As She Is

Yesterday when I got home from work, Flynn was still napping and Juniper was in an extra sweet mood. We were sitting at the kitchen table having a snack when I thought to myself, “I want to remember everything about this little girl as she is RIGHT NOW, because all too soon it will be…

Juniper’s Latest Paintings

Juniper and I have been doing quite a bit of painting this week. I’ll say “Here you sit and paint while I clean up the art room a bit”, but I almost always end up sitting and watching her work. She is just so dang entertaining. The other night I taught her how to use…

Juniper’s Family Portrait

I finally remembered to take pictures of Juniper’s big project! I love love love this painting. I love everything about it. The bright colors and textures are fantastic, and her silly drawings make me happy. When we were almost finished, she gave it a good hard look and declared that it needed flowers. I LOVE…

Not a Baby Anymore

Remember these swings I mentioned wanting to make? We finally bought some wood and went for it! Of course, we are cheapos, so we bought whatever was in the discounted scrap wood pile at Menard’s. Which means I couldn’t follow the tutorial exactly because the measurements were all different… It was such an irritating process…

Grand Galloping Gala

This past Saturday we had the MOST FUN PARTY ever, for no reason at all. We are big Friendship is Magic fans in our house, so we thought it would be fun to throw a Grand Galloping Gala party and invite all of our pony-loving friends. It was ridiculous amounts of fun. Everyone came dressed…

“Do you love any people?” “Just one of them.” “Which one?” “MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” “Let’s make a beautiful tower! Me and Flynn right here and you can be on the top. Like a trophy!” (She basically wanted me to sit on them haha) “Knock Knock” “Whose there” “Cheeky” “Cheeky who?” “YOU ARE!” “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!” “That’s a joke?! I…
