Another absence, a happy return ;)

As you have noticed, I was away... again ;/     but now
well at least by my own demands ;)


Many things have happened in these last months, many of which I wish hadn't, like my son being physically abused by the staff at
Lindenhurst elementary school in Long Island.  After many battles, I decided not to send him back, and that has definitely been a battle of it's own.

Now, we're one week away from summer vacation, and after all of the trials of this last year, we are definitely ready for a vacation.  For some time to just be able to lay around and be with each other ;)

After living with relative's for 9 months, we FINALLY have our own place!!!
(picture me doing the happy dance)
                                                                    ok, the mouse was cuter

We found a house (sadly in my heart it's still in NY and not California), but at least we have our own little piece of the world.  We didn't buy it, of course we are renting, but the feeling of finally having our own place, is just too amazing to keep inside ;)

When we left California, my husband had the brilliant idea to leave all of our furniture behind, kind of a "new beginning" for everything; our lives, our place.  Well... now that we were finally able to get our own place, the funds aren't there for new furniture, or old furniture for that matter, but we'll make the best of it ;)

Which brings me to my next set of news.  Since I am starting over, instead of having a brand new house with everything brand spankin' new (as I really wish I could ;) ), I am excited to be able to "do" everything by myself.
What in the world am I talking about you ask?
I get to upcycle, recycle, diy, and make everything by myself, one day when I am done I can look around and feel satisfied knowing I made all those things I see.  Until then, you will be reading my step by step tutorials, and read a few rants in between, lol.

I am very excited to post about our new adventures, about how we turn an old house into our loving home, as well as my children's first ever full summer out of school!!!!!
(in California they always have had year round school)

Until next post, I hope you all have a wonderful beginning of Summer!!!!

Even although the final influence is great -enough to catch people eyes so acquainted with stump on hundred of tutorials on the Internet- if ceases to deliver on the subject of a thorough step by step explaining. I understand or know that for the creator and the reader that is certainly mastered throughout complex effects its obvious what must be done, but for individuals who are however learning it truly is impossible to have through particular points, due to the confuse or maybe incomplete elucidation. Even though I'm not a real rookie together with Photoshop, I only may get pass the issue thanks to other visitors that provided a hand to people that where for example trapped at one level or yet another.
    When it pertains to tutorials absolutely nothing is given with regard to granted, better additional than less.

  27. Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this website. It's simple,
    yet effective. A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say that you've done a awesome job with this.
    Additionally, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Firefox.

    Superb Blog!

  30. I comment when I especially enjoy a article on a site or I have something to contribute to the conversation.

    It's caused by the fire displayed in the article I browsed. And on this article "Another absence, a happy return ;)". I was excited enough to post a thought :) I actually do have a couple of questions for you if you usually do not mind. Is it only me or do a few of these comments look like they are left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting on additional sites, I'd like to keep
    up with everything new you have to post. Would
    you make a list all of all your shared sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
