All About Me

 Hi, I'm Michelle.
Paige is my middle name.

This is my family.

We live outside of Seattle and enjoy spending summers and any free time we can find--on Camano Island, WA.

After teaching special education for 17 years,
I'm now a stay-at-home mom.
I loved teaching, but my own kids started needing me more and more! 

I'm now at home running my kids to various sports and activities and leading multiple Women's Bible Studies.
 

Thankfully my AH (awesome husband--I love calling him that, because it's true!) can provide for our family without me working.  We are blessed to have 2 kids.  Jessica, age 17 (our blessing from God--who we adopted at birth) and Jacob, age 16 (our surprise, miracle boy who was supposed to be a stillborn).  By the grace of God and support of our family and friends, we survived 4 miscarriages, 3 failed adoptions and one high-risk pregnancy to have our children.  I could probably write and fill up a completely different blog on living through that pain...but how much fun would that be?

Instead, I started blogging about the things I love...creative crafting, party planning, gift giving, cheesy puns, valentines and much more!  Who knew how much fun blogging could be?  I hope that my ideas inspire others to be creative and have a bit of fun celebrating life along the way.

I've met many wonderful blogging friends and readers online, and
I'd love to meet you.  Thanks for stopping by.  Drop me a line.
