It’s Fun Making Fun

March 3, 2013

My kids crouch in the floor and play in whispers while their daddy sleeps upstairs. I can’t move from my spot on the couch. Coffee is close at hand. Can they subsist on leftovers and snacks for one afternoon? Surely they can. February has been exhausting, and we’ve been up to our eyeballs celebrating birthdays. Read More

Word Clouds and Mom Hearts

February 25, 2013

Have you seen those posters made up of word clouds? A bunch of words, some big, some little, some in caps, some in italics, all smooshed together to make a cloud? I feel like that is what’s going on in my brain. Our family took a little trip this weekend to a Mom Heart Conference. Read More

Diving Back In

February 4, 2013

I suppose there is no easy way to jump back into blogging other than to just act like I never really stopped. I could spend lots of time telling you where I’ve been and what we’ve been doing, but that would be boring and irrelevant. Suffice it to say that it’s never taken this long Read More

During my hiatus, I have really enjoyed following Design Mom. I love her blog. And her Pinterest boards are so inspiring! She has a feature called “Living With Kids” that makes decorating with kids in mind seem totally achievable while maintaining a sense of style and personality beyond “Fisher Price.” I know you know what Read More

This week it finally Read More

One Week Old! (And Some Favorite Tunes)

February 23, 2012

In case you missed it, our baby came last week! Although at this time last Wednesday I was convinced I would still be pregnant for another week. My, how things change in a matter of hours. No one will ever have to tell me that again. I’ll try to keep this little baby story short Read More

V-Day Love

February 14, 2012

The house is looking sweet and festive, in spite of me this year. I enjoy decorating for special holidays, especially since there are kiddos in the house, but this year I didn’t have the energy. I hung a little heart garland that I stitched up last year around our mirror on the mantle and got Read More

And Counting

February 11, 2012

We’re celebrating my husband today and yet another year that he’s been on the earth. What can I say? I truly think the world is a better place because he’s in it and he’s an amazing husband and father. We feel so blessed that he’s ours! Taco salad, English Premier League soccer, and a snowstorm Read More

Showers of Blessings

February 7, 2012

I was showered with so many wonderful things a couple of weeks ago by some dear friends and family. I can’t wait to show you all the PINK and all the handmade goodness that has come our way. Right now, though, what is really overwhelming me is all the encouragement I have received during these Read More
