“The beauty of a girl cannot be mimicked, fabricated or created by human means, it only occurs naturally.” ~Pam Callaghan During on of my recent nighttime feedings with Jack, I suddenly realized that my little girl is almost 3 years old. I’ve been so preoccupied with other things lately that I didn’t realize how “old” […]

I’m struggling to find the right balance between *taking care of kiddos *my job (I work from home) *spending time with the hubs *taking care of the house *doing volunteer activities *hanging out with friends *and doing things just for fun Some days I’m successful and some days I really stink at it! And today […]

I spent the weekend coordinating a wedding for this beautiful bride! She has a huge extended family who are very close, and they were so much fun to work with! And now they are on their honeymoon on a tropical beach somewhere and I must say, I’m a little bit jealous!

I don’t know if it’s because of the warm weather we’ve been having for the past several days, but last night as I was curled up on the couch reading my Coastal Living magazine, I was particularly inspired by the fresh, white photos of houses along the coast… Makes me want to head to the […]

I was flipping through the latest Pottery Barn catalog and came across this little description that got me thinking… “…choosing high-quality furniture, fabrics and accessories is the only path to a home you truly love.” Hello??!!

Avery is so very proud of her “baby brudder JACK”! It has been hugs and kisses all day long! She just lights up when she sees him and doesn’t ever get tired of holding him! I’m looking forward to them playing together as they grow older, and hopefully they will always be so nice to […]

We celebrated Valentine’s Day a little late this year, but it was worth it! We ate dinner at Cameron Estates Inn ~ child-free! ~ and it was wonderful! Cameron Estates is a beautiful old mansion, and they serve amazing food! And, of course, the company wasn’t bad either!

I’ve been doing a bit of fluffing around the house, although I haven’t been able to get as much done as I would like. These days it seems like my “to-do” list is growing bigger, while my time to do things is getting smaller and smaller! Here’s my little bathroom… It’s an extremely modest bathroom […]

After a rough night with my little baby Jack, I am so tired this morning! But I’m tired of talking about how tired I am, so I’ll just leave it at that! You moms know what I’m talking about. I’ve had the most fabulous blog posts formulated in my head during my night-time feedings this […]

In some ways, time is just crawling by and other times I can’t believe that my little guy is almost a month old! Wow!! He’s been a pretty content little baby and he sure likes to eat, which keeps me awake at night more than I would like. But hopefully soon he’ll sleep for longer […]

When we are driving at night, I love it when people have their curtains open in their homes with the lights on inside. That means I might be able to sneak a peak inside their house and see what it looks like! Is that wrong? I just love seeing how other people live! Since I […]
