed the school bus all the way to school, crying my eyeballs out! My baby's not a baby anymore!!!


2. With my first baby in full day Kindergarten, I was able to spend some quality one-on-one time with my second baby. We made crafts, went to playdates, made smoothies, and spent a lot of time outdoors playing and laughing!

3. I started working part-time from home! Yes, I actually have a job promoting and establishing a very artsy enrichment after-school class for kids. So far I love it! Very flexible! I don't own the company, but check out their website: www.noodleclass.com


4. I got roped into organizing another Holiday Bazaar. I had a lot of fun, though, working together with a good friend, but then I started to feel a little over-extended...(why do I have this need to do a lot of things?)

5. I started volunteering for my son's Kindergarten class......

6. I decided to be active in my son's school's PTA ......YA!!!!

7. Oh and then I was put on bed rest because to put it simply, the baby could come out too early if I stay on my feet. Totally turned my life upside down!

8. I had to adjust to my new situation - tried to run the ship with a 5 year old and a 2 1/2 year old from the couch - not easy.


9. Despite the bed rest, I was crazy enough to continue planning and organizing the Holiday Bazaar from the couch.


10. I was even more crazy to organize and host a Halloween Party for the kids and their friends on our street. Fall is my favorite season and I didn't want to be indoors for most of it!!!


11. I had to give up my craving for sweets because I found out I had gestational diabetes! If anything, it made me eat healthier.....I guess....


12. What's crazier, I decided to continue with an older blog (please check it out: www.thewahmspot.com) but I'm having fun!


13. And on top of all this I decided to start up my holiday biz, Sprout Mail (go check it out too: www.sproutmail.com), sending letters from Santa.


Who said bed rest was boring? Lol.....so I've been on bed rest for 2 months now and I have 2 more weeks until my baby is considered full term! In two weeks I'm going to get off this couch and dance! LOL!
