Please let me introduce myself....

So a few days ago, I FINALLY made my first blog post. I had actually been talking about having a blog for months, been planning posts in my head for weeks, and even signed up for the free blog on blogger days ago. I was in my kitchen watching my kids on the computers and said to myself, “Now is a great time to get that first post done”. I finished it after bedtime and posted that puppy!

Now, I’m going to take a step back and tell you why I wanted this blog, and what I want to do. A year ago, I discovered pintrest, and became obsessed with all the projects that I was finding for my family and myself.  For Christmas, I made beanbag chairs and aprons for the Sweetie P’s, tried new recipes, and gave the Sweeties new art projects and activities to do. It was awesome.

But after awhile, I felt left out of some of the fun. I wanted others to see how MY projects turned out, how I tweaked them to work for us, and stuff I came up with all on my own. I wanted to brag about my work as I had read others doing. I wanted to be pined in pintrest!

So here I am, attempting to fill some blog pages with my own homespun creativity. I’d like to include my attempts to get the Sweets to eat better, my attempted quilting and sewing projects, cool stuff I do for the kids, and my obsession documenting our lives with Project Life. I hope others will enjoy some of it, but really, it is a place for me to brag a little about myself, and give me something to keep my brain busy.

Why did I call my blog “My Sweetie P Garden”?  Well, I have four children, and I lovingly call each of them “Sweetie P” all the time. Our first born (Big Sweetie P) is 5, the twins (Middle P’s) are 3, and our bonus baby (Littlest SP) is a year old. We are busy around here!  They are all growing, like a garden (get it, LOL).

We also have a Sweetie P Garden in the yard, but that is for another post.
