Where oh where did the school year go? It’s almost over here in the South. We have little over a month left & I can’t believe it. Nor can I believe how much the kids have grown & changed during the school year. Using these signs while taking their photos is something I’m so glad…
Doing a Cheer for Some Home Improvements
*you’ll need to mute the commercial ad & unmute the video in order to hear her cheer* Slowly but surely we’ve started updating a few things around our home. Sometimes things happen so slowly in our house, we have to stop & say a cheer when home improvements happen. 😉 We recently received the…
Where whiskers, dirty socks & toys collide
Outside of the kitchen this area right in here is the place where it all “happens” in our house. It’s a warm & cozy room, and I do believe it will be the starting point of all the stories my kids will tell about their childhood, later down the road. I mean, you name it…
Watercolor Easter Eggs
We had a duck lay some gorgeous eggs over the weekend. I guess she got her feathers ruffled while she was here. Because her feathers were everywhere. Madison said, “She flew into a rainbow before she came to our house.” I think she’s right. If I were being completely honest with you all, our house…
Pearly Whites, Boy Bands & Dance Parties in the Bathroom
Is it just me or do you all shake your head in awe of technology? There’s smart phones, iPads, computers, microwaves that can pop popcorn perfectly, cars that can start & heat up with a touch of a remote & now there’s a singing tooth-brush that will help your kids know how long to brush…
Watercolor Valentines
We have a little artist in our family. He can run like the wind & talk up a storm. He can get as loud as they come. But give him a paintbrush & the entire house becomes a museum with classical music playing in the background. (not really classical music, but you get my point,…
My favorite Instagrams of 2012!
Without a doubt Instagram is one of my most favorite hang outs. In fact, I think it’s even more personal than Facebook. It’s people, mommies, daddies, friends sharing snapshots of their lives. You can feel like you’re right there in the moment when a loved one is hundreds of miles away. And on the flip…
Merry Christmas!
Wishing you all the joy, love & hope Christmas can bring. This Christmas more than ever before, I will be watching these 3 & soaking in all the little & big moments & holding them tight for years to come. I’m wide awake early this morning already counting my blessings & thinking about…
Christmas Open House
Well, here it is – our Christmas Open House tour for 2012. I am mixing this post up a bit between regular pics & some instagram pics. Because I really do live in a “lived in” house & let’s be honest, sometimes instagram pics are more fun than a “posed” regular camera pic….
All things Merry & Bright! add Twinkle lights to your hallway
Without question, this has been the best thing I’ve done all season. And it took about 15 minutes. Major discussions of Santa & his reindeer, what they want for Christmas & what they’re going to be for next Halloween have all taken place under these fairy twinkle lights. Every time the twinkle lights…
