Moving


Originally uploaded by ((Kristin))


I don't know about you but I have a love/hate relationship with the moving process. So much packing and then unpacking!!! Oh the work and the countless hours. As you pack you continue to ask yourself, "when did I acquire so much stuff?" or "where did this come from? or my favorite "there you are! I been looking forever"

Yes moving is both exciting and painful. I like having a new place to live and decorating it and making it my own. I dislike the packing but everything else is okay. I also try to think of it as detox for my room and closet, I am getting rid of things that I didn't remember I had and don't need or won't use ever again.

Oh moving, packing, so much to do!

Happy Mother's Day


The First Presidency issued a statement: Motherhood,' they wrote, 'is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to the angels.
Because mothers are essential to God’s great plan of happiness, their sacred work is opposed by Satan, who would destroy the family and demean the worth of women.' " Russell M. Nelson, “Our Sacred Duty to Honor Women,” Ensign, May 1999, 38

Happy Mother's Day!!!
To all the women, who have had the divine privilege to become mother's may God continue to bless you and give you the strength necessary to do all that you do. May He give you the grace and ability to love even in the most difficult of times.

Vacation Destination: Punta Cana


 I took this picture when I went to Santo Domingo about 2 years ago.
I am going back in July, it is about time for a vacation!!! 
The Island is amazing, the skies picture perfect and the people are very nice. 

REMEMBER: taking breaks is good. Not everything needs to get done today, right now.

Cupcakes

I might be a little obsessed with cupcakes!
They are just so cute and so much fun to bake. 

Weather in Chicago is blah! it is May 06 and it is probably in the mid 40s, what else can I expect from this city?!

REMEMBER: You define what is BEAUTIFUL!!!
