I know it seems overwhelming....

    Sometimes it takes alot to handle everyday life with kids, let alone having to try and have fun while doing it. Motherhood is by far the most complicated job out there,and is still the most rewarding. You know the saying " no pain, no gain". There is hope though, I promise.  With just  a little time and effort, you can have a great time raising your kids.  

    I believe that we all start out with a vision of what we want or think life is susposed to be like. Then we grow up and start our life.  Soon after that you realize those hopes and dreams are still a little farther away than we thought, and our perfect picture is all messed up. First you find your mate, and thats a story in itself, theres always something going on with that, I mean the list goes on and on. And now you have finally worked out all the kinks there, when BAM!, here comes a baby to get things all mixed up again. Now talk about visions, what happened to the "cute little baby"?  

    Well as many of us have learned that the "cute baby" comes with more than cuteness! There is crying and diapers, no sleep ,and that one thing they call sex,you may soon forget what that is like. So now it seems as if your dreams have all gone down the drain. Not  yet, there is still hope, it may not seem like it but there is.

      I also know that most of the people out there offering advice have no experience at all, they simply went to school and now they are certified in life. Wrong, no amount of schooling or reading will prepare you for running a family. Notice I said running, because having a family is like having a business, there is always a need for management!  Now, don't take that the wrong way, you will learn alot from reading, but it doesn't tell you how to DEAL with things. Most of the advice will tell you to " have a night out", in the real world that is harder than it sounds.

     I have tried many different things trying to find happiness, and I have failed many times, leaving myself more disappointed than before.  On my journey I have learned one thing, I'm only happy when everyone else is happy.  Now, how is one person susposed to make everyone happy? Its hard. There is no easy way around it, getting things on track is very difficult. But do not be discouraged, it is possible,and you don't have to spend a fortune doing anything.

     I will be posting new things weekly. These are ideas,crafts,activities,birthday parties,cakes and much more.  I will be posting things I have done with my own kids, and anything I do usually has little to no cost involved, and are really possible, unlike alot of crafts and things you see other places. I will also share other basic information and personal stories. I hope I will be of some help to someone!
