Day 296 We drew with sidewalk chalk for a bit today. Juniper drew some flowers, and I drew a Master Sword which Flynn kept trying to pick up. His Zelda obsession makes me laugh. The kids like to check out our strawberry plant. There are a few growing, one should be ready any day now.…
Once I decided to go for it and put some designs on Spoonflower, I MAY have gotten a bit obsessed with the idea… A couple of lunch breaks and an hour or two after work later, I’ve got a nice little collection done! Oh my goodness, so much fun! I can’t wait to order a…
Bedtimes at our house are always horrible. I start having anxiety issues as soon as the sun starts to go down. Flynn is a dream. You say a prayer, sing a song, give him hugs and kisses (sometimes a million of each) and make sure he has his carrot, broccoli and a blanket and he’s…
Obsessing over… George Alexopoulos. Haha! Ok, that sounds a bit creeper, but I love his artwork!! And I just commissioned him to do a portrait of our family AND I AM SO STINKING EXCITED. His customs are so cute, I seriously can’t wait to see how he draws us. (And look at his Zelda figurines!…
Day 283 The kids love flipping through my watercolor sketch book. They get extra excited when they get to the pages with their own paintings on them. (You can see Flynn’s handiwork in the bottom right photo.) Day 284 Happy Fourth of July! We invited some friends over for some lunch and watery fun. The…
I’ve been having a rough time lately, between tooth aches, crazy kids, stressful work projects and other typical life stuff. This painting idea has been in my head for a while now, and the other night I REALLY needed some art therapy so I curled up in bed and started doodling. It helped quite a…
You know what I’ve been missing a lot lately? Our 365 Days Outside challenge! We went on intermission a long while back, when I started working full time and the days got shorter. (Lame. I hate in the winter how it’s already dark when I get home!) We still spend quite a bit of time…
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…
Can I just say, I love painting! Seriously, after a rough day there is nothing better than curling up in bed with some watercolors. My sheets might disagree.. They’re a little more colorful now… haha! I am in love with how this particular painting turned out, such a cute little family. I SO need to…
