Blog Commenting Challenge - Day 4

Welcome to Day 4 of the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge!

If you would like to participate hop on over to Jenna's Journey for all the details!

Here is today's topic - Tell us about your hobbies! What do you do in your free time? What are 

your favorite books, movies, music etc?

I love being with my hubby and my boys, they are my life! I love to read and bake. I also love to appliqué/monogram and am teaching myself how to sew.

Reading has always been a passion of mine. My mom took my sister and I to the library all the time when we were little and it is something that I continue to do for myself and am now teaching my boys how wonderful books are. Connor loves to read by himself ever since he learned to actually read, but he has always loved to be read too. Cooper loves to get books too, especially when he is fixated on a certain thing which lately has been volcanoes - he is three!

I have recently become a stay at home mom and my hubby gifted me with a really nice sewing/embroidery machine. I am trying to build up a small home business, check it out here, so that we are able to always do extra things with and for the boys. It is so fun to create things and even more fun to do it for others. I monogram/applique and I also make custom camera straps. I am also "teaching" myself how to sew clothes, especially little boys shorts. It can be tedious at times but I enjoy it.

I also LOVE to bake! My all time favorite place to get recipes from is....The Pioneer Woman. Unfortunately I haven't been doing much lately because my gold ole electric range broke. But yesterday I got my new one and I am so excited! Out with the old and in with the new.....

Old and broken. See no glass on the front, it shattered when Cooper was 18 months old while it was on and he was standing next to it! I called and got the runaround and we never did get it replaced.  Then back in March it started giving an error code it would heat up to over 550-600 degrees! So I waited patiently, not really, to find a great deal.....

This was after they removed it. It was gross underneath but the nice guy's from Lowe's let me clean it. (They also looked at me funny while I was taking pictures!)

Here is the new one. It is a convection electric range which means you can cook normal or with the convection part on. I have used it twice since I got it and I love it. I have always wanted to make the Pioneer Woman's cinnamon rolls and next week I think I will!

I hope you've enjoyed getting to know about the things I like!
