Violet’s birthday is tomorrow but we celebrated with a little party last night at my parents’ house. It’s always amazing when your baby turns one – time just seems to fly on by. Violet is a serious little girl. Just like Jack used to be. He is now the funniest little guy you’ll meet, so […]

I’ve bee itching to do something creative in the house lately, so I decided to change around our entry a bit. We don’t have a formal entryway – it’s just a little corner of our family room. But it’s where everyone enters the house, so it gets a lot of use. Here’s what it looked […]

Is it really Monday already? The days are just flying by lately. It might have something to do with these guys keeping me on my toes. All the time. They also give me crazy eyes. CAAARAAAAZZYYY. (Anyone watch Parks & Rec? Remember this reference?) The weekend was spent painting, staining, painting, and some more painting. If you’ve […]

It’s been a couple of years since we had professional photos taken of our family. And after three rain-outs in the past few months, we finally made it happen. Shar Halverson took our pictures. And, holy bananas, she is awesome. We just did a half-hour mini-session and she still got loads of great pics. My Avery. […]

I’ve been busy shipping my signs all over the place and, since I’m so busy, I’ve decided to hire some employees for my shipping department. And I thought I would introduce you today. They are small but don’t let their size fool you, they are probably louder and have more energy than most people four times […]

I’ve been neglecting my “What I Wore” posts lately, mostly because I’ve been either covered in paint or children. But I did take pics this week of one outfit I wore. And, what do you know, the entire outfit is from Goodwill! Holla!! (Dress & belt are Target, shoes are REI) I’m linking up to […]

That’s what the Amish man who supplies me with wood and barn doors wrote down on my invoice last week. “Aimee the sign lady” Nice. That’s what I’ve been reduced to these days. Ha, ha. Although it feels like it lately. I’ve been working on lots of barn door signs. Can I just say, it […]

The folks at Easy Canvas Prints asked me to do a review of their product in exchange for a canvas for myself. So I jumped at the chance to order a canvas of little Violet to hang in her nursery. It’s an 8″x10″ canvas, which is a bit small to hang by itself, so I added […]

It’s been one of those weeks where I’m trying to keep my head on straight and it feels like my head is spinning by the time I crash into bed at night. But despite the busy-ness, it’s been good! Every single time my kids get into the car with me, they shout “Christmas music!!”. Every. Single. Time. […]
