Hiya sistahs,
Well I am very busy playing mommy as my nanny has left to the Phillipines to mourn the passing of her mom 🙁 . Ryan and I are struggling for time but are loving the new found moments with our children. Tyler was home sick today and I cleaned up and cared for him.. poor thing. So that’s been my life in a nutshell for the past week and for 2 more weeks to come PLUS we are at the National Women’s Show this weekend so it has been a little tough around here.. HENCE the late Bellarific Friday entry. I am so sorry.
The theme for this week was NATURE/FLOWERS and we have some great new participants and wonderful cards to showcase this week. It was great to see how everyone interpreted the theme
