Trying something new...

My very first blog post! I've wanted to do this for a while, but working full time as a clinical laboratory scientist and being a full time mommy to 2 precious and newly-adopted boys, makes my "me-time" sparse. I guess I should start with a little about me. Just became a first-time mom at 45...crazy right? I was a foster mom and God blessed my husband and I with these 2 cuties. We had been fostering them for a couple of years and were so fortunate to be able to adopt them. So I'm sure a lot of my posts will be about them.  I also want to blog about great music, movies, travel, scrapbooking, decorating, household products, recipes, and crafty stuff! There is so much that I'm interested in, I wish there were more hours in the day!
  I'm big-time into scrapbooking, not the digital kind, for me it's all about the layers and distressing stuff and collecting vintage ephemera. Hands on and hands dirty! I'm in the process of changing my current scrapbook nook into a mud room and changing my guest room into my new scrapbook room. I looooove decorating and have been buying old vintage cameras to decorate the new room. 
   I'm an outdoorsy girl and can already feel the urge to go camping with the first signs of spring coming on. When I say camping, I mean REAL camping, as in, in a tent. RVing is sooo not camping. There is nothing like the smell of a campfire, the taste of toasted marshmallows, and the sounds of crickets lulling you to sleep. I love nature and photographing it. My mom taught me things like watching fireflies and appreciating all of God's little creations.
  This first post will be relatively short, because my 2-yr old demands my attention, we gotta go "dance, momma, dance!" And I can't say "no" to that sweet little face and those big blue eyes. Why would I? Life is short, dance while you can!
