House Projects!

Since Adam and I bought our house 2 years ago we have been constantly making improvements on it. I am amazed with Adam because he starts some random project that he has never done and these projects always turn out superb! Owning a house is so much fun, but with that comes a lot of work... here are some pictures of what Adam and I have been working on lately:






Adam finished all of the dry wall in the garage and then we primed and painted it... man I did not think it would be so tiring...but it turned out amazing thanks to Adam's determination!


I love gardening and love the produce from it.. This year my goal is to jar salsa, tomatoes, and spaghetti sauce. Every year I do freezer jam, but I have been wanting to make salsa forever! I planted this year: 8 tomato plants, 2 cucumbers, 3 squash, 2 zucchini, and 2 snap peas. I am crossing my fingers that everything turns out!


Adam made an amazing irrigation system for the garden. He took PVC pipe and drilled holes in it, and all I have to do it turn the hose on for 5 mins everyday and walla, dinner is served!


Last but not least we worked on the flower beds in the front yard. Here are some before pictures:



And After...

Happy Mother's Day!

As most of you know, every year I have a spa at my house to thank all the women in my life who have set such great examples to me. This is not just for the mothers, but all women who have helped me become who I am today. I love being a nurse, but I also love giving massages. I think motherhood is the most important work we can do here on earth. I am blessed with three moms and all of them have shown me how to be better in their own special way. Where some women have one example to follow I have multiple. I also have so many friends and family who have shown me how to become a wonderful mom someday. I wanted one day where those people who give so unselfishly could relax and get pampered themselves.


I really enjoy spas and love how they help rejuvinate you and make you feel more whole. You really feel like a new person after getting a massage.


My sister Liz has been an amazing example to me. She is always so positive about life despite trials she goes through. She is a wonderful mother of two cute little kids and she is always willing to give of herself in anyway possible to them and others. I love having her as a sister and look up to her so much. Thanks for always being there, love you liz!


Relaxation and pamper-ization!


Visualization Room....


I am so glad my mom (#2) could come, because she needed this relaxation in her life. She is an amazing women and always keeps herself busy with wonderful things. She is a teacher by profession, but most of all she is a wonderful mom to all of us kids. love you mom!


At this year’s spa, I invited lots of women to loosen up to a full body massage, unwind in the relaxation room, and float & chillax in the DEstressful visualization room. I think I gave a total of 20 massages and those people truly deserved it! Thanks again to all those women who devote their lives to helping others, you truly inspire me to be better. Love you all!
