Such profound truth...

Zander and I were having a conversation the other day about being scared to try new things and here is what my little guy told me in his 4 year old wisdom :"Mom, I should not have to be scared to do things right, since God is always with me!" All I could do was give him a smile along with a big hug and a THOSE words :" you are absolutely right bug". Thank you Lord for giving my son a tender heart toward your spirit.

4 years ago....

I remember that day as if it was yesterday, and I have to give in to the cliche that you just never forget the day your child was born. It was the first day of the great unknown, nothing can prepare you for what lies ahead; birthing classes, parenting classes-none of it measures up. The moment they laid my son into my arms was the scariest yet most exciting day of my life. Now fast forward 4 years and we have reached the moment that Zander has turned 4 years old:) To be honest I still have a hard time wrapping my mind around that sometimes. 4 years old is still so little yet the accomplishments are astronomical, all that he has learned already, and all the things he continues to literally absorb into his being. I am grateful as I watch in amazement, grateful to have been given this little human person to raise and teach, to impart wisdom and traditions on, to giggle and cry with, to hug and to kiss. He is my big-little guy. This year he had asked for a Batman party and I was happy to oblige; invitations and banners were created, party colors chosen, special confetti cut for the table and just the right cake created (vanilla!!!-total surprise, as he is my little chocolate man:)

Zander was one excited 4 year old on the morning off, seeing his gifts on the table and it was a delight to watch as he ripped open each gift and fell in love with all that he received. He eagerly awaited his guests to arrive and played his little heart out when they were all here. It was a great party and Zander loved every moment of it. A big shout out to all who participated to make this day special for my special guy. Happy Birthday Zander 

Switching gears

I wanted to update this blog with some news relevant to this blog-wow that is a bit redundant:)
I have decided to switch gears a bit as to what I want this blog to be and to become. First change I have changed the name of this blog to "Our life homemade", please update this if you are following me. New spot on the web is http://www.ourlifehomemade.blogspot.com/  I have found that I am passionate about being a stay at home mom as well as all things basic and homemade. Therefor I decided to change the title of this blog along with the postings you can all expect in the future. Yes it will of course continue to be about my family, but in addition I will be blogging about things like recipes, products, finds, crafts; I will be posting tutorials about some of the things I do as well. In addition, I have created a You Tube channel and will be uploading videos in the near future- as soon as I figure all that editing stuff out :) My You Tube name is "cmatty25". 
I hope you will come and enjoy this blog and please feel free to leave questions, comments or even request about something you might want to hear or see about.


Love & Blessings
