Goodness help me, I can’t stop asking her over and over again…
The more I look at this photo, the more I love it. Classic Ella Faye at the age of three. Camera in hand, stuffy friend, a letter from her friend Madilyn clutched tightly against her. Ella-picked out...
Hello friends! How was your Valentine’s Day? We had a nice calm day here, started off with warm drinks straight out of bed, courtesy of Daddy. Ella was in shock over her hot chocolate and Poppy...
Love these little Valentines of ours. They brighten every day. Sometimes it’s a lot to fathom that my love for one person and his love for me could create these two perfect beings. On this Vale...
I see . . . Anthony in the front yard, walking the push mower over our dry grass. Sometimes he runs and it makes me smile. I hear . . . a breeze through the open front windows. Something about it sou...

There have been quite a few nice things happen lately, in the day to day life. I try to make it a priority to catch these small acts or experiences, grab a tight hold on them and squeeze everything I...
This little girl has learned how to climb and there is absolutely no stopping her. I can’t imagine how long she’s been waiting to get up there on the sofa. She mostly likes to perch there...
It’s been a few weeks since Miss Poppers turned the big ONE and I think I’ve finally come to terms with it. I tell both the girls that they’ll always be my baby (cue Mariah Carey, e...
“Look Mama, I’m ballerin-ing!” Yesterday morning as we were getting ready for the day, I turned to see this girl lightly and steadily walking her way along the ledge of our bed, arm...

We went up to Pinetop to stay with Ant’s mom and step-dad for the New Year’s weekend. Our friends Erin and Alex joined us and the boys enjoyed a day of snowboarding on Saturday while us g...
Hi there! I’m back with another outfit styling from way back when. Well, I think it’s about time we fancy things up around here. Most of my outfit photos are snapped on our way out somewh...
Ant and I attended our first cooking class together on Tuesday night. I say first because I see many more of these in our future. Here are a few photos I shared on Instagram as the class progressed: ...
These are the tales of a little girl, small and feisty, my blondy-blue, who is coming of age and bringing her parents along on her extraordinary ride. I heard her little feet shuffle out of her roo...
Hey friends, I’m playing catch-up on my outfit posts! Here’s the first of several I hope to post over the coming weeks… This outfit is from long before Thanksgiving, just after I re...
Poppy was ready for her morning nap by the time we sat down for breakfast this morning. She sat wriggling in front of her scrambled eggs and apple chunks, periodically slamming the pieces to the floo...
Last year at this time, we were eagerly and anxiously and nervously and excitedly waiting for our second little girl to make her way into our world. She had already taught me so much about myself thr...
Ant and I found ourselves swooning (okay maybe I was the only one swooning) over this cute video the other night after my friend Somer mentioned it on Instagram. Two of my favorites, singing together...
Usually Christmas Day is spent running around town to visit with my dad’s family and Ant’s family, but this year we decided to keep it at home and host Christmas dinner for both his and m...
The image we sent out to family and friends on our Christmas cards this year. We actually had them printed and mailed and sent out before Christmas – that’s a rarity for us… More ph...
Christmas this year was extra special around our neighborhood. It was Poppy’s first, and having our two little girls to dote over was so great. Ella really got the hang of receiving this year (...

Yesterday I took my first little on a special date, just the two of us. We spent the morning at the Children’s Museum of Phoenix, then went to lunch before heading home to pick up little sister...
Well folks, the big push is over. My hands are still, my mind is relaxed, and that mile-long to do list is long gone. Relieved as I may sound, I’m glad for all that work because it amounted to ...
Hi guys! Just popping in to share some exciting news! Last night I found out my donut rattles are featured on The Huffington Post! They’re included in a slideshow of a nice little roundup of ba...
Tomorrow’s the day! It’s what’s kept my hands busybusybusy, kept me up late at night, and the reason it’s been so quiet around these parts lately. (All worth it, though –...
On Ella’s closet door, our family of turkeys…(left to right, clockwise) Ant, Papa, Ella, me, Yaya, and at the very bottom, a tiny Poppy. There is so, so much to be thankful for this year....
I am feeling particularly grateful today after this long, busy, very full weekend we just had. So I thought it would be a good day to introduce a new feature here on this little space. Every Monday m...
