The Dream is Free, The Hustle Sold Separately

Aruba

by

On this day, two years ago... my toes were buried in warm, white sand. I could feel the warm salty breeze and see it blowing the soft taffeta curtains, as I drank my 18th daiquiri of the day. Aruba was the perfect choice for a January honeymoon, chosen and planned by my beloved.He did the right thing and bought the all-inclusive package. We felt like celebrities for 6 straight days.It was warm.It ... [ Read More ]

Pregnancy Update: 9 weeks

by

Many of you have been requesting a pregnancy update. (If you missed our 'announcement video,' see it HERE). With that being said... for some, I know it's the last thing you want to hear. We've accumulated quite the following of fellow infertile women, who email their stories and share their sorrow. It's been incredibly encouraging and uplifting through this journey to know that we're not alone. ... [ Read More ]

Jan 3, 2009

Two years ago today, I was betrothed permanently to the man of my dreams. Twas the best day of my life, to date. I still oft' think about what a lucky girl I am.This poem's for you baby:I lie in bed and wonderWith your elbow in my faceHow you managed to seduce meWith that text, so out of place.Since then you've crawled into my heartAnd let out lots of gasBut also taken care of meNever tiring of my ...

Life Update

by

Now that we're not frantically trying to save money to make a baby, we're down to one job each. I at the clinic, and Nick just got a promotion at his job at Fisher! It feels so great to work normal hours again! I've been having a bit of writers block lately, hence the sporadic unpredictable blogging lately. In fact, I just sat here for 10 minutes trying to think of the word 'unpredictable.' We ... [ Read More ]

Drexel: Part 1

by

A client has commissioned us to revive their beautiful, solid wood Drexel china cabinet that they purchased several years ago at an estate auction. What a great find! I've never seen anything like it! Though they love the china cabinet, the yellow just wasn't doing it for them, and was an eyesore in their dining room. They considered having it refinished and sanded down to the wood, stained and ... [ Read More ]

excited is all…

by

We are through the roof excited about our growing baby humans, and really just can't talk about anything else at this point. We hope you understand. Babies babies BABIES! I didn't know if I would ever be able to feel this... and I'm SO glad it's my turn.But not so excited that I don't remember my kindred infertile friends. I want to be sensitive, and I know that it's pretty much the worst thing ... [ Read More ]

Kendall’s Pretties

by

As a rule, I try not to blog about things that I craft as Christmas presents... at least until AFTER Christmas.  That way the person doesn't already know what they're getting! But these are for my baby niece Kendall, and I'm confident she doesn't keep up with the blog.Last week, my mom and I had a crafternoon at her place... let's just say it was super fun. She has an abundance of fabric and ... [ Read More ]

Andrea’s Backsplash

by

For awhile there, we were on a roll with beige and brown. This is all well and good if you're one to change wall colors and accent colors often. And/or, if you just prefer neutral colors. But we have to admit that we love when someone is brave and funky... and Andrea is just that!! She and her family recently bought a beautiful OLD house with tons of character, and you can tell they're having a ... [ Read More ]
