So I've been super busy (as usual). 25+ hours of internship a week, 6 hours in class + 4 hours a week of study, 2 church callings, and trying to spend as much time as I can with my family and doing the usual stuff to care for them = exhausted Adria!

Even with all of that, I managed to get an A+ on my first spring exam, made some sweet baby hair accessories for my newest niece, Scarlett, succeeded at my small solo in church on Sunday, and I had the opportunity to get together with some local bloggers/artists on Saturday.

These are the goodies I made for baby Scarlett. I got the elastic from a great Etsy seller that you can find here.
I made a small variety of flowers from felt, chiffon, and yarn.

I was invited to a cookie tasting party (read more here) by Melissa Esplin, of the ISLY blog. The cookies were delicious and the company was equally good. It was really fun to meet one of my favorite local bloggers in person. Melissa is so talented and creative, but also a really down to earth mother of two. I also met several other amazingly talented bloggers. You should check out their blogs and get inspired like I have! Here are the the links:

All the emotions

By
Moving of course brings up all sorts of thoughts and feelings. As I declutter and go through all of our stuff I get distracted with the memories that items bring up. I've had moments of sadness and feeling like time flies far too quickly. But of all the feelings, the most overwhelming one has been joyful gratitude. All my reflections on these years here in Austin, and most especially this last year have made me realize how far I've come in my life. This year I have achieved just about all I could ever hope for in life. I've come to love life with all it's ups and downs. I've learned how to roll with the punches and keep my chin up when things get tough. I've truly learned to put myself at the top of the priority list. I have more of myself to give than ever before. I've learned how to give and receive friendship. I've come to love and accept myself as I am. I know I am stronger than ever (and not just my muscles, but truly I think I am physically at my...

Going private, send your e-mail to keep reading!!

Well, I've found out that a middle aged man has been coming on my blog and looking at pictures of my children.  I am obviously very uncomfortable with this, so it's time to go private. I'm happy to let any of you continue reading, as long as I know you and know you're not creepy! Just post your e-mail address and I'll add it to the list :o)

Lila is 2!!

By
Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read. Just kidding!! Just wanted to see if you were reading my post. Lila loves to learn, but she's not a genius (sorry sweetie--your genes aren't that good!). Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...
