Summer Blog Challenge ~ Days 19, 20, 21, 22, & 23


Ugh!! You would think I could keep up with this, but it seems I am perpetually behind on it. So bear with  my catching up today.

Day 19 ~ Something you are proud of from the last few days.

I had little trouble at all thinking about this one. I know exactly the answer, driving for 2 hours on our trip Thursday. That may not seem like a big deal to most of you , but since I have not driven since December of last year until now it's a big deal to me. I love to drive and not being able to for such a long time was hard. I loved being behind the wheel again. I am looking forward to even more driving now!

Day 20 ~ Photo of you as a child.

This picture was taken of me when I was between 18 & 24 months. It's my Mom's favorite picture of me as a kid.

 Day 21 ~ Most recent words of wisdom you have heard that stuck with you.

I know some of you are going to think this is strange but the thing that has stuck with me the most lately is Shop At Home First. It sounds strange doesn't it? But what it means is before you go out and buy something you think you need is there anything you already have at home, and may have forgotten about, that would work just as well as what you want to buy? I can't tell you how much money this has saved me!! 

Day 22 ~ When I was a kid, what did I want to be when I grew up?

Easy, a wife an mom!! Seriously, deep inside all I ever wanted to be was a wife and mom. I grew up in a time though when women were supposed to break free and become something more. You were supposed to focus on having a career to "define" who you were. So I trained and studied to be a Psychologist. NOT what I wanted at all!! I really wanted nothing more than to take care of a husband and kids and my home. So it was tough on me because society was pushing one thing and my insides were screaming  that wasn't for me. But I am thankful that most of my adult life I have been able to be exactly what I always wanted to be, a wife and mom. Of course I am still not sure if I am grown up yet, so who knows what the future may hold. LOL!!

Day 23 ~ Favorite blog post you've written before this challenge.

My favorite post is one from long ago, back when I was posting about my stamping hobby and my life. I hope you enjoy reading it. I may just have to try and post a few more of my stamping and art projects. it has been a while and I do love to be creative!


So tell me what did you think? Be honest, I can take it!!
