weird.

Addie: Nathan talks to me ALL THE TIME. And he makes fun of my hair. AND he does bunny ears to me. He chases me around at recess and he is always making funny faces at me. Me: Sounds like Nathan likes you. Addie: What? Why would he do all that weird stuff if heContinue reading “weird.”

It’s labor day! Now what do I do with my pants? (Sponsored by Tide VIVID)

Happy labor day! Now put your white pants away. Oh, we’re not following that rule anymore? Winter white you say? Huh. What’s that? You don’t own white pants? Neither did I, until July. I didn’t WANT to own white pants, especially not white skinny jeans. In fact before July I didn’t own a single pieceContinue reading “It’s labor day! Now what do I do with my pants?

and you all get to blurb.

Perhaps you’ll remember when I was all “LOOK AT THE BLURB BOOK I MADE!” and then a day later I was all “LOOK AGAIN!” Well it turns out not only did you look at it, but Blurb noticed as well and liked what I did (thanks!) Now they want to return the favor and grantContinue reading “and you all get to blurb.”

peanut addie-butter and choco-vivi-late

These two. Go ahead, just stare at it, I’ll give you a minute. This is my everyday, this is what I get to be surrounded by in my home. Even better? This is what my girls are growing up with. Vivi has all the confidence in the world, she walks into rooms as though sheContinue reading “peanut addie-butter and choco-vivi-late”

the refinished desk the internet helped me make

It would be easy to give all the credit to Pinterest. You can only see so many craft projects before you start to believe that YOU TOO CAN BE CRAFTY! But let’s rewind for a moment. I was really pregnant when my mom came out for a week, she needed a desk to work atContinue reading “the refinished desk the internet helped me make”

toddle-shopping

Dear World, You’re going to have to be patient and bear with me for the next several months. You see, I have what could pretty much be considered a toddler. Not only does she toddle like it’s her job, she has the will of a thousand stubborn oxen. I’m going to have to take thisContinue reading “toddle-shopping”

surprise!!

Shireen and I don’t have much in common, Cody and I don’t have much in common either, which is probably what makes my relationship with both of these people so wonderful. I love birthdays, keeping surprises eats my spirit from the inside out and I like to make very big deals out of anything thatContinue reading “surprise!!”

loyal-tea

This was supposed to be a post about Tea Collection‘s newest Nordic inspired back to school look for kids. Tea Collection asked if Addie would like to pick out some outfits for back to school, she’d wear them, I’d snap a few photos and write up a little review, tell you where to buy them,Continue reading “loyal-tea”

oh my vivi.

Today has been the first day I’ve really had Vivi all to myself. Addie started school the day I left for New York, between New York and our cruise I was dodging suitcases and swimming in laundry. Cody’s mom stuck around two extra days after grandbabysitting duties last week so today was the first dayContinue reading “oh my vivi.”

daddy babble: someone’s been busy.

First of all, blogging has changed Cody in ways I never would have imagined. You think you’ve been learning a lot about him? YOU AND ME BOTH. His writing has even unclenched a little, all the Cody! Now little lighter on the lawyer! He also knows what it means when I tell him I madeContinue reading “daddy babble: someone’s been busy.”
