I live for them. Happy weekend, friends! xoxo
We spent some time outside this morning. Our backyard isn’t much. A patch of grass with a budding orange tree in the corner. Beside the patch is a gated area with an empty hole of a once-pool. ...
It’s really starting to feel like Summer around here. And with the early arrival of warmer temperatures, we’ve been dappling in Summertime activities. Here’s a look at what we’...
And here’s a little Ella-ism just for good measure… “I have found a bird in the woods. It lives in my hat.” Yes, okay. Here’s hoping the little things (such as pails on ...
While colored pants may not be destined to become classic, they have quickly become a classic for me in this season of life. Bright red, royal blue, and even the ultimate colorless hue. I never thoug...
I decided to attempt another Photo an Hour challenge on Friday morning. I didn’t quite know what was in store for the day but figured I would just document our normal comings and goings. I am s...
(more photos from Easter Sunday) These people, they have my heart… Have a happy weekend! xoxo
Good morning friends! Not much to say today, just checking in with an outfit post. How do you feel about stripes on stripes? Or mixing patterns? I’m always dressing the girls in competing patte...
On Easter Eve, Ella Faye and I baked and decorated chocolate bunny cupcakes. She delicately built each little face and sneakily ate a few pink noses for good measure. I love baking with this girl. Sh...
On Saturday we took the girls to the annual Easter egg hunt at our church. I am so thankful to be a part of that community – I grew up a part of this church and am thrilled that our girls will ...
Yesterday little Ella Faye attended her first dance class. She has been so excited the past week, shopping for tiny pink leotards with sparkly pink tutus, trying on shiny black tap shoes. Anthony met...
Lately it seems that we can’t decide what to do with our date nights. We might make dinner plans, but then change them up last minute and drive off in the opposite direction. I guess we should ...
I think, sometimes, that the universe has a way of keeping us in line. I like to think that we are all meant to be doing certain things at certain times, that we all have a purpose…and I definitely b...
Above, sickies at the start of the week. Below, happier moments that got us through… Last week thought it was hot stuff. Last week thought it could come in and shake things up and watch us stum...
It’s that time. The temperature’s rising, I’m dreading the sweltering heat of the valley already, and we’re craving a Summertime getaway. We’re starting to think about t...
Happy Saturday, guys! Just popping in this morning to share that there’s a little write-up about me and my handmade goods over on the Hello There! House blog today! Lindsee was so kind and swee...
Telling us the way it all works… While I was drafting Poppy’s Tiny Style post last week, I came across this one from October that had somehow gotten lost and overlooked. Looking through t...
Over the past few weeks, Ella has become a master tricycler. One day it just clicked. Out of the blue she understood how to pedal and keep herself going and how to turn the handlebars to take her in ...
Mother Nature can’t make up her mind in Phoenix this week. She gives us sunny, warm and bright days that seem to be ushering in our Summer season early. Then she turns around and drops the temp...
Hayyy there! How was your weekend? We had a nice one, slow and relaxing and some quality time as a family. I really couldn’t have asked for anything more from a weekend. Here are some scenes an...
Lately Poppy has started to notice the process of picking out clothes and getting dressed, and every time I walk past her closet, she’s pointing and telling me what she wants to wear. I’v...
Good morning! How was your weekend? Today I’m sharing a little outfit I wore out to dinner and a show with the husband. It was the best date! So for Christmas, my parents bought Anthony and me ...
Hi all! I thought I’d better update this space and share that a handful of Kismet plush dolls are now in the shop. This new batch of boys and girls went through a little update as I’ve sw...
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...
I realized last night that we’re in a phase of life right now that seems to be moving at a calm pace. It’s refreshing to be here after the storm of busy we carried on through at the end o...
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...
