The Dream is Free, The Hustle Sold Separately

The many faces of Adelyn (Dell)

It’s SO crazy how fast Christmas comes and goes. The hustle and bustle of family festivities is over for us, and we’re kicking back at home… organizing toys (out with the old, in with the new), doing laundry, cleaning out the car, napping… you know, things of that nature. I wasn’t planning on posting this week, but that just feels unnatural, and… icky. So here I am, typing away. So, my girl ... [ Read More ]

The Christmas Tree… It’s DECORATED!

by

It occurred to me that I probably ought to write a follow up post, describing the outcome of our Christmas tree ‘allergy’ dilemma. I wasn’t sure what we were going to do… and many of you made some very nice suggestions. It was touch-and-go there for awhile. It sat empty for several days while I pouted, sneezed, and itched. I was pretty miserable, both literally and figuratively. But I had the ... [ Read More ]

Tutorial: Mudding Drywall {Part 1}

by

Today we’re doing things a little different for our ‘Mudding Drywall Tutorial’. We decided that some things are just better explained as a demonstration on video! So we swallowed our pride and put our silly-selves on film (ok so it’s mostly silly-Nick)! This will be the first in a 3-video series over the next couple of weeks, giving you the info (and hopefully CONFIDENCE) you need to tackle a ... [ Read More ]

Hemangioma

by

The girls have been alive for a good 17 months, and after a couple reader questions, I realized that I should probably address Paisley’s Hemangioma. It’s a birthmark.

But when we got home and it continued to grow, I was a little alarmed. It’s very 3-dimensional. Like ... [ Read More ]

Mixed Emotions Monday

by

Do you want the good news or the bad news first? How about the bad news, since I can’t bear to leave the post on a sad note. So here’s the story… we got two new ‘additions’ to our dining room over the weekend. Both of which I was suuuuper excited about. Of course you know a couple weeks ago, we went out to Powesheik Pines and picked out our Christmas tree (but just tagged it to be cut down ... [ Read More ]

17 Months

by

A common question I get as a twin mama is “do they have their own clothes?” or “how do you decide who wears what?” The answer to the first question is: No, they share all their clothing. The answer to the second question gets a little tricky. Mainly because, sometimes one is going through a chubby stage and might be a little tight in a specific outfit… so I’ll put it on the other girl. Or, since ... [ Read More ]

Good morning! Don’t you look radiant this morning! Wouldn’t it be delightful if someone said that to you every morning? Bed-head and all? Instead of, ‘babe, I think you’ve been wearing that shirt all week’.
