New soul

I'm just loving this song... can stop smiling when I see Max moving at the rhythm of the music, and not just that but the lyrics...

I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take.
But since I came here,
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

I'm a young soul
In this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout what is true and fake
But why all this hate?
Try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make

la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

This is a happy end
'Cause you don't understand
Everything you have done
Why's everything so wrong?
This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I'll take you far away

I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take.
But since I came here,
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

I'm a new soul... (la, la, la, la,...)
In this very strange world...
Every possible mistake
Possible mistake
Every possible mistake
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes...
Take take take take take... take a mistake
Take, take a mistake
Take, take a mistake
(oh oh oh oh...)
[fade out]
(oh oh oh oh...)

 The best part...  "this is a happy end..."

Hello there,

Sorry, out of town for a while, but I will leave you something to browse around...
we are here!

                                                                                                             http://www.cityofeastlansing.com/

 I will try to post some pictures later!
Happy Thanksgiving  week!

The desk

I'm screaming  for a little office space in the house. I don't know where is going to be (not much space) but I know what kind of desk I want, and that is a Parson desk! there is something about the simplicity of the style that I just love (not much the prices).

 Looking around I found this amazing web page

http://ana-white.com/ (you should check it out).

She has the perfect plans for a home made parson desk! just what I want. 

But now, I feel guilty because I will like to build pretty much all what she has in there,

 Like this picnic table for M & G

or this play house for the boys too!

 

Or maybe this cubby wall for all  my arts and crafts tools

well, I just can add and add projects... Funny how I just star with a desk and ended with a cubby.
I kept my promise (I wrote today!), See you tomorrow,
Marta

PS I'm tired, please forgive my bad writing.

Too long

Holy cow.

It's being almost a year since I wrote on my page (not an easy year) but I am back... this time my purpose is not only write about the house but about our lives here in Morgatown, and the ultimate goal is to make an entry every day! *Sigh* did I really said that?

Anyway, now that I'm not on bed rest, the house doesn't need to be fixed (as much as before) and I have a lot of projects to be exited about, I decided  it is time to share again...

What have I been thinking lately? Well, Thanksgiving is coming, so I thought Max is at the perfect age to understand why are we having this holiday. Still having most of our books in boxes I went to the library, and to my surprise it seems like the rest of the moms around here were thinking just like me! If I found 10 books on the shelf  I'd be exaggerating (like a good Colombian girl), but I guess the librarian saw my frustration and decided to put some more out. Lucky me, between those books I found this one:

And I just love it!
Enough for today, I will try to keep my promise.
