I did this mini painting a few weeks ago as a gift for my husband, and he LOVED it. It’s the best thing ever! And if you are wondering why a gift that says “I’ll never love you” would be so fantastic, let me explain. Have you ever heard of Video Game High School? It’s…
Me this morning: “Oh look, I’m totally going to be on time for work! It’s time for me to leave now. I think I’ll decorate a cake with Juniper.” Yup. I was late for work because I decided to decorate a cake. (Totally worth it.) Oma’s birthday was yesterday, and we are going to visit…
I have always been a huge fan of journals. I could write a whole series of blog posts about how awesome they are. (Maybe I will. Would anyone be interested in that?) I LOVE going back and reading my old journals. I might even venture to say they’re my favorite books on our shelves. But…

YES. Yes I do. I’ve never been much of a fan of winter… but I DO love a good snowman! We got a ridiculous ton of snow yesterday. I even got to work from home. And all day I just kept thinking, ‘we are going to build the biggest snowman ever!’ Well, we finally got…
I got to do two more mini paintings last month. My favorite! I know, I said Instagram paintings were my favorite.. but both of them are! I just love the tiny sizes. They’re so cute. Speaking of cute. When I showed the girl on the right her finished painting, her 6 year old son said…
Flynn (Half asleep on Christmas Eve) “I hope Hoho gives me a bomb bag and a boomerang…” He kept jumping off of things and yelling “HOOKAH!” and it took me foooooorever to realize he was saying “Hookshot”. Obviously. “I want to go to sleep AND play with those.” (his blocks) “Well, you can’t do both”…
