Cuz I like to make lists
Cringe-worthyness…. *lukewarm showers. *speedos, on anyone, no matter what size they are. *walking into forever 21 and feeling like all the teeny-boppers are staring at me going “she is WAY to old to be in here”. *sharing one bathroom with a husband and three little kids. it means that I never get to shower in […]
A fun little sewing project
I was in the mood to get my sewing machine out this week and I have a whole list of sewing projects I wanted to try. I decided to start by making some burp cloths for the babe in some fun colors. I just love shopping for fabric. My mind starts going in all kinds […]
Style
These days I don’t get much of a chance to dress in anything other than my “stay at home” clothes, but it doesn’t stop me from dreaming! Here are some styles that I’m loving right now… Fluffy flower attached to the belt…love… Bunches of flowers on a necklace paired with a tweed jacket. Librarian-chic is […]
Monday Monday
You’ll have to pardon my lack of blog postings recently. The past week has been, shall we say, challenging. For me, anyway. Poor hubs had the flu all week, Jack was feverish for a couple of days, baby V was fussy…so this mama was just plain worn out. Completely and utterly. I really hope I […]
Barn Door Inspirations
Some of you had commented about the barn door that I had in a post last week – isn’t it the coolest?? I just love it. Obviously. The hubs saw it when he drove past a yard sale last summer, and he came home and told me about it. What a guy!! Normally, he isn’t […]
Just a Note
Because I had so much interest, I’ve added a few more of these “O How He Loves Us” canvases to my Etsy shop. Click here to order. Get ’em while they last!
Snow Day
Today I will enjoy the beautiful fresh snow. I will be patient with the children when they misbehave. I will spend quality time with the kids. I will take it easy so I’m not completely worn out when hubs comes home from work. I will not worry about having a perfectly clean & organized house. […]
Home again, home again, jiggity jig
We brought Violet home from the hospital last night and it felt GREAT to have our family back again!! She is doing really well – just has a little cough occasionally. And my life has quickly returned to the chaotic normal that it is. This morning I’m making granola in the kitchen, Violet starts to […]
Day Ten
It’s Saturday night and I’m sitting at the Ronald McDonald House by myself since Hubs went home to be with the kids, and I’m wondering where in the world the last ten days went. It all seems like a dream. Not a good dream but not a nightmare either. When I start to feel sorry […]
Grateful
Today, as I sit by Violet’s hospital bed and hear the hum of machines, the beeping of alarms, the quiet conversations between nurses, I feel so very grateful… Grateful for the wonderful medical care that we have been blessed with. I often wonder what would have happened to Violet 100 years ago when they didn’t […]
Update on Baby Violet
The past few days have been such a whirlwind – hopefully what I write makes sense! I feel like my brain is on autopilot, and I’m just going through the motions of life. Doing what I need to do to get through these days. Violet was not improving at the hospital and the doctors were […]
"Parenting is not for the faint of heart"
This is what our doctor told me just after he said that we would most likely be spending Christmas in the hospital. And, unfortunately, that’s what happened. Early last week baby Violet had a stuffy nose that progressed to a cough, then on Thursday evening she had a very high fever. Our doctor met me […]
