My hubby and I just returned late Sunday night from an incredible week away in celebration of our 10th anniversary…and while I won’t bore you with jealousy-evoking details of swimming with turtles, gloriously unnecessary naps, and the fact that I only gained 5 pounds after devouring enough food to feed a small country – chased […]
10 Things We’ve Learned in 10 Years of Marriage
Tomorrow we will have officially been married for 87,360 hours. Also known as the less-enormous-sounding ‘10 years’ {insert wild applause here}. A whole decade, people. I know, right? Ten full years for wee punks like us. Who knew? No, we weren’t 14. We were 22 The past ten years have been the most beautiful, most […]
Crop that Photo
Some people say editing photos is unnecessary. I say, “Hallelujah!”. Bring.it.on! Because the ability to crop photos is a gift from God. Right up there with sunsets. And caffeine. Allow me to explain: You can have this on your wall… Or this: Enough said. Note to self: buy Bean bigger, more wedgie-proof jeans.
‘Drab to Fab’ Office Chair Makeover
I recently discovered the wonders of our local Habitat for Humanity Restore, and it makes my heart beat wildly. Used doors and vases and chairs, oh my! And for killer prices, none the less I picked up some ugly, old office chairs for $5 a piece a couple of months ago with the intention of […]
Sweet Girl {plus Printable}
Looking through photos from little Bean’s recital in June, I realized how much like a weed she has grown. She’s looking less and less like a wee lass and more and more like a little lady every day. She’s blossoming and maturing, her cheeks and belly are losing their plumpness, and her little hands are […]
Mantacular Homemade Granola Bars {approved by Manly Men}
My hubby has been away for the past five days riding his 4-wheeler in the mountains of Kentucky. I have no doubt that there’s been an ungodly amount of farting, burping, grunting and other blatant displays of manhood going on down in those parts. It’s a little scary what can happen when 8 grown men […]
When You Feel Like A Train Wreck {Hope For The Weary Mom}
To the mom who is weary and overwhelmed, painfully aware of her short fuse and tired of the sound of her own voice… I get it. I’ve become really good at saying, “I’m sorry” since becoming a mom. Learn to embrace grace. This is one of the most important things you can model for your […]
Our Bedroom Makeover
Well, we finally did it, people. We built a bedframe. And a headboard. And slapped a mattress on it. Voila! Houston, we have a real, genu-wine bed! After upgrading from a queen mattress to a king – oh, you know…a year ago – we decided we wanted to build our frame. Or rather, I decided […]
The ‘Muy Bien’ Fund : Fundraising Printable {and how YOU can help}
So this week’s printable is a bit of an odd ball. It involves a leg, money and language barriers. Let me explain. When we first moved to the US, I was a freshman in high school and had absolutely no grasp of the “Spanish” language. After all, isn’t that what they speak in Spain? And […]
First Day Photos 2013
No words. Just cuteness.
