Another quiz that describes me - where I got the result I expected!
You are a true realist! You don't really believe in positive or negative
thinking, you believe in the truth and the now. You always see the
practical side of things, always weighing your options and foreseeing
the most probable outcome. You are very calculated, smart, and you don't
make rush decisions. You just see things for what they are, without all
the crap, which makes you a great person to get life advice from. Now
can you help all those optimists and pessimists see the world for what
it really is??

DIY - Dreamcatcher
Our house has suddenly become a place where bad dreams occur more frequently - particularly in my 5 year old!
As a result, I introduced the concept of a "Dream Catcher" to them.
In case you have never heard of a dream catcher, it comes from American Indian Folklore, and is something that you make and put above your bed to catch the "bad" dreams but to let the good dreams come through.
So, here is how you can make one yourself (or with your children!)
Supplies needed:
Paper Plate
Marker
Scissors
Hole-Puncher
String (yarn, twine, whatever you have on hand!)
1. Measure a small circle in the middle of the paper plate. (Tip: Draw around a cup!) Measure a larger circle, up to approximately the rim of the paper plat (Tip: use a bowl!).
2. Cut out both circles. You'll discard the inner-loop.
3. Punch holes around edges of the the small circle - Any number will do! Now, count your holes! You'll want to punch the same number of holes around the inside rim of the large loop (which means they will be a bit more spread apart).
4. Use the string to connect the two, weaving through the outside and the inside alternately.
5. Here's the fun part! Use your creativity to decorate, draw, add feathers, beads, whatever you'd like! My daughter wanted a tatoo on hers - which I was able to make happen! My son just colored the outside rim of the paper.
6. Hang in a bedroom - preferably over the bed - and your child won't have any more nightmares (well, theoretically...)
See pictures attached of two that we made at my house recently!
P.S. I guess I have become "crafty" mom!

Free-Spirit
A recent quiz dubbed me...
Free-spirited
You're a free-spirit -- an unrestrained, liberated person. Spiritual and physical freedom mean the world to you. When you travel, you love to adapt and experience something that's wildly new. You don't like being confined and your energy truly starts to flow once you find freedom in your mind, body, and soul.

2014 Review in Pictures
For the last few years, the hardest post to make is the year's wrap-up - picture style!
I go through, and pick my favorite pictures each year. Since I take a few thousand pictures, it's quite the task! Thankfully, the majority of my good shots eventually get blogged about - - even if it's only a Wordless Wednesday.
So... here you have my favorite pictures for 2014!
