I don’t know what it is about me that I have such a hard time scheduling a vacation for our family every year. I somehow feel embarrassed, like it’s indulgent or selfish or whatever. I’m so embarrassed to be like “Oh, we are on vacation that week…” What is this. Therapists, chime in. I am […]
Oh, friends. I haven’t been around here much because life has been happening really fast and really a lot. We worked hard, played hard and loved hard from spring through the summer months. We filled up our calendar with play dates and barbecues and swim parties. We finally hung our patio lights which have been […]
It’s summer and I’m reading! IT’S SUMMER and I’m REEAAAADIIIINGG. (Sing to the tune of “I’m in a store and I’m SIIIIINGING.”) Anyways, what is all of this big deal about (AIR QUOTES) summer reading? Legitimate question. Before we go into this, look at this bee. Isn’t he cute? He likes summer reading and he […]
Okay the title is a lie. Evelyn’s birthday isn’t for another four weeks. Just love me anyways. What a year it has been. To think I wasn’t sure if I wanted a third. David just said to me yesterday “I think this one has been the most fun for me.” And we went on to […]

It’s lovely…there’s an incredible variety of homes on this tour. People around the world live with kids in so many different ways. Here we are, if you haven’t read it […]
I wanted to share with you guys the story of my kitchen, the space that I love most in my house at the moment. I’ve been running into articles on Unclutterer and images on Pinterest from places like Design Sponge and Apartment Therapy featuring older homes with tons of style and originality. I started noticing […]
It’s been a while since I actually got around to musing on the blog. I planned on writing a 2016 goals post this month…until I realized wow, my goals are pretty much the same as they were in 2015. Minus needing to keep up with Facebook and plus fitting back into my jeans. Which is […]
Ah the cure for post-holiday blues…some people dance in their kitchens, others of us check out from life with a good book. Actually…this year I really don’t have post-holiday blues at all. I have more of a LET’S BULLDOZE A CHRISTMAS TREE thing going on over here. IDK. I’ve just been ready for spinach salads […]
