Graham & Madison She looks for him = all the time. When she is talking = its mainly to him. When she is laughing out loud = it is something he has done. When he brings her a toy = she gives him her biggest smile. When he does something silly = she gets his…
doing a happy dance
Yipee for me! I have been honored with another bloggy award. Thank you cousin Maegan for thinking of me! Rules are to list 6 things you love with this award. So here goes (in no particular order): 1. I love being a mommy. If you knew me before this incredible journey began, you would know…
happy trails
sides & sweets

my first home

changes
Our view from our front door. Color. It’s November. Usually the leaves are mostly gone by now, but the leaves are hanging on. Soon all the leaves will fall, ranking will begin, and we head into the winter months. I am so lucky & fortunate to live where beautiful fall color is everywhere. This amazing…
dressing up
Before Mason & Madison arrived we had started working on our playroom/guestroom. Obviously, that came to a screeching halt, since we been a little busy. When I saw this on Soulemama‘s blog the other day, I was immediately inspired to start working on the playroom once again. I think this little corner of dress-up clothes…
