Trying to be crafty again....

Well since I have joined Pinterest, I have seen so many crafts that I want to try. So, I decided to take a few things that I have seen and combined them together. I had fun doing this, and it made me want to become crafty again, since it has been a little bit since I have crafted.
So to make this rather simple craft, you need:
-Cardboard letter (of your choosing) (I got mine at Hobby Lobby for $2.50)
-Dot Confetti (Hobby Lobby $2.00) There was a whole bunch of colors, I got a combo of black and white with different sizes
-Hot glue or any type of glue, (I used a glue stick)
-Lacquer spray

Make a pattern with the dots if you have more than one color (I tried doing a checker board, didn't really work like that but it looks awesome).
Make sure you glue each dot on separately, they will stay on better then putting a strip of glue down.
Once you have covered the amount of letter you want to with dots, spray the lacquer on the help keep the confetti on, and it even adds a little shine. It would be fun to add glitter to it at this point depending on what you want to use it for.
If you want to hang it, staple ribbon to the top, or back, it adds that much more too it!
So it really is super easy, and ANYONE can do it! I promise you!

What being in college has taught me

I know I have been terrible at writing on my blog the past couple of months. School has engulfed my attention and honestly blogging has been the last on my priority list. I wanted to write blog about my college experience... since I graduate in 53 days. I am thrilled beyond words to be this close to being done. I had know idea it would feel like this nor that it would come so soon. In just a few short months I will be able to call myself a graduate of Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Community, also being eligible to become CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist) certified. Wow what a mouthful! Being in college was not like I expected, it was much more. I have been through the worst of worst and the best of best experiences. I would like to share with you what I have learned in the past four years (From beginning to end), I hope you can get a good laugh about it. To those who have yet to start college, I strongly encourage you to start thinking about going. You w...

Poppy's Birth Story

I can't believe I am writing this. Having Poppy seemed so surreal until I was in labor and then holding her. Having a second baby, especially our Poppy Rae has been a huge blessing and I can't wait to see what our future brings. I hope you can enjoy her birth story, it's very different from Evie's. October 21, 2019 (36+4) I had an NST in the late afternoon, and Poppy passed with flying colors, giving results very quickly. I had felt off the whole day, but powered through, as I thought it was just the end of being pregnant. I was extremely tired, I had a headache, I was contracting, and I felt like I could throw up at any moment, not to mention right upper rib pain, and low blood sugars. I made dinner and still tried to do things that I knew I didn't have the energy for. Spencer got home later than usual that night and I knew as soon as he got home I should call my doctor to see if I should go in. Sure enough, they wanted me to come in. We dropped Evie off at my p...

Life as we know it...crazy!
