OK starting today I am going to try to really use this blog as a release. Just what i intended to do when i started it. I recently found (thanks to my love of pinterest) an AMAZING blog. She is a wonderful writer and an amazing mother and although I know that all that glitters is not gold... Her life seems amazingly beautiful through her amazing photographs. OK Ive used the word amazing enough in the last few sentences. :) If you have never been introduced to the world of Kelle Hampton, Allow me. http://www.kellehampton.com
  take some time to stop by and check out her life, you wont be sorry... I promise. And so now I must say reading her blog has been truly inspiring to me. She makes me want my own life to be more beautiful and to be a better mom and to just look at life with an entirely different perspective. Which I vow to try and do. My girls are 11. Getting ready to start middle school and this all saddens me. I know I should not feel that way but I do. I should look at their lives and be glad and proud of the young women they are becoming, And I do... BUT, It makes me long for the younger years. No, by no means do I miss the diapers and bottles but I do miss all of the years that I didn't really take the time to ENJOY those times. Yes, I know I was present and I know that I loved and cared for my children. They were fed, loved, clean and happy but I will be honest with all of you. I never really stopped so smell the roses so to speak. I never took the time to truly look into each moment and savor it with all that I am, and I regret that. Life missions are a funny thing. Like new years resolutions. We always start out with good intentions but often times have a hard time following through. I once read that it takes 21 days of doing something repetitively before it becomes a habit or part of your life. I need to try to do this with my girls and my husband and my blogging. If I can get into the "habit " of cherishing moments to the best of my ability ,and get into the "habit" of blogging, maybe I will feel like I have accomplished something . Won't you come along with me? Please know that I am new to this and don't have that many followers but if you enjoy ANY of what you read here please let me (and some friends) know! Hoping that  can put some oil on my rusty start.:)

Whew! its been a while since I've posted anything to my blog. I promise I'll try to get better at this.
My twin girls just started 5th grade. WOW that just seems  crazy to me, It may sound cliche to say this but it seems like it was just yesterday that they were starting kindergarten. It really does, there are so many moments that we take for granted in everyday life. I think every day that i wake up i tell myself that I'm going to try to be a better mother to my kids. No I don't think that i am a bad mom, I just think that i could be a better one. You know, fix better meals, Not loose my Patience, Spend more time with them, Not harp on them so much about how messy their room is... the list goes on and on. I don't think we would be human if we didn't think about these things. I heard once that if you are ever doubting that you are a good mom, then more likely than not, you ARE a good mom. It's usually the ones who don't care that are the ones that should. Day to day, year to year, we cant turn back the clock so let's try to make the most of the days we do have. Till next time guys!

New Years Eve

Alright, in about 8 hours it will be 2012. WOW! I cant believe it. 2011 FLEW by. My girls will be entering the world of double digits in 18 days. Holy cow that does not seem possible.  Makes me happy and sad at the same time. Tonight on the agenda me and the hubs are going to a concert in a night club.  I'm stoked but the hubby, It's not so much his thing. My wonderful parents are kid sitting and my wonderful mom has even offered to take both of us and pick us up as DD.  Wow. how many people can say that? I can, and lots lots more when it comes to my mom. So far I'm liking this blog thing. Hope I can keep up with it.  Well off to do some laundry. Yep me doing laundry Imagine that! Cant do any tomorrow so gotta get it done!

New Years Resolutions.

Ahhh. Ive got so many. where do i begin.  Well first and foremost is a BIG one  for me. Laundry. yep i know... sounds stupid but I'm telling you that laundry is the bane of my existence. I can never keep it up and i can never keep it off the love seat. So that's my big one. I want to try to from now on NOT put the laundry on the love seat. I'm gonna try my best to fold it and put it away right from the dryer.   HAHAHA   here's to hoping so anyway.  The next is to being a better mom. I know there are alot of moms out there who say this but I'm really gonna try. My kids know that i love them, they are fed clothed and clean they have everything they need and I'm active in their school life but i am going to try to give them more of me. Sounds simple enough but we all know that its so easy to say "In a minute" or "not right now" I really need to try to remove those phrases from my vocabulary.  Wish me luck!

Day 1: I've never done this before

Well after looking into a lot of other people's blogs lately I decided that i would jump on the band wagon. I have no idea how often i'll post or what I will post about for that matter. I named this blog "Releasing Me" because I feel like i need and outlet for my thought ideas and projects that I want to get started on and this way I can get feedback, good and bad form people I know and some I don't so I'm ready to get started on this "blogging journey. Come with me if you will!
