When I first saw this house and looked at the kitchen, I was so excited. No, it didnt have beautiful creamy, inset cabinets, a stunning backsplash or the perfect farmhouse sink but I cant be picky as...
This isnt a design blog nor am I a designer at all. I wish I were better at decorating because I like it so much but mostly I just decorate with things that I like and that I think look good even if ...
One of my dearest friends, Lela, and her family are moving across the country in a couple of weeks. Every time I think about it I get a lump in my throat. She is one of the most loved people I know a...

I drove to Arizona for the weekend with my friend, Kristi, who was also heading to the heat for a girls weekend with her high school friends. It worked out perfectly for her to drive with me - we wer...
I just returned home from Arizona for my nephews wedding and Ill post about that later but let me just say that it is so nice to return home to find a little package from Sweden waiting to be opened ...
Over the weekend our neighborhood had a local fair called "Spring Fest". We went last year and had a good time so we decided to go again this year. The fair had a fun parade with clowns, marc...
Im seriously in love with my baby. Sometimes I feel guilty about how much I love him but I know thats silly. Its amazing how holding him and kissing him and looking at him makes everything else in my...
I think were out of the woods with the worst of the "terrible twos" with William. I love this age! It has its challenges as well (Im about to start potty-training! Ack!) but generally he keep...
The other day I was doing my makeup and the baby was in his cradle in my room dozing in and out of consciousness. William wandered in and walked up to the baby and I observed him in the mirror as he ...
This is a fast, easy recipe that you can do with lots of different ingredients - kind of what you have "on hand". Its one of my favorite ways to make pasta since I like pasta with lots of fla...
Around the beginning of the year William was starting to give up his nap. Mostly this was a result of me wanting freedom during the day to use the afternoon to go to the zoo or to the grocery st...
Theres not much to say about this post because the picture is so amazing. I bought William these orange-red sunglasses the other day on clearance at Gap. He was going on a "trip" to run erran...
Davids favorite cookie is the snickerdoodle. You may or may not be aware that Im obsessed with chocolate chip cookies so I almost always make those when Im in a cookie-baking mood. However, I felt li...
The first couple of years we lived in San Diego we were apartment dwellers. The apartment was nice but it was awful to not have any outdoor "natural" space. We lived across the street from a ...
Still in that precious newborn/so-tired-my-eyes-are-g oing-permanently-crossed stage. But just look at this baby! Im obsessed.
I apologize for the grotesque nature of this post but I realized something the other day - jelly is disgusting. I really love peanut butter and jam or honey sandwiches but I was out of both and had a...
While my mom was here she showed me this movie that my nephews made during Sunday dinner at my parents house a few weeks ago. Maybe its super funny because theyre my nephews but I could not...
I always think that getting out of the house is going to be so good for my sanity, and a lot of times it is, but sometimes (usually near the end of an outing) it becomes apparent that leaving my nest...
My mom was here last week and it was lovely. I miss her. She cleaned my house, let me sleep in every morning while she took the baby, made batch after batch of scrambled eggs for Will (hes obsessed l...
Our Easter was pretty low key . . . and so this post will be.Will colored eggs in his diaper (on Saturday with Davids family).And applauded his colorful efforts.We hid them. He found them (...
I was super worried about coming home to William with a new baby. I think thats a common "mother concern" when you have more than one child. I also worried I wouldnt love this baby like I lov...
Childbirth is entirely exhausting and while Im super ready for bed at this moment I want to document my sweet boys birth before I forget the details. On Saturday night, my girlfriends and I went to t...
Its no April Fools joke. My sweet "nameless" fellow was born yesterday and we are in deep smitt. He came in a hurry and is a whopper at 9 pounds 4 ounces. More details later!
One more sad thing about my fall the other day. The trauma crew cut all my clothes off (while they were still concerned about my neck and back) - including one of my life-saving maxi dresses and...
If youre my friend on Facebook or Instagram you probably saw this picture yesterday. It has been an intense 24 hours, let me tell you. Yesterday morning I decided I needed to get out of the house. I ...
This weekend was a doozy but I have a lot to be thankful for.1. David has been so amazing. He has done laundry, taken sole care of our child, made meals, cleaned the house, rubbed my back when I cry ...
Well, dudes. I caught the sicks. Not just any sicks, either. The pneumonia sicks - at 38 weeks pregnant. Its pretty much the worst combination Ive ever encountered. Basically this weekend has in...
A couple of years ago, at a potluck dinner, one of my friends brought a most delicious dessert. I asked her for the recipe and she told me it was incredibly easy! When she wrote it down for me, I bel...
My sweet friend, Jaimey, offered to throw me a baby shower a few weeks ago. It was incredibly kind of her and made me feel really good. I felt pretty greedy accepting another baby shower since this i...
