The Dream is Free, The Hustle Sold Separately

It’s February!

by

Oooook, well I wasn't AS productive as I planned on this week... but I accomplished a fair amount. I didn't completely fast from the computer (as you well know if you follow me on Pinterest) but I consciously cut back and tried not to 'linger' ...if you know what I mean. Did anyone else feel like this week lasted forever? And yet it feels like January flew right by! One of the things on my list ... [ Read More ]

under-ambitious

by

There was a day when the girls did a lot of... sleeping. This is not the case anymore. Our days are filled with story books, tummy time, spoon-fed meals, and trying to strategically find time to exercise. But the truth is, I'm not really that busy. I just make myself feel that way. If my computer magically disappeared, I would likely have a lot more time on my hands. A little facebook here and ... [ Read More ]

Little Rascals

by

The girls have been... well, NEEDY this week. Fussy little crabsters. I want to be extra loving and snugly if they're teething or not feeling well. But I don't know if it's that, or they're just plain crabby. So I try to maintain a happy medium between catering to their every cry and letting them cry it out from time to time. Nick took a vacation day today, for the heck of it. And about an hour ... [ Read More ]

Blogging

by

I got to thinking about how crazy it is how far this little blog has come in 2.5 years. I started this blog to document my journey as a newlywed, and a new homeowner... excited to share my love for interior design, family, and country living. I had no idea that so many strangers would find this life so interesting. I remember being tickled pink the first time someone I didn't know left a comment. ... [ Read More ]

Rockin’ End Table

by

We've had this end table in our garage for at least a year. It's very charming and has obvious potential, but lightening wasn't hitting me on what to do with it. It's a really interesting design with a tray-type thing that comes off the top, allowing for a shadowbox effect. (the glass had been removed in the 'before pic'. Finally Nick got tired of looking at it, and had some lightening of ... [ Read More ]

TGIF Anyone?

by

Whataweek yo? I haven't left the house since Saturday (that's right, 6 days), but it's been kinda nice to just chillax with the girlfriends and get back into the jive of life after my near breakdown last Friday at the Dr's office. We've all recovered from the trauma, although Dell's been feeling a little icky this week.Babes are becoming a little more accustomed to eating their baby cereal now ... [ Read More ]

The Angels are Singing

by

Remember my desperate struggle to feed two newborns? That highly anticipated and glorious day has arrived. Imagine a huge choir of angels singing HALLELUJAH: There are no words. ... [ Read More ]

Giveaway WINNER… and bonus video

by

Holy busy busy weekend! Is it weird that I'm glad it's Monday? Somehow we managed to paint a backsplash, deliver the woodgrain coffee table (that sold in just a couple hours after posting it last week!), finish an end table (that I'll post later this week), get a month's worth of groceries, and start on a vanity. Feels great just to relax at home and be back in our chill routine.But let's get to ... [ Read More ]

Momma Trauma

by

I recognize that I'm blogging in the evening and that it's not characteristic of me... but the girls had their 6 month appointment late this afternoon, and I wanted to wait so I could post their stats! I should begin by saying, it was one of the most traumatic experiences I've had in my recent memory. So traumatic that I think I might remember it for years to come. See these glowing little ...

My Memories Scrapbook Suite GIVEAWAY!

by

Oh my gosh you guys, something exciting is happening! The makers of My Memories has contacted me about hosting a giveaway for their amazing digital scrapbooking software! Their timing couldn't be more perfect, because I've been feeling pretty guilty for letting pictures of the girls pile up, when I could be putting them in albums. But albums are so... uncreative. But scrapbooking is so... ... [ Read More ]
