Sunday Social: Life

Welcome to the Sunday Social! This is my first one under my new blog name "The Diary of an Urban Housewife". I hope you'll bear with me while I make all the changes around the blog! 

In the meantime come and follow me:


This is where you'll see all my posts about what we are doing around the city, get to see my life in pictures, and where I am selling my creations. I hope you'll join me, I love to see what everyone else is up to! :)



1. What do you value most in life? 

These two: 

Nothing better than seeing those two faces every day ;)

2. What do you think is the greatest invention in your life and why?

Hmmm this is an interesting question. Honestly there isn't anything since I've been born that has been invented that I don't think I could live without....but if I have to pick something I'd definitely say the INTERNET! 

This picture is completely unrelated, but without the internet we'd have never seen its awesomeness! 

3. What do you think is the secret to a good life? 

Happiness and acceptance. If you surround yourself with people and work that makes you happy, the accept you for who you are and surroundings that make you happy, and if you learn to accept people for who they are and love those you love for who they are, you really can't go wrong! :) 

4. What would you most like to be remembered for when you’re gone? 
Being a devoted wife, awesome mother, and great friend and daughter.
5. What accomplishment in your life are you most proud of? Graduating university while working full time, being a wife, and mother. I taught my daughter to read while working with my husband to keep our daughter out of daycare. While doing all of this managed to sometimes exercise and cook a healthy meal every night. Sometimes I don't know how I did all I did in those days, then I take a nap because I remember my 20's were fairly sleepless so in my stay at home mom of a teenager 30's I let myself nap ;)

See you all next week for a Halloween Themed Sunday Social!

September Blogging Challenge: The Three Greatest Moments of my Life


Today's challenge question asks what the three greatest moments of my life are...not in chronological order....



1. The day my daughter was born....
I'm going old school for this one because I had her before digital camera's became big, so these are pictures I took from her scrapbook....

The introduction page I made for her book, look at my OB Holding her, wasn't he hilarious?!

The husband and I probably just an hour after she was born. Look how young we were!!! I forget how young we looked...so anyone who thinks I still look like I'm 19 I have proof I don't!!! LOL

2. The day I got married to my fantastic husband....
(Again, taking pictures from our scrapbook because digi cams weren't so big at the time...)
Our Ceremony

At our reception...weren't we cute! We were so young!!! I can't get over that!

Awww *kissy*kissy*! BTW, I just now, after 14 years of looking at this picture noticed those hands in the bottom right corner! hahaha
3. The day I graduated University.
I don't actually have any photos of this because I did not walk. In 2005 we moved from Orlando to Kansas so my husband could attend law school and I completed the last year of my degree programme online. I worked really hard. I started University in 1998, took a break in 1999 went back in 2000, took at least one class every semester in 2002 I started full time, worked, raised a kid, and still managed to go out with my husband. I kept a B average the whole time. I didn't do so terrible. ;) Those were the longest years of my life and I joke around telling everyone I'm so tired all the time in my 30's because I rarely slept in my 20's! :P


Wow, this was fun reliving those moments...but I need to plan a vow renewal so I can get some wedding-ish pictures of us digital!
