CN Tower Climb....
Last year I climbed the CN Tower. For those of you that don't know the CN Tower is one of the largest free-standing structures in the world. It is very similar to the Space Needle for comparison. It is a 1,776 step climb to the top! Last year I did it with little training in 56 minutes! Though this year I hope to just finish again (You really don't have any choice once you start you have to finish) I do hope I can do better then the previous year!
This climb is not just for fun though! It is for the support of the WWF (World Wildlife Foundation). A fantastic group who's work helps support animals all over the world.
Please if you can help support not only my climb but the WWF and donate. If you can't donate money, then your time in the climb or in volunteering for the event itself! There are many ways to give back!
Thank you for your support in any way you can give it!

2012 Word....
So my word for this year I decided with be create. But thus far I have not created a single thing. I started a drawing, and didn't finish. Haven't done any earrings thus far, and haven't painted a thing. Haven't created the house I want to live in, or anything else for that mater. I haven't even created habits I am happy with.
So far this is not going as planned!

What I would love to hear from others... so I will tell it to myself....
"You have the hardest job on the planet. It is thankless, tireless, physically and mentally draining. Your children will never truly know how hard it is till they are parents and even then they are boys so I think it will be different. Your children will never thank you for making them pick up their toys, or making them brush their teeth. Your husband doesn't understand that some days you just want to hear that he hears you. You are allowed to be tired. You are allowed to want to quit from time to time. You are allowed to want a day off. You may not get those things but you are allowed to want them."

Anthropoligie Wish List!
I love to 'window shop' online! Was wondering the Anthropoligie site and found these beauties!
Anthropoligie Wish List! by RainSoul featuring glass jewelry
Kids Room Tools
So these are the tool used for what I did to the kids room!
A compass!
A level!
Paint!
A compass!
A level!
Paint!
I used Behr Apple Core for the walls. Painting several coats over a dark green and taupe. For the accent colors I used CIL Falling Rain, Sunshower, and Woodley.
I started with a random sized circle with the compass, drew a line parallel, or horizontal, connecting with more circles. I then filled in with paint by hand. It really didn't take too long! Painting the room the main color took the longest. The kids seem to love it! In a month I can put up the vinyl letters I have for them on the wall I left just apple core.
What I used to create my kids room.

Artful Blogging is always introducing me to new ways to think about art and how to showcase it as well as to many beautiful artists and fantastic blogs!
Belle Armoire Jewelry also is great for new ideas on how to use my jewelry products in new ways. I have started working on several new things! Updates to follow!

Not so inspired...
So as of late I have been fairly drained. I have been meaning to post for days and just have not feeling it. I've been trying to redesign the blog but it's still not how I want it yet.
I had a great Saturday with my best friend. We went to the spa in the morning and got pedicures and facials. Then we went downtown and looked at wedding dresses for her and bead shops for me! I got some great metal working tools which I will be working with.
I did do the first weeks assignment for Bowl of Lemons, I just am having a hard time keeping organized this week with my thoughts and plans. Not really sure why! I am working on week two but I can not seem to get inspired. No mater what I do I am overwhelmed by the front hall. I have tried to organize it multiple times. Is there anything I can do when it is winter and I have three small kids and all the stuff that goes with them?
I will try to update more. Later.
On a positive note Chris got me a month pass to a hot yoga club to start whenever I want. I just need to figure out when I have the motivation to start going and when it wont conflict with lmy trip to Oregon! (Which I can not wait for)

Happy New Year!
Hello internet universe! I haven't posted in a while! I do have a good reason though...
Baby Malcolm and myself Nov 27th 2010 (Day after he was born!)
Baby Malcolm's first Christmas!
So Malcolm was born Nov 27th. 8 lbs 6 oz. He is a fairly easy baby (We were blessed with all easy babies)! The other two are adjusting well and can't wait to share their toys and games with him! Christmas was great. My mother visited, my sister had her twins, we stayed with the in-laws most of the winter break, and in general had lots of help and rest. Both of which were fantastic to have! I hope I can find the time to post more this year. I am also planning to get back into yoga and regular exercise since I was pregnant most of last year! I hope all of you had a great holiday season and a great new year!

Snowflakes and Snowmen!
Though we have not really had any snow here yet! (Not counting the small flurries on Halloween!) I love this program on Better Homes and Garden's website. Makes me want to get decorating!
