Panic Rush

Panic Rush

Many that are out and look into my life assume that I have it all together….NEWS FLASH…not true!!

It’s probably because I have so much on my plate and I must do it all. Delegation is not my strong suite.

So as I sit here at the Salon waiting my turn I get this surge of Panic,  flight tomorrow 2 kids myself and I still haven’t packed!!

I have made lists and lists of things I need to get done and it seems like I’ve only grazed the surface.

Trying to calm myself down I get this warmth as I turn to my phone, turn on my WordPress App and go to my virtual therapist. …my blog.

A place I believe where either can say what I want, and if I’m being judged I wouldn’t know it:)

So to all those out there that get these panic moments you are not alone! Even those that may seem as though they have it together get there too.

Only solice is that we go through life Making Life Memorable the best we can and hope we stay sane along the way.

Unique Prints

Unique Prints

I always have a soft spot for personalization and customization.

There’s nothing more special than something with your name on it or made exactly to your design.

Be it an invitation, a greeting card, gift tag, stationary, monogramed pillows or even mug with a family picture on it. There’s always one site that I just love to go to get these items and that’s Tiny Prints

I can spend hours and hours just looking at the site before even choosing something because every single item there is something I want to own.

Wouldn’t you love an iPad case with pictures of your kids on it?? The lovely thing is you can subscribe and get notifications on deals they have.

Right now they’re having a sale of up to 30% off!! so exciting, I can’t wait to get ordering!!

So what’s your favorite item in Tiny Prints
worth Making Life Memorable?

October Fun

October Fun

Its October and the countdown of every even in my life has began.

You might laugh but this is no laughing matter for me…it’s serious and crunch time has officially started with events galore on the horizon.

This is the time when I bring out the iPad and crank up my pins on Pinterest. Whether I do them all or just a few is besides the point. I know they’re there and I’m confident that I’ll eventually get around to it.

October is the beginning of Fall in my book and the preparation of costume season for Halloween.

One of my favorite things to do is have little crafting sessions with the girls with “Fall Themed” crafts.

I’m not sure how we’re going to do it this year with Jennah being in 3rd grade and overworked between homework and activities. But I really hope that I’ll get around to doing something fun like this with the girls.

Leaf

I would love to go around in our Garden and have the girls collect all sorts of Leaves from the ground.

I’d probably bring down some paint and have them dip the leaves in the paint and make imprints on Paper. Maybe even glue the leaves too. Have actual leaves and imprints would look pretty and introduce them to different “Mediums”.

CUPCAKE
 
 
 
 
 
 
Off course always on the agenda is baking and decorating cupcakes…. These are a few of the designs we’ve made in the past.

It’s time to get more creative and see what the girls can come up with this year….

Perhaps we can make a whole graveyard?? Who knows….

 
 
 
 
 
 

All this aside this month requires a great deal of creativity and skill because it’s off course costume season for the whole family!!

I think we’ve done every kids of costume from purchasing to making….and it’s time we go all over it again….

Here’s a few samples of what we’ve done in the past and I can’t wait to get started all over again!
COSTUMES

I’ve always wanted to have a little Halloween even of my own but with our November birthdays and Christmas preparations I’ve always thought it’s overloading myself.

pumpkin
But we do have one major tradition that we always do and that’s the carving of the pumpkin…. We all go to Sultan and buy a really nice American pumpkin and get all creative in carving it.

Off course Zeenah is assigned to gut it all out, while Jennah is the one that draws out the design and I have the pleasure of carving it all out.

I would like to get more creative and do several pumpkins but unfortunately they don’t last very long because of the heat and they do start to smell.

Maybe this time around we can Paper Mache a Pumpkin…or several pumpkins.

There are just so many ideas that I can’t wait to try out ad share with all my readers. And hopefully in this process I help in Making Life Memorable for you too!!
