30 Day Challenge

So I had alot of running around to do today in the rain. Jake got his braces off, got his haircut, then had to get some moss letters done. So during all this, I stopped to grab some lunch at McDonalds and it was great...until I was done and then I felt miserable. It got me thinking of all the processed foods and calories and the saying "you are what you eat" So I text my bff Jessica and told her about my 30 day challenge and now I want to offer the challenge to you guys...Starting May 1st, for 30 days, NO FAST FOOD. This was such a huge challenge that Jessica had to call me several times to see if pizza was the same as fast food lol Im just sick of feeling gross. If you are up to it, weigh yourself the morning of May 1st and write it down. Plan menus and grocery shop for a couple of weeks to make sure you have everything you need and wont be tempted to eat out. Resturants are okay and we determined pizza was ok but other than that, FAST FOOD IS OFF LIMITS. I cant wait to feel better and look leaner :) Until next time...

April Showers bring May Flowers :)

Hey guys..hope everyone had a Happy Easter! We had a great time with family but these storms are getting on my nerves. May 1st is around the corner so I better see some flowers and none of this rain. I think after the Nashville floods, us Tennesseans are a little afraid of rainfall..especially when it lasts 3 days. On a happy note, me and Jessica are having so much fun with Two Mother Hens. We are creating some fun things we have wanted to do and I think our kids will have enough applique shirts to last them a lifetime lol. I have also tried to get some things done here in the house. I have been lusting over some bathroom art from The Land of Nod but in no way could be paying the prices. So with my new cricut, I created this...

Isnt it the cutest! Cant wait to hang it in my boys bathroom. I am having a blast with the cricut. Not sure what I did with my life before it lol Well, Im off to make more stuff. Until next time...

And the winner is....

Well guys, I did it! After much research and pricing and more research and talks with Jessica's mom, I made the choice and craigslist came to the rescue. I decided to get a Jenome brand sewing machine and wouldnt you know that an ad popped up for one in my area for a really good price. So I got it. Meet my very first sewing machine...

Isn't it the cutest??? Im so excited to start helping with the sewing projects at Two Mother Hens. Ive also fallen in love with all the different patterns of fabrics. I swear I would have 500 throw pillows in my house if my husband would let me. lol I will post a picture of my firsts completed project :) Until next time...

Rosettes and Wreaths

Happy Thursday! This week has been super crazy busy trying to get things up and going with Two Mother Hens. I cant begin to thank everyone for their support and the orders are starting to pour in. whoop whoop I finally have a reason to make wreaths and rosettes. I love rosettes. I made one for a moss letter and now Im addicted. I have made a headband and I want to make some hair clips and some for a picture frame. I even included them on this cute argyle wreath I made...

Isnt that the cutest?!?!?! In the mean time, Im counting down the days until the kids get out of school. Im so ready for day trips and playdates. But with summer also comes Jake's surgery. I know things will go well so please keep him in your prayers. Until next time...
