christmas spirit

I didn't go anywhere, but I was kind of busy lately. I had to take care of the children; no,no not my children, because I don't have any yet, but I have 32 children at kindergarten :)  I am kindergarten teacher :) not the maid one but the secondary  teacher.

The kids are soooo sweet! and it's a funny felling because they need all your attention and they take all your energy, but somehow they fill you with another kind of feelings and you go smiling on the way back home even if you barley stay on your feet.

we had a Christmas event and we all dressed romanian traditional  costumes. Oooo your heart melted down  just to see them and they sang carols ...such a magical moment


but today my intention was to show you how can decorate your home for  Christmas.

This items are handmade and you can buy them from me, or ask for some tips if you want to make them yourself  :)



see you soon  :)


love,

bless you

achoo!!! yes, I got a nasty cold and my dear husband took care of me. I stud in bed for 4 days, but yesterday I felt that I m healthy and I cooked something while Raz was working(or smth, but was not around)

I made him a surprise. I backed some muffins!!! I felt like a chef doing this CEF dessert <cheap, easy,  fast =))

But I had to do something new. Is not enough to do something normal, because it expected, I had to add some twist to it, so I had an idea. I made some printable things that I use like little labels. You will see in the pictures.

You think I don't know that is not a big thing...well...I know it, but this way my way telling my husband that I am sooo thankful that I have someone to take care of me and say nice things, make me laugh and make me feel beautiful even if I have a black circle around my eyes, and I snore and I have dry lips and...(you will forget last things that I sad about me when you will close the page :)) ).

Anyway, I am thankful about everything and this is how I know to show it!

thank you!

...food. reinventing food :)

I charge my batteries with a good portion of laughter, good mood and upside down house. My lovely husband was  hypnotise. he couldn't believe his eyes how much disaster a little man can do :) I don't know how will react when we'll have little, loud, messy, babie...s :))

pimp my mirror

Today was such a day!! of course it was! it's Friday :)

 I woke up in the morning and I prepare myself for school, but outside was cold and dark and the bed cried not to leave him alone. Just when I had to open the door and leave, my heart couldn't let me go and I went straight to bed again :)

As you know it, we are a young married couple and we don't have much financial resources to invest in everything we want to change,so we have to be creative.

We have an oval mirror that don't has any frame  and it is a little bit ugly and today I decided that I have to do something about it.

here are the steps to DIY it

follow the steps and don't panic if something goes wrong

1 year 1 month 1 week

Today, Raz and I, we have the anniversary of our wedding. we reached together 1 year 1 month and 1 week. yeey for the love :)  and today he manage to come home for a week. yeeey for that too :). I use a lots of smiley face because I am sooo sooo happy.

oki, how I told you in the past post I had to do something to celebrate he's arrival, but yesterday I wasn't at home most of the day  and when I finally arrived at home, I was very tired.  I try to do something nice. I cleaned the house, I let thing the way my husband like, but I didn't put the things together  the way Raz does. without him I am not complete. and that's the marriage about. complete one another and love the other one beause together you can reach perfection( in romanian we have another word for that but I don't know the equivalent word for it. we call it desavarsire).

 

As you can see in the pictures, I didn't have much time to prepare something more sophisticated than this, but I wrote a love note and that was my salvation :)

 

In the last photo it's an  attempt to do something ridiculously cute, but didn't turn out that well.  I broke two light bulbs and now we don't have any light in the bedroom(my husband doesn't know that yet because he just arrived at home this morning and I don't plan to tell him soon, I can wait until it get dark outside ouups)
