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:

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...

The long version & his name

I started working on this post on Wednesday, but I've been sick with a cold and desperately trying to get rest, so here it is Friday and I'm finally finishing it up! Monday morning I woke up with a sore throat and a cough. I thought I had escaped getting sick like Darren and Lila, but I wasn't feeling great so I slept in until 9am. Me and Lila hung out at home resting all day Monday. I spent so much time on the couch in the living room that I started sketching and making decorating/rearranging plans for the living room. I pinned curtain and art ideas on Pinterest and started pricing out my plans. When a friend invited Lila over for a play date on Tuesday, I started making plans for hitting up the craft store and beginning my living room makeover the next day. After Darren got home and we got Lila to bed, I found some energy and began rearranging the living room and straightening up the house. Then at 10:30pm I decided to do a short yoga practice, took a shower at 11, ...
