And Sophia is winning. Meet the latest addition to our family. This guy used to live on the top shelf at Barnes and Noble. As soon as we walk in the door, which is fairly often, Sophia be...
Ever have a morning epiphany? Where you look in the mirror and realize you look "mature" enough to be the age you are with the life you have? Sometimes I seem to look and feel j...
Before During After! She’s so pretty I can’t stop staring at her!
How about a Cliff’s Notes version of the past month? There was Valentine’s Day – lots of baking, and a few girly gifts for our girls. A little fun in the snow Some fun at the Mall of America A few Bo...
Can you hear the bounce in my step? :) Ever since Sophia had to watch her little buddy go off to preschool while I was still a nanny, it’s been her dream to hop on the bus a...
I have these jeans in a dark wash: And I miss them desperately. It’s been about ten months since I was able to wear them…and that was with a rubber band to make them more comfortable as I grew ...
Evelyn’s first Christmas was so much fun! It was the first year Sophia could really understand what was going on and what Christmas was all about. Unfortunately, when I tried talking to h...
Sophia’s cousin Lucas is in town for Christmas, which means that both Sophia and Grandma are in heaven! I made some sugar cookies, along with a few other Chirstmas treats. Once I started frosti...
I dont have my act together this year, but if you were to receive our card...heres what youd see in your mailbox. :)Retro Stripe Frame Christmas CardMake a statement with personalized Christmas cards...
The Minneapolis downtown Macy’s has a Christmas display every year. I’ve only been there a few times, but people in the area make a big deal out of going every year. Usually, the do a dif...
Every parent does it. Every parent thinks, “Wow. My kids are the BEST kids. How did I get so lucky to get the greatest kids ever?” Maybe not that exact thought, but something ...
I never know what day it is anymore. I just happened to get lucky and look at a calendar long enough to realize that today is the day our darling baby Evelyn is 2 months old! It’s hard to...
We are very thankful for our two sweet girls. Here’s a peek at our tiny Thanksgiving celebration, just the four of us. Thank you Pottery Barn Kids for a cute breakfast idea! ...
Well, you may not expect this. It’s been over three weeks since I’ve posted, so I really should recap the last three weeks, post cute pictures of my girls, etc., but I’m not going to do that.&#...
We had an eventful weekend and lots of good time outside. I have to keep reminding myself to make the most of any time we can be outdoors, since winters in MN can be soooo long. And, appa...
Evelyn is two weeks old and I’m ready to shed every last bit of baby weight. The problem with having a c-section is that they’re pretty picky about how much activity you can do before six weeks...
Our friend Nealy took some amazing and adorable pictures of Evelyn the day after we came home. She had taken some of Sophia when she was just ten days old (as well as family pictures last year ...
Dan’s going back to work…I’m somewhat devastated. If only paternity leave were as long as maternity leave. I’m happy to have this time at home with the girls, but it just won’t be as much...
One of my favorite things to do in the warmer months in MN is go to the downtown Farmers Market on Thursdays in Minneapolis. I love pretty much anything downtown – the hustle and bustle energiz...
We came home Sunday evening…it’s hard to believe after all of the very loooong waiting of pregnancy, we’ve already had the baby and have been home for a few days. Some of the pictures of Evelyn...
Naming Evelyn was no picnic. If you’ve been following us through this pregnancy, you already know this. We both love older names, and I wanted one with three syllables that sounded nice w...
She’s finally here…and she finally has a name!! Evelyn Anne was born at 10:41am (the official time) Thursday morning. She was 22 inches long and 8 lbs. 6 oz. The entire experience w...
I was due on Saturday…if you’re unsure about the math, that was four days ago. By this time with Sophia (she was a week over), I was emotional, frustrated…I could go on and on. This time, I’m a...
These popped up in our kitchen a few weeks ago. My mother-in-law found them when she was out one day and figured I would enjoy something that combined something Russian and something to do with...
Doesn’t everything look more adorable in children’s handwriting? I spent a large chunk of the past seven years as a nanny for such a wonderful family. To try and list what was so great about th...
I got a ton a steals for Sophia from Gap over the summer. I knew what I was expecting to get for her – I was looking for pants. Shirts are easier and faster to sew (I’m assuming anyway – ...
We have been a bit busy the last week or so. Hmm…who am I kidding? We’ve been busy for about 2 years and 1 month straight now. Dan turned 31, and for the second year in a row, no picture ...
My favorite thing to get at Noodles&Co. is Pasta Fresca. It’s SO good and I finally found a recipe that imitates it really well. It’s great, but don’t forget the parmesan on top – it ...
...haha! If only I new, and if I did, would I dare proclaim it on our blog, without a picture and before informing grandparents? I think not. Sorry for the tease - this process has ...
I think I’m one of those mom’s who takes way too many pictures. BUT, as my Aunt Carolyn has told me many times, it’s good to take pictures of EVERYTHING because they grow up way too fast! Sophi...
