So today I am still thinking about last weeks confessions. Still amazed at how hard that was to admit and how quick people were to tell me they had the same (albeit different) fears. Now I am thinkin...
I am just starting to use instagram. Not sure about it as a social app but I do love the options for photo filters. Here is my morning via instagram:
One of the blogs I read faithfully was inspired by another bloggers post abut her “real” life, not the life we just show online. She decided to follow suit and even began a list as more a...
I feel like I have not been around at all lately. Not been able to enjoy doing some tweak in the house, preparing for spring. Of course, we aren’t having spring-like weather so my motivation di...
We are creating a backyard garden. It was something I have never considered until living in this house with it’s large backyard and farm like qualities. It is old farmland after all, of course ...
I love fabric. And I very rarely do I find I love a particular fabric designer. I thought I was picky. I liked one Amy Butler print but not another. A couple Michael Millers, etc etc. But then I foun...

You thought I was done last time, right? WRONG!!! I will admit this. It is a sickness for me. I will tweak things over and over until I get them JUST right. And I wasn’t feeling like the kids...
So as I mentioned last week, life has been busy. Hectic. Unorganized. So not much has gotten done around the house but I am trying to keep doing things that don’t take a lot of time or supplies...
I have been so busy with work these days, that I haven’t had a chance to do any fun projects around the house. I haven’t had any time to even blog (except today because I have a sick kidl...

peacefulSo this is the last day of 2011. Wow! I am not sure what that should feel like, but it doesn’t feel like that. I think this low key holiday we had didn’t quite create the build up...

change the way you see To be honest, this has been a big struggle for me lately. I think when the weather gets colder and gray, I tend to get down in the dumps more often then not. It could be season...
To be honest, my kids never take the greatest school pics. Somehow the idea of smiling on cue is lost on them. I never do reshoots though as I am worried the second batch may be worst then the first,...
There have been so many great ideas about activity based advent calendars on blogs and pinterest in the last month, that I wanted to make my own. But I wanted it to match my style and use things I al...
