Marriage isn't always a sham :)

I know last time I blogged I said I was going to hop back on the wagon but let me tell you, I have been busy!! Life just doesn't slow down for anything or anyone. I have been going to school 5 days a week. That's a lot more than last semester. I am truly loving it. In 3 days my husband and I are celebrating two years of wedded bliss! That's longer than most couples last in Hollywood. It is such a shame what marriage has become in our current times. I mean obviously no one takes their vows seriously anymore. I plan to stand next to my husband through the good, bad, and ugly! It is easy to just give up but it is hard to continue a marriage and be strong for one another. Marriage is not just about love. It's about so much more than that. Sure we have had some trying times but every experience is a learning one and I honestly wouldn't want to share that with any other individual other than my husband! He is my rock. Did you know that in Mexico they have passed a law where after you have been married for two years, your license expires? So you can either renew it or just walk away. How mind boggling is this? If you are unsure of marrying someone then don't do it! Often time young couples let puppy love cloud their judgement, they don't think logically, and they are still growing as a person. This are all aspects one must consider before marriage. OK sorry I am kind of ranting but it really peeves me how our country has let marriage become. I have to go to class but I VOW to you, my readers, I will start blogging at least once a week for the remainder of this year! I have so many viewers still and I appreciate you all! Leave a comment about your views of marriage. Have an awesome weekend!

Oh my the time has flown..

Being in school, taking care of a 19 month, and being the best wife I can be, that's where I have been! Oh also we moved. Things are crazy, hectic, and beautiful around here everyday! I have tons of posts I am trying to write so they will hopefully post once a week and then it won't be so lonely around here. Thanks for sticking with me. Now that finals are over I plan to stay pretty active on the blog. Also our current living place, while we wait for our house, has no oven. I need to learn new tips for cooking in a tiny kitchen. Happy Holidays everyone!!

DIY Crayons

So I was browsing cute birthday parties on the ever addicting pinterest and came across homemade crayons. They are everywhere. I had a brand new pack and thought why not I have everything I need. So while I waited for dinner to cook in the crockpot I melted crayons in the oven. Peeling crayons is not the easiest task and I have a few wounds from it. At first I just tried to peel them off an that was a no go. Next I thought what could cut or easily so I used the exacto knife. This is why I have wounds, lol. Be very careful when slicing the wrapper!! Do this all at one time. I used one box of 24. After I peeled them all I broke them in pieces and separated by colors. I made 14 heart shaped new crayons. Preset your oven to 400 degrees then turn it off. Place mold into oven after it is turned off. About 15 minutes later remove them from oven and let cool. Once harden pop them out and let your kiddo color away!



ps. this was my first post from the iPhone so hopefully everything looks okay.
