Oh hey guys! Long time, no see — as usual. It’s like that in real life over here too. Everyone we see, it’s like OMG It’s been too long! Let’s not let so much time go by before we get together next. But it always does. You know how it is. Anyhoo, since Stevie is…
Well, well, well. Here we are again! I will be celebrating my 6th Mother’s Day, how about you? The husband has learned — just in these six short years of blissful parenthood — that the greatest gift he can give me for Mother’s Day is time away from my child. But if that fails, because life is…
We survived another holiday! That’s not to say that Stevie wasn’t still in FULL ON Easter-mode when he woke up this morning. At 6:30 he had sweets on the brain, and certainly hadn’t forgotten the lollipop we promised him “later”. His favorite game as of late is to watch me put Hot Wheels into Easter eggs…
Halloween. Come and gone. And I hate to admit, I was dreading it. The weekend leading up to Halloween, had me feeling all the things. (Mostly anxiety.) I scrolled through my social media and saw everyone having the BEST HALLOWEEN WEEKEND EVERRRR for like 4 days straight. And here I was, barely able process how…
So I have a confession to make. Holidays… Oh, I don’t know, you guys. I have a hard time getting excited for the holidays themselves anymore. It kinda just brings to light the yucky side of consumerism and it’s hard to enjoy the real meaning behind them. But obnoxious preaching aside, it’s such a relief…
Merry Christmas from us !! Christmases with Stevie. Hm. I’m trying to think how to describe it… They really seem to simultaneously get harder and easier each year. Harder because Stevie knows what he wants and he wants it now. No exceptions. Lots of tantrums, screaming, demanding, and more presents!!!! I know he’s not the…
Hope everyone had a great Halloween! Ours was surprisingly busy. And I am surprisingly glad that it is over. I think I’m just excited for November and all the things in store the next few weeks! Friday morning we stopped by Stevie’s preschool for the Halloween parade. If you imagined that Stevie was super excited to wear…
Just going out to dinner. Leaning towards staying warm! Which look is is your favorite?
OK just one more craft for the week. I am DIY-ed out. It had to be easy and it had to be inexpensive. With my logic, ornaments are small – therefore faster to finish – so I figured I’d go in that direction. This one took longer than the ribbon ornament because you have to cut out so many squares,…
Oh, this tinsel tree. I made so many mistakes that it took forever and I had to redo it 3 times. It’s not difficult by any means, but I didn’t have a tutorial to follow, so I was winging it. And we all know how that goes. My uncraftiness really had a chance to shine…
