With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, I thought I’d share a little bit of what we did around the house for the holiday. Our tradition is to make pink, heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast (and, if I’m being honest, sometimes for lunch or dinner too!). I have a set of pancake molds that I use for this Read more about A little love.[…]
Sadly, it has been a very, very long time since I have been inspired AND had the time to post on here. When I started this blog, it was my goal to mostly focus on my creative endeavors and keep the kid-updates to a minimum. After all, I have a life of my own, right? Read more about Hi! Atus.[…]
Our son, Graham, turned two last week. Because he is in love with trains right now, we threw him a train-themed party. I had this dream of buying a fabulous cake so I wouldn’t stress myself out about making/decorating a cake. But when I started price-checking cakes like I wanted, I quickly retreated. So I Read more about Choo choo, Graham is two.[…]

Well, we survived the week of Halloween! The kids loved it and I am exhausted! They were so cute trick-or-treating last night that I seriously wasn’t ready to stop. Each holiday that comes and goes, I become more aware of how much holidays are all about the kids. Guess my perspective has changed some. Over Read more about Coming down from a sugar high.[…]
My mother’s side of the family has been working to sort thru some of my grandma’s belongings, as she is living in an assisted living home and my uncle and his wife are moving into her old house. Lucky me, I got dibs on an old chest that she had. It is a beautiful piece Read more about A new hope chest.[…]
One minute, he’s playing. Having the best evening ever. The next, he’s in timeout for not sharing the slide with his sister. Broken hearted. So sad. Poor Graham, huh? You feel for him, right? Then Dad has a talk with him. He listens, says “yessir” and promises to be a good boy. Then we go Read more about Anatomy of a fit.[…]
This summer, my husband, my brother and his wife are all celebrating their thirtieth birthdays. (Thirty?? What? My husband is turning thirty?!?!? When did we get this old?) Of course, I am happy to celebrate with them as I have two more years before I hit that milestone. Together, we all threw a party to Read more about Old.[…]
One day last week, Lilah was playing in her pool and decided to “clean” the deck. She slid her bucket all over and sloshed an old rag back and forth all over the place saying that she was “Cinderelly”. I thought it was adorable – and was also amused that she gets her cleaning habits Read more about Cinderelly.[…]
