When I was in college I majored in Sociology which meant taking a lot of classes about different cultures. And also this one class called Human Sexuality that most definitely should have come with a ...
This week I did another one-page layout but designed it so that it would coordinate with last week’s page since they face each other in my stack of layouts that are sitting on top of my desk al...
Jeff taught Scarlette how to throw a ball this weekend. Not surprisingly, she’s already better at it than me. I guess we know who she gets her athletic abilities from. Unrelated: I was playing ...
I made this image for the cover photo on my facebook timeline. Then I decided to save it as a layered .psd file in case any of y’all want to use it. It has all of the months so you can just swi...
Matched by Ally Condie After all of the heavy reading over the past few weeks, I picked up some more YA dystopian fiction. You’re welcome. This one has the typical love triangle angst but the s...
Are you even kidding me with that cuteness? NOSTALGIA: I was looking for photos of Scarlette from last Valentine’s Day to do a then and now page. It was right around our 100th day in the NICU a...
Thank you so much for all of the suggestions on indoor activities, it is so nice to have new things to add to our routine. Yesterday we did Scarlette’s very first art project and I was so excit...
Outtake: This is what happens when you ask Scarlette to be a dinosaur. She’s got the T-Rex hands down but she thinks that pre-historic lizards licked people. I am in need of some mommy advice....
Today is all about *love* and so I’m playing cupid and sending some *love* to you, my favorite readers, with giveaways and discount codes for some *lovely* products! Also, Scarlette wanted to s...
I think I’m finding my groove with this project. I’ve discovered that the Design F format works best for me, that I really like sequential photos and that simple is better to keep me from...
7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess by Jen Hatmaker. First of all, I want to profusely apologize. This makes two weeks in a row that I’ve recommended books which are completely haunting. N...
So far the list of things that have broken in our house this week are: 1) The toaster. This is a problem as I purchased a large quantity of VitaTop Muffins for cheap a la Extreme Couponers and now I...
Dear Scarlette, I’d like to start off this letter with a few disclaimers. First, I realize you’re going to look back on these photos and roll your eyes at your ill fitting clothes. I am a...
I sort of threw this week together in a hurry so it’s not too fancy. Some pictures of Scarlette doing the motions to the “baby bumblebee” song, after naptime and a ton of doctor vis...
Well, not those. Those are the two steps she took when I was trying to coerce her to walk with promises of Elmo just so that I could get it on camera. But you get the general idea, right? Jeff flew i...
This is what it looks like at our house after nap time. P.S. When I put her in that bed, she was wearing pants. And also socks. I have no idea where she threw them.
This was hands down the quickest page I’ve made thus far. I saw these “Say What?” journaling cards from One Happy Mama last week and *swoon*. Are they not the cutest? So I printed o...
You know how babies pick stuff up off the floor and put it in their mouths? Yeah, not my baby. I don’t know why. Maybe the Lord was like “You know, this mother has had quite a bit of stre...
Kisses From Katie: A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption – by Katie J. Davis. Here’s a warning: this book will mess you up. Seriously. I mean, I’ve been reading Katie’s bl...
Part of staying at home with Scarlette is learning to balance. I am awesome at balance. On, like, a beam. Have I ever talked about that time I was in gymnastics? Would it surprise you to know I fell ...
It’s tough to get a good picture through the page protectors! This week I made the title card and the journaling cards with the labels on them because nothing in my stash was exactly what I wan...
I was going to write a blog post today but instead I’m chasing after this charmingly cute and crazy little girl. And also cleaning up that huge mess you see in the background of these pictures....
I’m about ten books behind on my book review posts and about a million things behind on my things-I-should-be-doing-inste ad-of-posting-book-reviews list. But if you’re like me and there i...
SCARLETTE: The good: Scarlette taught herself how to pump lotion out of the bottle. She’s a genius! The bad: I wasn’t supervising this learning session and now we have some incredibly moi...
Some of y’all had questions about teaching Scarlette sign language. I’ve been doing sign language with Scarlette pretty much since she came home from the hospital. One time, I went to sig...
I designed this week to work together side by side as a two page spread. I think I might just be a scrapbooker again. You can click here to see a larger version. I had to really cull my stories for t...
It’s been awhile since I posted a roundup of things that I am loving right now. So here’s the list of what is making me happy in the new year. 1) Leg warmers for little ones. If I allowed...
1) I thought I bought some sparkly grey eyeshadow. You know, in case I felt the need to wear fancy eye makeup while Jeff and I went out dancing stayed at home and made pancakes in our pajamas. Turns ...
I know that I’ve talked frequently here about my love of moneysavingmom.com. Transitioning to staying at home with Scarlette to care for her medical needs meant we were going to be pretty tight...
Disclaimer: In order to understand this post, you’ll need to know the following: I call my niece Nixie. She calls me Keeka. She calls Scarlette “Beans”. Actually, we all call Scarl...
