Well I finally got ten minutes to sit and get this blog thing figure out. If you should stumble across it feel free to browse my etsy shop and read about the adventures of me. I'm a mom of four silly little kids. Sofia is 7, Kate is 5, Aidan is 3 and Silas is 1. I love my job as a mom, wouldn't trade it for the world, but I am happy when I am afforded the moments where I can go about life by myself for a few hours. I mentally escape from time to time and when I am feeling really productive I will create jewelry. My bead obsession started when I was six years old with the friendship bead wave that hit the nation in the early 80's. It's been a crazy love affair ever since then with buying the little guys and making stuff.
I am aspiring to one day lamp my own beads but that will have to wait for a time when I can spin molten glass in a hot metal rod over an open flame and not wonder why the kids are so quiet.
Went to a nice little lake today in Southern NH. It's not too far from where I live but you have to be a town resident or guest of to be there. My little son Silas has been walking for a month now and had the art of walking down pat now. I was in the water, just at the edge. One moment my eyes were riveted on the baby, then I looked away for 20 seconds to deal with another child's need. Looked down and he was gone. Gone where... I scanned the beach to the left to the right and frantically behind me. Off to the left about 15 feet away was a horrible sight. There was a baby, face down in the water arms frantically flailing, legs uselessly peddling, my son. I ran through the water and grabbed him as fast as I could and before I had processed the enormity of nighmarish possibility. He had wandered off and fallen down right behind two other mothers in conversation. They didn't even know he was there. He's fine. As a matter of fact he has no fear of the water whatsoever and tried the same thing more times than I can count. Needless to say my focus did not stray from him for a moment and we all survived the trip to the lake. Never have had a child before him who was so fearless but I have enough fear to carry the both of us. That was my little adventure. I know I'm a wonderful mother. Just be warned moms with multiple children to keep watch over. It happened in less than half a minute.

Oh my goodness....that is scary! I have one extremely active 5 yo son - and I thought that was hard! HAH! I am so glad your son is okay.
BTW, your blog looks great! Keep up the good work! Sandy
I'm so glad there are other moms with crazy lives like mine. I have 4 also, but all boys. They are 6 1/2, almost 4, almost 3, and 17 months. I know what you mean about lots of little ones to keep watch over. We lost our 2yr old at the zoo (we found him about 1 minute later). It was very scary and he was terrified too. It's hard to have things like that happen and not second guess your parenting. We are good moms, it's just a very tough, busy job. Kudos to you!
Great blog, too. I attempted one a little while ago, too. Not sure if I like it or not, though. Anyway, beautiful jewelry in your etsy shop, too.
