My bad!...not really

Sheesh! I cannot believe how long it has been since I truly took the time to write on my blog...I miss it! Truth is, having an infant (with acid reflux being treated) all over again is super time-consuming (both kids are watching Baby Einstein as we "speak") and I have been making tons of tiny little girl stuff while crocheting and using fabrics.

Here's a quick low-down of what I've been up to and hope you can get into it too!

I just recently discovered the Crafty Chica blog and I'm lovin' all the latina-inspired, and culture rich materials and projects.  Don't take my word for it, check it out! It's like nothing out there!

Now, I've also noticed that while I love DIYing and crocheting and creating and etc...Pinterest has totally eased up the inspiration (about 60% of the time) while searching.  Mind you, it IS addictive, but as long as you do all your house chores and bathe/dress your kids in the morning then you're set for the day to be a mom and a Pin freak at the same time ;-).  For those of you who aren't into Pinterest yet, I think of it like cutting out catalog/magazine stuff you love and compiling it all in one place divided into your own categories to reference later or do at the moment.  It's easy and you can download an app for your phone (I have android) so you can use it anywhere at any time!  You can follow what I pin by searching meo86 in "search" under "people" setting since I'm going to start pinning up everything I've blogged about too. Here's a peek at things I post about, most with tutorials included:

Yeah, I pretty much want to marry Pinterest...almost. Though I've been happily married 4 years now (this past October 1st! whoo hoooo!) and it was quite a memorable one. Celebration at home doesn't stopped (not like that!) and hopefully we can fully enjoy it this weekend!

Ok, gotta go since the Einstein video is finished and I need to start "school time" with my kid before snacktime, then playtime and naptime (while diaper changing and breastfeeding in between ♥).

Much love, muchachas!

MUSEUM DAY!

So, my mother, in all honesty, brought this to my attention in July and wanted me to take advantage of it.  Being from California, where museums are abundant and free/cheap/worth every penny...I naturally get a little bored with the so few options out here in Utah.  Fortunately, September 25th is the Smithsonian's 6th annual museum day!!! As such, 1,500 participating museums around the country are celebrating the fact and giving away FREE admission...Yayyyy!!  Al you have to do is look up a participating museum near you! That EASY.

The following is brought to you by the Smithsonian, an amazing circulating magazine and wonderful museum in Washington, DC I have yet to visit , so too the state I yet have to travel...then again, I have lots of travel dreams. Anyways, you can follow the following links for all the details and just some extra stuff I wanted to post to pour out my crush on you for this organization:

FREE museum admission ticket per household. Get yours ahead of time and plan ahead!
Smithsonian Magazine
Smithsonian Institution with 20 museums!
Smithsonian channel with info on technology, artifacts, discoveries and MORE
...and if you live near/in Washington, DC
Job opportunities

I for one, love working in museums because you get to be the one to be behind the scenes for special exhibitions, get to meet famous sponsors and people be surrounded by amazing finding and information, share it with others aloud, and sometimes get special discounts for surrounding associations, groups, organizations and museums.  What could be BETTER?!

So, take your kids out, and enjoy one special day with them exploring something different.  Trust me, they'll remember it forever ☺ I definitely remember seeing so many new and exiting things growing up in California and I'm grateful my mother took the time to take her 8 children, including myself, on outings such as these.  Trust me, I want to do exactly the same for mine.
