{Wordless Wednesday}
Lambs, Calves & Kids…oh my!
Despite the chill and whippy wind, our littles had a glorious morn with friends and baby animals. And a wagon ride. And, lest we forget the food, pizza. What’s not to love? We trekked out to a little family-owned petting farm where we got to lay eyes on the most darling 4 day old lambs and 2 day old {pygmy}… Read More
Do Not Worry
“Do not worry about your life. Do not worry about what you are going to eat and drink. Do not worry about what you are going to wear. Is not life more important than food? Is not the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds in the sky. They do not plant seeds. They do not gather grain…. Read More
Cupcake Face
We recently met “new” neighbors who moved into this town at roughly the same time as we did. Turns out…we adore them and are tickled pink to have such a fabulous family living just down the road from us! The fact that the lovely mama makes killer cupcakes could further solidify our relationship. {knuckle bumps} Here’s to the cupcake… Read More
All in a Week’s Whirl
It’s been delicious madness around here lately. Between fun and food and friends and farting children and family {please notice the pause between children and family} and…fesign fork…I haven’t had a moment to sit down and tell you all about it in mind-numbing detail, as I am accustomed to doing. {Clearly there’s no way to get ‘design work’ to start… Read More
Busy, Busy, Bug, Butter & Bars
{If you’re here for a recipe…scroll down and avoid the dross. You’re welcome} As I type, my loved ones are passed out in their respective rooms, drooling, quite possibly, the dishwasher is running, the yogurt and kefir are culturing in their respective jars, the kettle is boiling {hallelujah!} and the wheat berries are soaking in preparation for sprouting. I love… Read More
Happy Valentine’s Day
This is my first Valentine’s day as a mom who cares about Valentine’s day. Did you get that? I didn’t either. What I was trying to say was this…I’ve never strung a heart…dyed anything pink…or sprinkled heart-shaped anything onto another something tinted a horrific shade of pepto-bismol…in the name of Valentine’s day…until now. Apparently I’ve crossed over. And I like… Read More
Dear Unpleasant Children
This is your mother. I wanted to clarify in case you mistook me for a crazy, grocery-cart-pushin’ gypsy– which, admittedly, is wildly tempting right now – but it’s not. It’s just me. The little shreds of me that are still clinging desperately to what sanity is left, that is. I considered myself a roaring success when the thought of listing… Read More
Bugging Out!
We’re celebrating a little lad who’s been {heart} medicine free for over a year! {smile!} And the fact that he’s so stinkin’ cute it makes my cheeks hurt.
Letting Go of Super-Mom
It occurred to me last summer, while slathering my child from head to toe with diaper rash cream, summoning every ounce of determination I could muster to rub the white paste into her sweetly resistant skin, that motherhood didn’t look much like I envisioned it would. Come to think of it, it doesn’t smell much like I had planned, either…. Read More
Mom…I’m Hungry! {Healthy, Kid-friendly Snacks}
I hear these words often. Occasionally it’s a less civilized grunt from Bug, or simply the sound of the seal on the refrigerator door breaking, compliments of miss Bean, but without a doubt, it would seem I am raising two little loin fruit who have the uncanny ability to nibble enthusiastically throughout the day. Which, admittedly, can ruin their appetites…but… Read More
A Daddy’s Lens & Some {Killer} Photography Tips
When asked what we had hoped for during those first few months of pregnancy, gender wise, of course we delivered the customary, good parent response…”a healthy baby!”. But if we had been brutally honest, I would have totally whispered…I’d love a girl! And I scored with our sweet Bean. My hubby was just thrilled with his healthy baby girl –… Read More
