The Mattila Update: Long week.
http://jamattila.blogspot.com/2013/10/long-week.html
Saturday, October 12, 2013. It has been a REALLY long week. Being a parent is the hardest job. Cliche comment but I've been feeling it a lot lately. In my idealistic little mind, I keep waiting for things to just fall into place and that it will be magically easier. I've heard that. it gets easier. HA HA, no. Sorry. Being a mom is the greatest joy I've ever thought I could have BUT so far, not getting easier. Three toddlers turned into three school aged kids and although certain struggles, like bedtime.

http://jamattila.blogspot.com/2013/10/october-happenings.html
Tuesday, October 22, 2013. Photos to come. Also, new lighting for our rockin' patio space. It feels overwhelming at times to attempt to do anything but the day to day but it is nice to get them accomplished. however slow it may be. Iphone photo of our patio progress last night. Next spring it will be more decorated with pottery but I couldn't find anything that I liked this year. I may have to DIY some planters. BUT with that busy busy. I had some amazing times. AH, love it. The "Not So Empty" Nesters.

Sunday, January 31, 2010. Because I am that behind. I just got to putting photos on the computer from July.

Tuesday, July 28, 2009. It is late and I should be sleeping. The baby is making me sort of uncomfortable right now so I thought I'd get up and get myself so tired that it won't even matter that I don't have any room to expand my lungs!

Slightly vintage-y and very pretty! Giggle baby, he just loves this thing. It ma...

http://jamattila.blogspot.com/2013/10/fall-festival-and-horse-of-many-colors.html
Wednesday, October 23, 2013. Fall Festival and the Horse of Many Colors. I love my town. I've said this many times. NEVER did I think I would live in a small blip of a village such as this but I love it. Have you ever seen Gilmore Girls? Eli was preparing himself for what he thought was going to be a big boom for the start of the race. He has a running style all of his own. :). The kids were so excited to get ribbons! Painting Jellybean for the parade. She was very sparkly and colorful. This is my life.
