For two months I got a little glimpse of what it would feel like to be a stay-at-home mom. It was nuts most of the time, especially with a new born baby. It wasn't a true test either because Erin was home too, helping all the time. It's a tough tough job and I have to give him HUGE credit for tackling the task every day. It was FUN though. I discovered Pinterest. What a plethora of fabulous ideas, tidbits, recipes, tricks, thoughts, etc. I spent hours at night feeding the baby and pinning away. I had even more fun trying out some of my finds with Jack and Charlie. We got crafty. I think they had a good time too. Here are some pictures of some of our little projects and crafts that I caught on film.
