How can it almost be September already?! This summer flew by. Next thing we know it will be Thanksgiving and Christmas. Life with two cubs has this Mama Bear busy, busy, busy. I knew it would be different with two but I guess you never really get it until you are actually in the moment. I am getting sleepy at random times during the day and finding that exhausted should have been my middle name. The boy cub loves to eat, sleep, and grunt. I am loving each and every moment. The girl cub is really enjoying being a big sister and is constantly trying to help and hug on her brother. It's wonderful to watch her try to comfort him when he is crying or telling us when he is waking up. We are really focusing on giving the girl cub solo time away from her brother. Which at times can be hard as he doesn't like to sleep in his bassinet as of late...well not beyond thirty or so minutes. So, if the Hubby Bear isn't home I have to take advantage of those fleeting minutes and have some one on one time with the girl cub. Even as I sit here an write this blog post the boy cub is slowly waking up and grunting all the while. Its nice to just hold him and watch a smile come across his little face and watch my girl cub give him kisses and hugs. This Mama Bear's heart is full!
As the days turn into weeks my time is being filled with diaper changes, outfit changes after blowouts, and trying to catch a few zzz's I haven't found time to get back into my crafting groove. I want to just have a few hours of uninterrupted craft time but since the girl cub doesn't nap unless she's truly exhausted-which at two years is rare for her because 'go' is her middle name- I don't see that happening this week. Last night I got about two hours of sleep. The boy cub just didn't want to sleep...I think he was gassy and his tummy was bothering him. So, I don't see myself getting my craft on today. But I will get my Pin on on Pinterest. I love that website. It's amazing and addictive. I find that I will go Pin-crazy at times and the people who follow me must wonder...does she do anything besides pin about card crafting, her kids, when she has a house, organization, or when she can have a drink. Haha. Well, I do have a very full life but when you don't have many free moments going on Pinterest is really a nice five to ten minute escape for this busy Mama Bear. I am planning on visiting a fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator this weekend and comparing ideas and doing a mini swap. It should be fun to swap crafts and ideas. I am looking forward to a couple of hours of crafting with others. I'll post a couple of pictures of the things we create this weekend. :)
Until then enjoy your Wednesday and as the sign above my desk reminds me...."Someday is not a day of the week". Get your craft on! Take some time to be quiet. Pray for someone when they come to mind. Take advantage of those few quiet moments you have before the busyness of the day steals those moments away from you.
Until we meet again,
Mama Bear out!

Here's a Happy Birthday card I made for my Granny last month. Using my favorite color Blackberry Bliss from Stampin' Up. Then I used the retired Embossing Folder Flower Garden. I love the folders they add a simple dimension to your cards. The Stamps are from the Something to Say stamp set. Another simple birthday card! Fun times in craft land.
