DIY

Here I will share crafts, sewing projects, and homemade solutions. From décor, to clothes, to just about anything I can think off. Stay posted for tutorials and links. Here is where I'll share the adventures of me, Mrs. Rosie, and my crafts.

About the Gamgee Family

I am Mrs. Rosie. I am 21 years old and met Mr. Sam while attending BYU in Provo, Utah and we quickly fell in love and were married on April 28, 2012 in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And we had our little angel 11 months later on March 19, 2013.
We are currently in Michigan while Mr. Sam is in Law School, we miss our family and friends but love the people we are meeting out here and love Michigan.
I absolutely love music, reading, sewing, cooking and being a new mom. I am a stay at home mommy who is trying to keep my family healthy and well crafted for.  So check out my recipes and DIY pages to see what we've got going on in the Gamgee home.
Mr. Sam loves loves loves to fish! All day, everyday, if he could. Most Brad Paisley songs were written just for him. He also really enjoys sports; football and basketball, especially. And is a huge Tolkien fan. Big surprise there.
Hobbit Jo - currently enjoys chewing on things, crawling, and getting ANY AND ALL attention she can. And will scream a lot to get it. She giggles and smiles and brings so much joy into our home. We couldn't be luckier!

That's just a little about us, now jump on in and share in our adventures around our Shire and she what is new here in Bag End.

!!!ORANGE CONES!!!

Warning - the blog is having a face lift and I have a super-sized hatred for blogger and technology in general. So I'm sorry if you stumble on some oddities and if you are lost. All will be fixed. In time.

But HEY! Thanks for coming back :D

Nov 7 Report

Alright- as promised I am checking in and publishing my progress or in this case a failure.
Yesterday, I didn't exercise, didn't drink much water and I ate terribly! My diet started well but took an awful turn as the day went on.

Breakfast:
90 cal granola bar
1/2 C applesauce

Lunch:
2 hotdog boats

Dinner:
ICE CREAM lots and lots of ICE CREAM

Water intake:
About 30 oz or 2 1/2 glasses

There you have it- a hate-the-world-don't-mess-with-me kinda' day, a peace-out-diet-won't-miss-you day. But I figure any day you keep tryjng and moving is a success. There aren't failures just hard days. So if you spent the night reading ice cream too than don't despair! We always have today.

I'm going to deviate and share a non-Tolkien wrote today for a classic from my childhood.

Fall has been here!

Since moving to MI we've been enjoying our Fall. We celebrated the return of college football (always an anxiously awaited day), discovered a LOVE for Yoo-Hoo, we went apple picking and have been enjoying the rewards (our fridge is still FULL of them), and we spent a quite Hallo's Eve at home as...you guessed it - HOBBITS! Samwise and Rosie Cotton with their little Hobbit Jo! I love Fall!!!

Our Journey to the Shire

Three months later... here are some pics from our adventurous move to Michigan.

About 1600 miles from home we started a new home.

We miss our families and friends and everything about Utah, but we are enjoying our new experiences and friends we see meeting out here.

PS- Michigan is GORGEOUS! I'll post pictures I promise.
