I opened my laptop last night, after getting my kidlets settled into their respective beds, to write. Just write. Not edit. Not criticize. Not overanalyze every.single.word I type. Not sigh and slam close my laptop feeling discouraged and defeated. Just write. And drink lots of tea. This always helps. I tend to be an overanalyzing […]
Life is Beautiful {Printable}
Oh, you guys! I’m just so stinkin’ excited about life right now. You know when that stuff that makes your heart leap and your lips curve up and your eyes sparkle – that dreamy stuff that has bubbled just beneath the surface – which, I think is God’s way of preparing our hearts – starts […]
Be Still My Heart
Here’s a sneak peek from last week’s Daddy Daughter Dance. Be still my heart. {Happy Valentine’s Day}
Proverbs 31:25 {Printable}
I realize this post is painfully void of glitter and hearts, but I’m moving on, folks. Sure, there’ll be beet-hued, heart-shaped pancakes in the morning, buried under a mound of ripe strawberries – because I’m not getting out of a valentine’s day brouhaha that easily – but I’m forging into full Spring mode, with or […]
“Mother”: A Sweetly Delusional Song about Motherhood
Yo! Life ain’t ho-hum When you spend your days as “mum” Just wipe that tiny bum While Sally sucks her thumb Hollah! Okay, so maybe dropping the beat isn’t exactly in my talent department. Or remotely in the same zip code. I am an excellent bum wiper, though. They like the way I work […]
February Desktop Wallpaper
One of my absolute favorite things about my husband is that he not only tolerates my quirky, tea-chugging, creatively-scattered, easily-delighted self…but he celebrates all that makes me different. He makes me tea every day, without being asked…because he knows it makes me smile. Okay, function. He fills my pellet stove at 1 in the morning, […]
All You Need Is Love {Free Printable}
That squishy hallmark holiday is just around the corner and while I’m not quite ready to break out the pink heart garland, or adorn my life with red glitter {just yet}, I do confess I have a hankering for something other than Winter/Christmas/White or anything that even remotely represents “cold”. And while Valentine’s day – […]
Michigan Nail & String Art {and the Dresser Reveal}
Well, she’s up, sweet people. The mitten nail and string art I documented on instagram over the weekend is finally complete and is presently adorning my studio wall. And may I just say…as nervous as I was to take this hammer-intensive project on…I nailed it. See what I did there? Humor me and offer up […]
Come, Let Us Have Some Tea {Printable}
While snowmageddon appears to have passed, we’re still freezing our little heinies off up here in the Midwest. Our remedy in the McMuffin household is to throw some more logs onto the fire, huddle a little closer, and pour ourselves another cup of tea. It’s called survival. It also happens to be called liquid awesome. […]
{Delicious} Raw Fudge Brownies
We may not have seen each other since we were 15, and we may literally live 8290 miles apart, but a mutual love of healthy treats has quickly reconnected an old childhood friend and I. Cacao is just that powerful, friends. She introduced me to this fantastic blog, My Rawsome Vegan Life, and while I […]
