On rainy days
This is what I have been busy with on our lovely rainy days. They look great and they add a punch of color to any room/space.

Loves and Insecurities...
This is a post all about me...and all that I offer and do or have done...
1. My biggest fear(s) are snakes and water. I have mentioned my snake fear before and it is an extreme fear. Growing up on a farm infested with them you would think that I would be used to them. I think my fear started when I was little and I watched my Uncle Kelvin pour salt on one and it literally shed it's skin on the spot. TRAUMATIZED!
Water..growing up on the prairies there are very few bodies of water. The thought of going on a cruise makes me very anxious. I will likely never go on a vacation cruise just b/c I am terrified of sinking and a whale eating me (childish I know, but that is me). Hopping out of a boat in deep water to swim makes me panic b/c i don't know what is swimming underneath me. Watching whales/fish on t.v. makes me shiver b/c they are so big and I don't know how to swim. Those of you who enjoy whale watching...you are crazy! It is rare for me to go into a body of water higher than my waist.
2. I am a people watcher. I went to a hockey game this winter and i couldn't tell you who won the game..I was far too busy watching people. I have put myself in a few situations b/c I don't realizing that I am sitting there with a smirk or a sad look on my face.
3. I LOVE babies! Babies, babies, babies!
4. My dream job would be to work in a hospital cheering up sick kids or rocking/comforting crying and sick babies. I love to see happy children and to know that I can help comfort them.
5. I believe in disciplining my children. This is a very touchy subject for me b/c I am very passionate about it and I will stick to my guns and argue it to the death! If you don't want an honest answer when it comes to discipline...don't ask me questions b/c I may tell you something you don't want to hear. I can't watch Super Nanny b/c it makes me furious..
6. I love to sing! I grew up going to church every Sunday and sitting beside my Grandma(who has a beautiful voice) who taught me how to harmonize and sing. This is something that I will cherish forever and forever be thankful for. It is a gift that I have been blessed with.
7. My left lung has collapsed twice and I have had part of it removed. Humidity and I don't get along very well. So, my dream of moving to Fiji will never become a reality..sniff sniff
8. I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on April 25, 2007. He was 8lbs 4 oz and 21 inches long. He was named Colton Reese Taylor and he is my pride and joy! He brings a smile to my face everyday. He is compassionate, caring and determined and tells me everyday that he loves me.
9. I run a dayhome which allows me to raise my own child and to have the joy of helping mold other children as well.
10. I don't have alot of close friends, but the ones I do have I cherish and love like family!
11. I dream of one day opening my own little bakery/coffee shop...needing to win the lottery first though.
12. I enjoy true war movies. I could watch Band of Brothers over and over again.
13. I am obsessed with baskets. My house is full of them and they keep me organized.
14. Summer + garage sales = happy Jen
15. I'm handy and crafty.
I may add to this list later but for now..this is me! Is there something unique about you that I don't know about?
