Project 52: Week 6

Project 52: Week 6

Another week has come and gone... 

This week we rediscovered an old park close to home. We hadn't been there in about a year and it was great to see all the changes yet a lot is left to fix. They put in real nice walking paths. We got to hang out outside and we even made a cute Valentines Day card. I drew the heart out on paper for munchkin and gave him glue and confetti. He put the glue on it and smeared it in the heart, then threw confetti all over it! (Fun for a boy to make a mess) Then he wrote Happy Valentines (oops "Day" didn't fit). Final touch was a couple of Valentine stickers. I am love with his Valentine and he was very proud of it too! 

I forgot to mention that I read "Warm bodies"! Yep! My sister had already read it a bunch of times and I told myself tonight is the night and I laid in bed reading until I finished it beginning to end. It wasn't too long so in a couple of hours (with breaks in between) I was done. I havent seen the movie yet, Have you? Did you read the book first? What did you think about this Zombie Love story? Share with me! 

Every week I will and have been sharing my Project 52. How is yours going?

Project 52: Week 4

Project 52: Week 4

A lot has been going on this week. Doctor appointments, colds all around the house, the sun came back to San Antonio and brought temperatures in the high 70's during winter making us Happy (we don't like the cold). But overall the sense of Hope! Hope that every things going to be OK, that life might be getting a little more normal again.

My dad had a bunch of labs done last week and we got the results this week. They were all good news! I want to Thank each and every one of you who sent us well wishes and hope, prayers and just for being there during my family's hard times. Thank you! It means a lot to me when people who don't know me in person would care to pray for us, your prayers mean more than words can say. After the cold previous week the sun came out in San Antonio and it brought warmth with it. So of course everyone was outside soaking up the sun! We played and hanged out with our pets.  I also started a very special project that I will let you know about soon. Its a great opportunity for me and I'm so excited about it. The pictures above are of my munchkin this week still with a cold but feeling alot better (yes thats an original Pokemon shirt we got at a thrift store), playing outside with his dinosaurs, one of our cats enjoying the sun and the waiting room where my munchkin spent most of his time with tia while grandpa was being seen by doctors (grateful they are kid friendly).

How was your week? Can you believe January is almost over and Valentines Day is just around the corner? Time really does fly! Are you doing a Project 52? Come share with me! There's always time to start so if you want to do one then go for it, It never hurts to try.

Project 52: Week 3

Project 52: Week 3

Hi there! This week has been such a tough week for us. Last week I wrote that I felt so blessed and you know what? No matter how hard this week has been for my family I still hold true to those words, Because we are blessed. We have food in the fridge, a roof that keeps us warm on these cold nights and a family that stands strong together through all the hardship. Right now our health may be affected but its nothing chicken soup and good rest cant fix. As for my dad, with care and good doctors and lots of antibiotics he will come out all the stronger and wiser from his pain.

This week we had to take my dad to the Hospital in an emergency. He had a huge wound on most of his lower leg. I would say about a Frisbee size if you could bend it (includes the redness around it). He had actually been hiding the wound from us behind pants and was only caught when he ran out of pants to hide in. He didn't want to bother us with his problems even though he is a diabetic with prior amputations, which makes any wound all that much more serious. The middle of his wound was now black and very serious. Doctors told us that if he had waited longer he could have lost his leg. Thank God he ran out of pants! We spent 2 days in the hospital with him and apparently took home with us a serious cold bug. So this week has been hospital stays and more doctor visits and plenty of medicine and so far 3 visits to the pharmacist. But we are all staying strong. This week is a test to our strength. So thats why I have hardly been online, Im either giving medicine or making soup or at a doctor appointment. 

Please send us all the good vibes you can and please if you or your loved ones are diabetic please treat every wound as if it meant your life, because it does. And dont hide your problems from your loved ones, they are there to help you when you need it most. The pictures above are from the doctor waiting room, munchkin reading new books (Thanks to Barefoot Books contest) and starting a vision/inspiration board. 

Project 52: Week 2

Project 52: Week 2

Hi there! Every Saturday I will be posting my Project 52. This is my second week trying this out so im still getting use to it.

This week after all the rain the sunshine finally came out and it was beautiful! We went outside and soaked up the sunshine. We painted alot this week and I made 2 Valentines crafts using recyled tp rolls. I feel so blessed this January and I want to keep feeling that way. Sending positive vibes out there!

Project 52 Week 1: The beginning of 2013

Project 52: Week 1

So I have decided to start a project 52. What is a project 52? I recently had someone explain it to me that a Project 52 is a way to capture your year one week at a time in glimpses through photo. This is my first try at it so I'm feeling a bit iffy about doing it but I thought of it as a good opportunity to try something new. Plus it will be a challenge to see if I can finish a year. There are many versions on how to do this that range from a craft challenge a week to goals in steps and more but mine is going to be my week in review for a year. There are no rules so this works best for me.

So here it goes:

For this first week We rang in a new Year.. Happy 2013! My sister turned 22 on New years (pictured on the bottom the lucky New Years Baby). Its been so cold in SA so we havent left the house all week, we have been getting comfy with our pillows and blankets instead. Luckily I had some fun come to me when I got in the mail some awesome things I won in 2 different giveaways. I won some books for munchkin and lots of paint supplies for us to create some art. Looks like we will be painting up a storm soon!

Please let me know if you have done a Project 52, any tips would be greatly appreciated. If you are currently starting one as well and want to link up then let me know!
