Future Mom Blogger

What happens to the generation that is raised in the time of Mom Bloggers??

Here is Madal talking about being a mom to her Angelina mouse. Unfortunately I missed the beginning of her conversation where she was telling me how she got Angelina's outfit on clearance for $2. Anyway... here is the future of Mom Blogging.

(So sorry for the unmade bed)

Outside the Bag

Having kids, most of the time, the least expensive way to buy bedding is to do one of those "bed in a bag" sets. One stop shop, all for a low price. I LOVE a low price and I live for a deal, but I also desire more character in my rooms. I find the bed in a bag approach to be cute, but a little generic for me. Like this:

So I took the window valance out of the girls set and came up with some other uses for it.

My first project was OH SO long ago. Remember this one...

Matching doll quilts are still a favorite.

Next I framed some fabric, so simple and easy.

My third idea I got from a cute little blog. I think these fabric letters are so stickn cute!!

Last, thanks to craft and cocktails night, a little Mosh Posh, paint and canvas.

Note: Not loving my first attempt, but my second try... I LOVE!!

My girls do love kits!!

F Words

I love all the monogram crafts that are out on pinterest right now and I love the look that my friend have in there house when they display their last name in fun and creative ways.
I just love the look!!

I feel that with the last name of Freed having a giant F in my house would not be cute and playful, but look a little more like this...

FAIL, FLOP, FEARFUL...

With this in my mind I try and resist the urge to jump on the monogram bandwagon of cuteness. Instead I went to the store to buy a H and M for the girls room (I will reveal that soon!!) and while I was there and fighting the urge to buy a F, I picked one up..... "Why do you want an F, Mom?" Hannah asked. "Why do you think, Hannah?" I answered, sure that she would instantly answer FREED!! "Ummmm" she thought, "FUN!" she blurted out. "Nooooo" I said shocked that she didn't think of the obvious. "Friend" she tried again. "Fancy, Fantastic!"

My innocent, positive and sweet little girl, THANK YOU! I realize that it is not the letter F that is the problem, it is where my heart is, that is the problem. My heart aches everyday with the thought that my body Failed to carry our third child to term. All of my hopes and plans for the year came Falling down and I am left Fearful of what will come. Will I ever become pregnant again? FAILING FEAR... Will this just happen again, if I do become pregnant? FEAR!

We are Freed, and we are Fun and Fantastic and we will Flurish. We will be Fearless because God has our Future in his hands.

So in an effort to change my heart I bought the letter F.

I think it looks Fabulous!
