It’s Monday! Time for a fresh new week. YES. I’m linking up with the fabulous Lisa Leonard for some pictures and “Hello Mondays” today. Hello playing outside in the BEAUTIFUL Spring weather and getting filthy. This little girl knows how to walk but prefers to crawl when she’s outside.  Hello playing tennis out on the driveway […]

Today I thought I’d share some of my latest signs. If you need ideas for signs, I also have a link on my sidebar where you can see many more that I’ve done. > > > Here’s a family sign I created with an old door and rustic hinges:  A sign using a door with […]

Random little things that are making me smile today… Avery loves exercising with me in the evenings. She gets so into it and totally cracks me up. I, on the other hand, don’t love it quite as much. (In case you are interested, right now I’m into doing Pilates following YouTube videos.) Getting this little […]

 Happy Monday friends! The sun is shining and it’s time to take a deep breath and jump into the fresh new week! I’ve been wanting to make a sign just for me for a while now and just haven’t had the time to put into it. And I had a hard time deciding what scripture or […]

I had a full day planned today, but instead I’m home taking care of a sick little girl. So I thought I’d take the time to snap some pictures of our office/playroom and give you a little tour of this much-used space. The space used to be a porch that was enclosed and turned into […]

I recently created this “Love” sign for my photographer friend Shar Halverson in exchange for some amazing family pictures she took of us last fall. I used an old salvaged door that hubs found in a barn (he’s quite good at finding unique things for me to play around with!). The door had some gorgeous Victorian-style […]

So, I haven’t been around here much lately. I’ve been feeling, well, just kinda BLANK with not a lot to say. What have I been up to? I’ve been doing a lot of painting (as always). And I’m attempting to get Jack potty-trained. HA. On the first day I caught him standing on top of the […]

Just some random “realness” from this Monday. {Hanging in my little corner of the office right now…photos, inspirations, quotes} {My baby & me…from Avery’s perspective} {Some post-nap thumb-sucking and blanky holding going on…doesn’t get much better} {Avery: I drew a pig inside a fence. Yes, dear, that does look exactly like a pig. A pig […]

I think one of the benefits of getting older is that I want my space at home to be more functional and more efficient than ever. I don’t want to waste time and space on things that I don’t love or need. I’ve talked about it before, but I really don’t enjoy baking. Don’t get me […]
