A Perfect Wednesday

Downtown Columbia is a pretty fun place to walk around. Oh, I’m sorry, I mean “The District”. (haha!) I left work a little early today and we drove downtown to check out Cool Stuff, a store that is going out of business. Which is a sad fact in case you were wondering! I think they…

Go for it.

My friend Carley shared a quote on her Facebook page today that really stood out to me. As soon as I saw it I knew I needed to print it and hang it on my wall. There are so many things I want to do in my life, and the only thing preventing my progress…

My Poor Camera

You may have noticed lately that my photos aren’t quite as nice as usual… Well, maybe you haven’t noticed. Maybe it’s all in my head. Just trust me though. Ever since my camera lens died a couple of weeks ago, I have been using my Nikon Coolpix. Which I love, it’s a great little camera.…

[What I Wore} To Work

This morning was a little hectic. I had a conference call and some last minute design work for Little Me Tea, and then my boss called to remind me that my time sheet was due this morning and the HR department was calling him in a panic. So I got dressed as quick as I…

365 Days Outside

365 Days Outside > 83-89

Day 83 We were invited to a neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt today. There were LOTS of people there! We ended up being about 10 minutes late (As is typical around here…) and pretty much all of the eggs were gone. The family who hosts it go to our church, and they are super nice. They…

Dirty Diaper Surprise

For Easter this year I thought it would be really fun to make some surprise eggs for the kids. (I got the idea from sarahjanestudios.com. Hers are so cute!) So I bought lots of cute little toys, and Lindsay and I got together for some crafty time. We ended up with a bunch of dirty…

{Recipe} Schnitzel and Spaetzle

This is one of my favorite meals for two reasons. First, it is SO GOOD. And second, I don’t have to cook it! Now, my husband is a sweetheart and I love him to pieces. But cooking just isn’t his “thing”. The only way I can typically get him to make dinner occasionally, is to…

Happy Easter

I sort of dropped the ball this weekend. I didn’t meet a deadline, I started but didn’t finish some Easter gifts, we missed church because I woke up feeling super sick, and my kitchen is a DISASTER. I was feeling pretty crummy on Sunday morning as we got ready to visit family. Luckily I have…

365 Days Outside

365 Days Outside > 78-82

Day 78 Being sick when the weather is so pretty is the worst. But we did manage to spend a little bit of time outside today, picking lilacs. Day 79 We went for a long walk as a family today. It was a nice day, but we were all still feeling pretty sick. We found…

Fabric Storage (Or Lack Thereof)

As I’m nearing the end of this freelance project I’ve been working on for the past few weeks, I’m getting pretty excited about having more time in my craft room. I miss hanging out down there after the kids are asleep. But before I get to spend some quality time with my sewing machine, there…
