My religion does not observe Lent, but I’ve always liked the idea. Gathering together in solidarity and going without for a greater purpose. Alli asked me if I would participate in the Forty Days of Water campaign through Blood:Water Mission this year to help build wells in Uganda and bring awareness to Blood:Water’s mission.

Codeo and Caseyet
We can all agree that Facebook keeps track of some pretty strange facts. Did you know that Cody and I didn’t get married on Facebook until after he got a real job? He was afraid if a prospective firm looked him up, saw me, then found my blog it would be game over. It wasContinue reading “Codeo and Caseyet”
giggling curtains and my toddler is not my biggest fan.
I went to Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday to acquire a pot rack because I bought new pots and they’re so amazing I can’t bear the thought of them all leapfrogging over each other in the cabinet and getting scratched, see also: a pot rack makes your kitchen look SUPER official.

stains worth saving (sponsored by tide.)
I once had an older woman walk up to me in a department store and ask me if I had a baby. “Yes!

vivi at twenty (months.)
So toddlers. SUPER CUTE. SUPER high maintenance. I forgot how exhausting these little people can be. Maybe when kids are closer it all just kind of blends together into one sticky fingered blur, but I had a good four year break from toddlers and four years is MORE than enough time to forget what havingContinue reading “vivi at twenty (months.)”

carpe the chocolate diem. (updated with even better photo.)
My grandma is allergic to chocolate. While I’m not a chocoholic, I can appreciate good chocolate and appreciate a bit here and there to feed my emotions when necessary. We all know the term “Like a kid in a candy store.” But what I never understood about the term was A) sure, you can putContinue reading “carpe the chocolate diem. (updated with even better photo.)”
clutter snap.
Something snapped in me this week. The clutter that surrounds me is overwhelming at times. TOO MUCH STUFF. My mantra lately has been “A place for everything and everything in its place.” Right now everything does not have a place. I have been reading articles about de-cluttering and the psychological reasons clutter. It’s a roughContinue reading “clutter snap.”
