It’s been awhile since I’ve shared some behind-the-scenes action of the chaos in our lives. It’s beautiful, often high-pitched chaos. And we love every second. If you’re wondering if that’s one of our giant pumpkins covered in snow in the background, you’re absolutely correct. I affirm your curiosity. The twins are old enough now that they understand that money has value, and they want ... [ Read More ]
Mid-Century Modern Bookshelf
Mornin’ friends! Nick and I just got back from snowboarding in Colorado, and are trying to get back into the routine of life. But truthfully?

This was a first vacation since the girls were ... [ Read More ]
Our Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s day always seemed like such a silly ‘forced’ day of love to me.

Despite the subzero temps and near blizzard conditions, we drove 3 hours round-trip in order to frolic about in the ... [ Read More ]
Playing in the Snow…
Today was a completely unproductive day... especially considering we're making Christmas presents this year, and we're nowhere near finished. Not to mention the massive pile of laundry on the couch.BUT...We got to go snowboarding!!! So, it wasn't a completely fruitless day! It all started out with a little off-roading on our land, blasting through snowdrifts with the Jeep. This guilty ... [ Read More ]
Let it SNOW!
So, my adorable and loving husband somehow obtained a Sports Authority gift card at his job, and he chose to give it to his sweet little pumpkin pie. I gritted my teeth, let go of my pride ...and ACCEPTED this generous gift with a little squeal of delight!! I don't even like shopping (it gives me anxiety), but Sports Authority? There are things in that store to be acquired! And so, we went ... [ Read More ]
