I love having a family but I also need a space for me...hence the site

I love photography, painting and pretty much anything using the left-side of the brain

I'm not enjoying my chosen profession right now so I'm in search of my calling. I've attended a 'visualizing' workshop to help figure out what it is that I want to be when I grow up

So far I've got...nothing

Maybe this site will provide some inspiration.

Full house...



kids Canon Digital Rebel

We took care of 4 extra kids this weekend.  My 3 nephews and one niece. 
It sounds like a lot having 6 kids in the house but it actually wasn't that bad.
I thought it would be a lot more hectic then it was.
Don't get me wrong...it was hard, and we were constantly cleaning AND it ultimately helped us realize that our decision to only have 2 kids was a very smart thing to do....BUT it was fun to have all those little people running around. 
My nine year old nephew was a big help and all the kids (the rest of them are 5.5 years and younger!) LOVE him, so they just followed him around a lot. 

So, though I don't think we'll be planning a weekend like that any time soon, it was nice to know that we were able to do it and no one got hurt and, most importantly, everyone came out of the weekend alive! 

ps...they didn't sleep on the floor in the family room...we had just set up a movie....just didn't want you to think we were horrible people.

Hi Jen. I think you are brave, of course, for taking on that challenge.

Do you find that kids when they get together do tend to take care of each other? I guess there are many variables in that equation. I just think about my boyfriend's son who is an only child and there is no one to entertain him but us sometimes. I know the son wishes he had siblings

........ but then I worry about "mob mentalities".

Have a good weekend.
