October

October was a beautiful month. It was a month full of crisp fall weather, visits with family and friends, excitement about being in our new home, and pumpkins. Can’t forget the pumpkins! (And spaghetti squash too.) Things are probably going to be a little slow around here for the next week or so. We are…

Mini Cake Challenge – October

It has been a LONG week. Shaun is training for his new job, so he has been gone pretty much all day every day this week, and there are still two more days of fun. Today was an especially hard day for some reason. So I thought, you know what? I need to bake a…

{restyle} Dress Pants for my Lil’ Mister

I’ve been meaning to share this project for a few weeks now, and I finally got around to getting these pictures together. We went to a family wedding at the beginning of the month and I wanted to sew something cute for the kids to wear, but that was back when all of our stuff…

Seven Months

This little seven month old stud is such a ladies man. Everywhere we go, every woman within 20 feet has to stop and come get some Flynn lovin. Just look at those big handsome eyes! And that fuzzy blonde hair, I could die he’s so cute. Cuteness overload. And he knows it too. He’s all,…

Etsy Love

1. True Love Ring by Amy Cornwell I will own this ring someday. I even got a ring sizer (from some random diamond resale website) so I could order the right size. Now I just need to save up my allowance! 2. “le honey badger” Notebook by le animale “Expect problems and eat them for…

Locket Redo

I got this locket as a gift from my sister, and I absolutely loved it. Seriously, how cute is it?? So imagine how sad I was when Juniper peeled off the clear protective layer and it got wet.. Things weren’t looking very good for my poor locket. I didn’t want to throw it away. I…

A shirt for Ada

I finally got to spend some time in my (extremely unorganized) new craft room this weekend. It felt good to get the sewing machine out! I made this cute shirt for a cousin’s 1st birthday gift. I love how it turned out! Hopefully it fits her. Happy birthday Ada Grace!

{Recipe} Homemade Salsa

My mother-in-law, Jane, came over earlier this week to help with some things around the house. (We were going to paint the kitchen but I still haven’t bought the paint…) She brought me over some vegetables from their garden, and when I say “some vegetables” I mean, LOTS OF VEGETABLES! Oh man, I am going…

Rocks

The kids and I spent some time outside today digging through rocks and exploring our new yard. (Juniper especially loved the digging through rocks part! And Flynn ate a leaf or two…) I have been doing a lot of creative brainstorming lately. Unfortunately with all the unpacking there isn’t a ton of time to actually…

{What I Wore} just to feel cute

Sometimes a girl just wants to feel cute. I didn’t go anywhere interesting today, in fact I didn’t even DO anything interesting. So just to make myself feel pretty I got all dressed up and took silly pictures of myself on the deck. When I walked out of the room, Juniper said “Mommy, you a…
