Good Morning,
I’m Lindsey, and my blog has been up for a few years
now, but I could never really figure out what about my life was interesting
enough to write about. I don’t have
my dream career and I hate to say I’ve put
school on hold until I can make enough room for it in my schedule. I pretty much just find myself working Monday
through Friday 8-5 with the rest of my daily energy devoted to my 5 year
old.
I think I have it in me to be the woman that balances
School, Career, and Motherhood. It’s just
right now I would be the one that balances expensive babysitting and book fees,
low-paying job, and single motherhood. Not
so appealing. Plus, I want to be
involved as much as I can in my daughters activities.
I believe it is so important to try new things and put
yourself out there. You learn so much
about yourself and other people and your perspective on others changes and you
grow to understand and respect more and more.
I’m spoiled and shy, with my little bitty bubble, I have
grown to become socially awkward.
I have wrapped myself up in my own life most of my
life and now… I just want
out. I love the idea of saying “I’ve done
that!” So my goal is
trying new things, meeting new people, committing to something new and finishing
it. No one is perfect and there are no
perfect parents. I was not a kid person
before Molly and sometimes I just don’t know
how to handle situations.
I’ll be honest her homework sometimes confuses and
frustrates me, already, and we are just in Kindergarten. I can’t
understand how we read a word one night and the next it’s like
I put Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious on the paper and asked her to read
it. It’s frustrating,
but that is exactly why I am not a kindergarten teacher.
I have the upmost respect for kindergarten teachers. But because I don’t have
10 years of 20 different Kindergartners each year, I’m not
exactly sure what is normal or what is expected at a certain time.
Patience is something to work on and I’m
working on myself every single day, so for inexperienced or clueless moms I’m lucky
they have all of these easy ways that I can be involved in extra
activities. I’m not
just putting myself in activities for her; I’m
taking on new challenges for me personally.
I’m accepting challenges and I’m
learning.
I want my awkward bubble to burst. I want experience. I want to be happy. I want to be the best I can be. This leads me to my blog… This is something I’ve
wanted to do for a while. I don’t really
have a set topic. Just different things
that I do with my time. Different
experiences and advice… little things to big things. Random things you probably don’t care
to read about and possibly the best most incredible thing on the internet
I’m planning my best friends Gender Reveal Party this
Friday. The theme is Bowties or
Bows. Seriously the cutest thing
ever. We’ve
gotten our supplies at so many different places and done some pretty neat
things on a tight budget.
Just going to share with you how we did these
things.
The first are the bow and bowtie pins for everyone to
wear once they cast their vote

We were up doing this at 1 in the morning so we were
extremely tired and wanted something simple and easy.
I really didn’t care
if my lines were straight and to me it looked better that way. Or at least the same.
Step 1.
On ANY piece of draw ANY size hourglass shape.
Step 2.
Cut
out the shape and fold each side over towards the center to create
Step 3.
Staple the two flaps at the center to create the
bow. Then get a ribbon and wrap around
the center covering the staple then tie it to the back.
(This was an impromptu bow that I made at work and all
that I had was a pink rubber band)
Step 4.
We were gluing these to clothespins and we just
hot-glued the bow on the back and stuck it on
Good to go quick and breezy
This is everything we made the other night and I’ll post
how tos on those as well.
But the bows are on the right side.
Check them out…
