About 2 weeks ago (OK, maybe 3…) I started “Spring Cleaning” around the house. I started in Kyndall’s room and moved through there pretty quickly. I boxed up clothes for donation, separated what I wanted to keep for Libby, and laid out a few nicer things for consignment. Then I moved on to Libby’s room. And that’s where I got stuck. The spring-cleaning-mood left me. I had all the passed-down.. Read More
If you follow me on the social medias, you know that we (and by we, I mean Justin) have been redoing the space above our mantel. When we moved into the house, the previous owners had their TV sitting on the mantel. Not wanting to put to much thought into it, we just copied them 🙂 Up until last weekend, our mantel looked like this: Excuse the girls in this.. Read More
Build-A-Bear… just for fun. New bedspread. Not sure what happened with the lighting before photos, but I promise the ‘after’ is actually brighter in real life! 🙂 Our favorite thing to do in the spring– pick buttercups! So glad for these boys who love us! K brought home Arthur this week. The assignment is to do fun things with him and then write about them in the notebook. So the.. Read More
I love my job, I do. I mean, I REALLY love my job. But on mornings like this, when we don’t set an alarm and the girls snuggle with me in the recliner. When we get ready if we want to and when we want to. When I have my coffee sitting at home instead of rushing out the door. Mornings where the recliner is full, and my heart is.. Read More
Max’s birthday is actually in December, but I’m afraid with all the Christmas chaos, we’ll miss it. In just a few short months, he has gone from this precious little puppy: to this. That smug look in the above photo? That’s after he swiped Justin’s ENTIRE bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich off the counter. You snooze, you lose daddy-o. This dog steals our food, sheds EVERYWHERE, and is sometimes worse.. Read More
Max has been SO full of energy lately. Our walks/runs aren’t helping at all. So the other day, while we were outside trying to work out some of that doggy energy, Justin got an idea. And it went a little like this: And this. PETA, I know this is not normal behavior. I also know it’s not considered pet abuse, so please don’t diss me. Or do, I really don’t.. Read More
I just realized I hadn’t introduced our new family member to blogland yet. And he has been a part of our family for a whole week already. So, here is Max: He is the puppy of a mutt, that we chose to call Spot, who came up to our house when we still lived at the farm. Spot is some type of bulldog mix. The girls have completely mistreated Max… Read More
Can I just say that I love this time of year? Like, REALLY love it? Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas…. I mean, what’s not to love? It’s the very best. We have been so busy decorating our house and getting things situated that I haven’t done much to make the house look Halloween-ish, or Fall-ish, or anything like that. So the other day, I set aside a few minutes to do.. Read More
No, we didn’t actually make a trip to the beach this weekend, but with all the miles we put in with trips from the old house to the new, we probably racked up the same number of road miles. “To the beach and back” is Libby’s new way of saying she loves you a lot. She’ll look up and smile big and say “I love you to the beach and.. Read More
We have been packing like crazy the last few days, getting everything ready to move over into our new house. I have had some really super helpers…. It’s a little sad how happy it makes me to see all those boxes in my floor…. organized and neat. Everything has been cleaned out and is neatly labeled. Wonder how long it will stay that way? We get to go into our.. Read More
