melted crayon eggs

rainbows

after feeling inspired by some of the cute st. particks day rainbow crafts being shared over on oh happy day, i wanted to make something to surprise for finn. we have a long, narrow hallway that...

uncle kyle

it's no secret that finn LOVES his uncles. he talks about jeff's brother, kyle, and my brother, nathan, endlessly. when you ask finn how he got so big, he for some reason replies 'from uncle nathan...

cates park

we had one of the nicest days this week exploring a new park with a new friend (that feels like someone i've known forever). a perfect and sunny afternoon of our kiddos running, throwing rocks,...

happy everything

our bedroom

continuing on with the house tour, a few pictures of our bedroom. it was a tricky space to photograph- the lighting isn't the best - especially on gloomy grey days that this city is known for, so i...

a tiny kitchen

our new kitchen is ever so small. in comparison to our last space, its TINY. but i have quickly grown to completely love its quaintness. keeping it clean is a breeze as there are literally no...

finn's room

we are getting closer to being unpacked and settled in to our new space, so i thought it might be nice to share a few pictures. finn's room has been a much anticipated space with this move. as most...
