My name is Sharon, I'm a 30-somethin'. I love my hubby and kids, baking, animals etc. Trying to raise my 2 littles to be awesome human beings, being a good wifey, keeping it together, and trying to get into my dream career. Plus, I need sleep right? If I could have a super power, it would totally be to stop and start time whenever I could so I could get shit done in a flash.

My youngest is 20 months. For the last couple months, his fav daily thing to say is, "Mommy? Oh la la!" Whenever he discovers something new and exciting, or when he makes a mistake. It really is super cute. I thought this title sweet and fitting, since I get a lot of surprises and mistakes daily (in my case anyway). I'm just going to write on here because I feel like it (plus I need a place to drop my thoughts, and whatever ideas come my way!) 

Sharon
xoxo

Burnout, Anxiety, & Panic Attacks Part 1

It happened. I'm going through a burnout. And I didn't even realize it. Not until I sat down at my doctor's office, bawling my eyes out. Chest painful, heavy breathing, heat radiating up my head with a massive headache. Thinking I was either dying, or something was seriously wrong. The last month and a half was the icing on the cake to months of sleep deprivation, and me thinking that I could, as we say "do it all". It's hard being a mom, a cook, a cleaner, a wife, a daughter, a worker, a driver, a laundromat. I rarely find the time to do anything just for me. I honestly don't know how many women "seem" to get it all done, and look fabulous at the same time. Either they have help, lots of money, or are pretending that things are all good. The only me time I get, is when I stay up past the kids' bedtime, which I know I shouldn't really, but that's the time I have. I get up really (truly early) because of work, which I don't min...

Ikea Forhoja DIY Project

So while I am on this burnout leave, I am trying to get back to doing creative things that make me feel good. It's been a while since I've done anything crafty. I decided to tackle (slowly) my Ikea Forhoja side table in the kitchen. I bought it last year, and kept putting off painting and staining it. Last fall, my son decided to write in pen "Fish" all over one side about 4 times in huge letters while I was out and hubby was watching him. At first I was p-oed that he did that, but then I figured, he's practicing his spelling right? Lol. So that gave me good incentive to finally take care of the table! I started with sanding the top and sides, especially where the writing was. I chose a walnut colored oil stain from Minwax that I got from Canadian Tire for the top of the table to match my walnut cupboards. I stained the top with the oil based finish with just one coat. I didn't want it to be too dark. I used a regular paint brush and let it dry o...
