Hi! My name is Crystin. I am a "homemaker" in training I suppose. My resume is pretty extensive. I am currently an {okay} cook, a boo boo kisser, a playmate, a jungle gym, bug catcher, butt wiper... I think I'm missing butcher, {I'm not a} baker, and candle stick maker. We will put a pin in that. I am a stay at home mom to two boys and a wife to a pretty awesome husband who thinks I'm pretty awesome too. I love learning new things, tricks, tips, recipes, cleaning technique. I really love being a Home Maker and I am always still learning. I have a strange sense of humor sometimes but I always try to be honest. Motherhood is hard and I am doing the best I can with what I have. A mother's life is dirty, messy, fun, silly, pretty gross sometimes...it's exhausting, enjoyable and all in all, a darn good time.

Soapmaking and such...






I have recently started soapmaking! It's really fun. I have been only doing Glycerin soaps right now, but I am hoping to start Bath Bombs as soon as the citric acid comes in... I had to order it offline because there are no places around me that sell Citric Acid... so I am waiting on the stuff to come so I can make Bath Bombs. They are in the shape of cupcakes and I am going to make some icing for the tops. should be fun! I will post some pics as soon as I have them finished.. The soaps on this page are the ones I have already made... I know they are not great, but I am hoping to learn how to make better soaps soon! I am trying to get a handle on some creativity-- as a wife and mother, I feel that most times I am drug into the day to day monotony of just being a wife and mother... I need something more and creative... anyway, enough of my ramblings!
