Making Progress

The past week has been crazy busy. We had a really great long weekend though. On Thursday we had Thanksgiving dinner with cousins in St. Louis. It’s always nice to be with family. And the rest of the weekend was spent being together, lounging around the house, sleeping in, and painting up a storm. I…

Christmas Card 2013

Well, we managed to do it! Here is our Christmas card for this year. I didn’t think we would be able to make one this year, because I have just been so so busy. But we came up with an idea (Ok, Shaun came up with an idea) and took photos this past weekend. I’m…

Instagram Paintings

Remember the other day when I mentioned a secret project? Well, here they are! Instagram paintings! I’m now offering two sizes in my shop, 4×4 (which these are) and a slightly bigger 6×6. These are super fun to paint because of the Instagram filters. It’s not often I get to paint someone’s hair blue! I…

Life Lately

I am so tired. All. The. Time. Like, my brain is running in slow motion tired, and it takes me forever to conjure up the motivation to do a dang thing. It makes working.. interesting. I am towards the end of a crazy huge project, and I just want it to be done. It doesn’t…

365 Days Outside > 355-361

Day 355 Apparently it’s so cold the kids are confused about what season it is. Juniper shoveled out driveway and then brought out the sled! Day 356 Lately Juniper has been really into learning about outer space, especially the moon. We’ve started tracking the moon phases in a notebook, and she loves it. And it…

The Comedian(s!)

Today is a grand event! This will be my first time including Flynn in the Comedian posts! He has been talking so much lately, in full sentences even, and he cracks me up. Mostly just because it’s so weird having actual conversations with him. ** Flynn ** “So Flynn, where should we eat dinner?” “In…

Instax Wall

I have had the absolute best time with the Instax wide camera I won with our Christmas photo last year. It’s a fun camera! (I would love to own an Instax mini someday too) I have this photo holder that I had been using to display a handful of the photos, but I wanted to…

DIY Invitation Sleeping Bags

A couple of weeks ago I got to work on a fun project. My friend’s daughter is having a slumber party and she asked me to design the invitations. Then a quick Photoshop project turned into sewing a dozen tiny sleeping bags! It just so happened that this silly little green rabbit thing fit perfectly…

October via Instagram

October was a fun month, with Kid’s Clothes Week, Halloween, pumpkin patches and leaf piles. Basically it was just a fun month. I love watching the seasons change. I’m definitely not happy about it being dark already when I get home from work though… I’m going to miss getting to play outside all evening! I…

365 Days Outside > 350-354

Day 350 I just love these little rock people Juniper and I made. I sort of wish I had brought them inside to glue together. The kids love digging through that rock garden. Which means there are rocks EVERYWHERE, but I don’t mind. I like digging through the rocks too! Day 351 It was wet…
