Lately I have been slightly obsessed with the idea of collections. I thought I’d start a mini blog series about collections, which my husband has decided to call “The Collectorials”. I have a few collections that I’ll be sharing, and I’ve got a few collections that I wish I had! (Does any one else dream…
Every time I make cupcakes, my brother’s girlfriend tells me she wants one. The only thing is, she lives 1000 miles away! So I decided to make a special batch just for her and I include them in the Christmas package I sent home. (Last week… yes I am a huge slacker! At least it’s…
The difference between nine months and ten months is pretty incredible. This little mister has FOUR teeth now, can stand up on his own and loves chasing his sister around the house with his walker toy. It’s been a busy month! My favorite thing right now is how excited he is to see me when…
When I do drawing commissions, my favorite parts to work on are the eyes and the hair. And dogs are fun to draw because they are mostly hair! This 5×7 drawing will be heading to Washington DC. I decided recently that I need to draw more often. So I bought myself a nice big sketch…
Day 14 Today we made a surprise for Daddy in our back yard. When he looks outside in the morning he will know how much we love him. Day 15 Our snowman is officially the only snow left in our yard. Well, accept the tiny spots of snow here and there that Juniper insisted we…

“Mmmm! Mom, this is good soup!” “It’s not soup, it’s chowder.” “Eww, I hate chowder…” Hahaha! Sorry, I can’t think of chowder without laughing at my silly brother. And yes, I know he has LOTS of ammo on me when it comes to “stupid things we’ve said” battles. (I hold my ground, that car did…
Day 7 Walks are a big hit around here. Juniper loves to push Flynn in the stroller, and he loves driving around! We went all around today and collected lots of sticks and rocks to paint. Day 8 We were visiting Oma so we took Trevor for a walk after lunch. Juniper even got some…
I’ve got a little crafty DIY for you today! I love crafting with things found in nature, because going outside and collecting it is half the fun! (AND it’s free, so that’s a bonus too.) So get out there, collect some sticks, and let’s get started. 1. You will need: A large piece of paper,…
