 Hi I'm Brittney. Mother, Lover... Wedding Planner.

Hi. I'm Brittney. I'm a 27 year old mother of 3 from St. George, Ut. I am excited to be joining the blogging community. I've taken the first step and made an account, now it's just a matter of actually 'doing' it. I am a master of starting things and never finishing them. I love crafts, I love blogs, and I have so many thoughts and ideas bouncing around in this head of mine that I think this will be the perfect therapy for me. So i'm giving it a shot...
A little about me. I am a stay at home mom. I have an 18 month old baby girl named Avery, and 2 step-kids, who I love like my own, but I feel the need to explain the 'step' because when i say I have a 16 year old people look at me funny. Her name is Jessie, she is 16 and there is my son Jonathan who we call J-Man. He is 9. We have a black lab named Lola and 2 snakes, Zeus and Ziggy. I am engaged to the love of my life, and the man of my dreams. I have a beautiful life- far better than any I had ever dreamed of. I like to say we are a 'modern family' seeing as how we have a split household. I had a baby before I was married. My fiance is 14 years older than me, and really we are far from traditional in nearly all aspects of our life. But we love each other and we are happy. To me that's all that matters.
I am getting married in April so right now my life consists of normal Mom duties; carpool, zookeeper, maid, teacher, entertainer, therapist... you know the deal. And now, because my list isn't long enough: Wedding Planner/Decorator. In a effort to try to save money... and a little help from that website we call Pinterest,  I have managed to turn the special day into a complete Do-It-Yourself Wedding. The control freak in me loves it, the responsible part of me keeps saying, 'what are you thinking.' When it come to the whole "saving money" thing... I'm not sure if D.I.Y. was really the right answer. But, here we are, gluing, cutting, sewing, and planning all hours of the day- and loving it 98% of the time. My fiance Tommy, I'm pretty sure he thinks differently. He's not loving the fact that my evenings are spent with my face turned down and a glue gun in my hands rather than snuggling with him on the couch watching TV. But he's a real trooper, and puts on a happy face because he knows not only will it be over in 2 months, but that I love this kind of stuff. 




So... because I have SO much extra time on my hands, I'm going to start blogging my projects, and this whole wedding process. I am excited to start this little journey and hope you enjoy my adventures...
