We actually really do! Are you as surprised as I was? Because I sure was caught off guard by this revelation. It sort of snuck up on me. Granted, we cheated a little by enjoying most all of our meals with precious friends at a nearby cabin, which eliminated the tedious task of planning, packing and preparing meals, tent-side. Maybe… Read More
Camping Prep & the Baby Face
We’re headed out to the west side of the State to go camping tomorrow. You know, the ‘sleeping in a tent’ type camping. For 3 days and 2 nights. With our children. For the first time ever. Yes, we’re crazy. And no, we haven’t a clue what we’re in for. I am both terrified and giddy with excitement, all at… Read More
I was Weeding the Vegetable Garden…
{and other lame excuses for why I’ve been such a delinquent blogger lately} I was busy growing sprouts… I was locking myself, my children and our pup out of our house while my husband slept soundly in our room. Good thing one of our screens doesn’t lock properly into it’s window and Bean was willing to slither in through the… Read More
Girl Meets Toad
{Alternately entitled: “I’m finally getting brave enough to fiddle with my Lightroom software”} Introducing the epic sequel to “Girl Meets Worm”… Toad. Meet Girl. Toad dislikes Girl. Girl Likes Toad. Very much. {the end}
The Simply Bloom Revamp
This happened completely and utterly by accident. I promise. Okay, so there’s a slight chance I was coveting the new blog I just designed for a friend of mine and just maybe the idea of a blog face-lift crossed my mind. For a nanosecond. But what happened next caught me completely off guard, I swear {even though I try not… Read More
This and That {and a lil’ bit of somethin’ else}
We’ve been deliciously busy around here… Creating ginormous lego potties that, fortunately, don’t hold up to any actual “activity”. Breaking out the charcoal and grilling up some veggies {and yes, of course…some meat!} And slappin’ some laundry on the line {seeing sun-dried clothes smell all sorts of glorious!} {I noticed when hanging my hubby’s t-shirts up that 3 out of… Read More
Post Easter Check In
No, I’m not dead. Yes, I still love to blog. And thank you, my Easter was lovely. I’ve been trying to find my feet amongst the chaos of everyday life with little ones, while the madness of presentation preparation and egg stuffage threatened to swallow me whole. With colorful, plastic eggs back in their seasonal box, and my wellness talk… Read More
Cute. Fruit.
I love fresh fruit. And I love pretty things. So it would stand to reason, that I love it when my fruit is pretty. Yes, I realize, it is pretty…all by its delectable lonesome…but there’s something delightful about lining up vibrant hues of juiciness on a pointy little stick and displaying them in a vase. {oooh aaaah!} And, as evidenced… Read More
Hormones, Crafts & Snow {this week, in no particular order)
Firstly, the blah: I’ve been having hot flashes lately {ugh!}. And then I left the house in my slippers {yikes}. For 6 hours {gasp}. I think I’m getting old. I haven’t written anything of substance for the past few weeks. There only seems time and mental energy for drivel. Forgive me. Contemplative and encouraging text will return soon, I promise….

I Think My Son Ate Connecticut
This morning is a big one for me. I’m officially being sworn in as an American citizen {photos to come!}. In an effort to brush up on my geography, I broke out my daughter’s Dollar Store puzzle. Why I bought this thing for a 3 year old, I have no idea. I had to break out my atlas to finish… Read More
Captain Underpants Strikes…
Followed closely by her faithful side-kick, Little-pants. “Cha-aaa-arrrge!!” {Need I say more?}
Seriously…You Have Got to Try This!
It’s called Tagxedo…and it’ll rock your face off. It is rather addictive, however, so consider yourself warned. Simply copy the text of your choice…a letter…a favorite scripture verse…a sappy post…the declaration of independence {you know, whatever floats your goat}…and paste it into their fancy little image creator, customize the shape, colors and fonts…and voila! Fabulous stuff like this…{inspired by this… Read More
