They Call Me Mom

Thats me, Mom.. I have had that name for over 10 years... it doesn't seem that long, yet it seems like its always been that way..

I am a busy body.. I am usually doing two things at once.. on a good day 3 or 4.. as I type this I am also chatting with my sister in law, reading another blog and stopping to make sure lunch is rolling smoothly along..

When I am not working or doing mommy stuff ( or playing on the internet) I do other stuff to keep busy

I have many hobbies, and many things I 'd like to learn.. I love photography and have done a bit digital scrap booking. I also like designing websites although my knowledge of most programs is limited. I did make most of the graphics and the layouts on my blogs. I also make jewelry and dog bows ( they can be kid bows too!) I have dabbled in paper scraping and rubber stamping..I tried sewing and have realized that quits are the only thing I should work on.. they are beautiful and have straight lines. I can do that! So quilts are on my list of "projects I should do more often"

I am also the great organizer.. I love stacking boxes, shelves and other such ways to organize and store items.. I could spend days doing projects like that.. I am actually considering doing it professionally part time.

I also spend my time "doing the coupon thing" I love it but some days it frustrates the heck outta me.. I do have a pretty good food storage but its not as much as I'd like. I do not cook ( well I do, people just prefer I dont) but my family does. And there's alot of them, so I need to find the best deals on food. I do want to cook from scratch more and learn to can. I am not musically inclined nor will I ever be.. and I accept that LOL

So theres a little bit about me.. for now.

    Liked your post on the other blog - tried to comment - but was unsuccessful. But good job on the savings!!! I'd brag too!!! Of course most families don't need those amounts of things - but sounds like a success and I love getting a good deal too and sharing my fortunes!!!
