Happy Spring

I had forgotten how much I absolutely love spring. In fact, I’m not sure I ever even realized how much I adore this season. Sure, as a kid I always got excited when it started getting warmer again, but only because that meant it was almost summer. And back then, summer was definitely my favorite…

365 Days Outside

365 Days Outside > 60-64

Day 60 Today was the most beautiful day! It definitely felt like spring!! Shaun took the kids for a walk and the lady down the street gave Juniper some flowers. When I got home from work I think we spent more time outside than we did inside. Right up until bedtime. It was pretty great.…

{The Collectorials} Tins

I just found these photos that I took a couple months ago and I decided it was about time I shared another collection on here. The last one I shared was my coin collection, and here is my tin collection! I’ve been collecting candy tins for a few years now. It all started when my…

365 Days Outside

365 Days Outside > 56-59

Between being busy with work and a few sick days, this wasn’t the best week for us with our getting outside challenge. We are all finally starting to feel better and get back into our daily groove. Day 56 Today we took a nice long walk, collecting sticks and playing with dirt along the way.…

A Hat for Baby Troy

If you remember last month I mentioned that my good friend was about to have a baby. Well, I think it’s funny because that VERY day she was in the hospital giving birth to the cutest little guy! I made this little hat for Troy a couple of weeks ago out of a pair of…

Creative Procrastination

I have been so busy lately with freelance work that I haven’t had any time to do anything creative, in a hands-on sense. Sometimes when I get too busy, my brain just shuts down and if I don’t stop and make something, I get a little crazy. So the other night, instead of finishing up…

Excitements

I am a slightly ridiculous amount of excited right now. See this cruddy webcam photo? Do you know what this means?? My hair is ALMOST long enough to stick it all up in a giant hair bow on top of my head! I finally feel like I’ve got some length and it makes me happy.…

365 Days Outside > 50-55

Day 50 Juniper and I took a walk to the lake down the street. I always love holding this sweet girl’s hand. The lake was pretty, and we had fun watching the river from the bridge. We saw a bunch of wild cats and of course had to bring home some sticks. Day 51 Today’s…

February Wrap Up

February seemed so long for such a little month. (Maybe it was that extra day thrown in there.) Between work, freelance stuff, and getting sick it’s a miracle that I got anything done! Well, I guess you could say I got a lot of stuff done. But my house would disagree. I did manage to…

Small Changes

Remember this couple? I did my best to make the groom look a tiny bit less like his dad. I shortened his jacket some and trimmed/lightened his beard. I think it makes him look a little younger, but I don’t know. What do you think? I bought some new paper today and I’m really excited…
