It just wont stop!!!

I'm talking about the rain. It was raining when I went to sleep and raining when I got up. Of course it has to be on my weekend off work too! I feel like I should be doing something slightly more productive...but I am working on this blog. :) I do believe that Cheyenne is starting to go a little bit crazy being cramped inside though. The pups too.

Oh.. and did I mention that my yard is staring to resemble a small pond...yeah it is.

 

Until it stops, I will be on here figuring things out...and on pinterest looking for ideas for our upcoming DIY home improvements! YAY! Don't worry...I will post all about it (and pics).

Have a great day!!

Work in progress.....

As you can tell, I have been working on the layout of my blog. I am kind of starting to catch on...I think. This will continue to be a work in progress as I learn the ropes of blogging so hang on tight and check back soon! :)

(PS: I found this blog that has tutorials that has seriously helped me so far!http://www.somethingswanky.com/)

The picture below is of my dog sons Tank(pit) and Casper(pom).

My name is Jessica. I have tried this blogging thing before and it didn't work out well, but I have decided to give it another go. I'm not going to write about anything specifically, just whatever I feel like posting that day.

Now....a little about me and my family. I am 24 years old and have a beautiful 5 year old daughter named Cheyenne. Her father Michael and I have been together for 7 years through many ups and downs. We also have our "sons", a 3 year old pomeranian named Casper, and an almost 5 month old pitbull named Tank. I am  a CNA and CDM,CFPP. I love my job. Although my daughter is my life, being a mother does not define me. I love being a working mom and hope to continue to climb the ladder at my job. I have many hopes and goals for the future. Life is not always easy, but we continue to work hard and make it through and our daughter is happy and healthy.

If you noticed, the link to get to my blog is SteelGardenias. I chose this for two reasons. I chose steel because I feel that Michael and I have made it past so many downfalls in both of our lives before eachother, and together and it makes us stronger for it. I chose gardenias because they were my step-father's favorite flower (he passed in 2007) and it reminds me of him.

Now that you know a little about me and my family, I will sign off for tonight. I don't know when or what I might post about next but hopefully it will be soon if I can get the hang of this! :)
