Woodgrain Coffee Table

by

Today, I awoke refreshed and excited for the start of a new week! It didn't hurt that the girls let me get a good 9 hours of sleep, and I was able to jolt myself back to life with a strong cup of black coffee. And I'm excited to show you one of several little projects we have going right now! We've been clearing out the garage, one thing at a time. And so this involves fixing up some smaller ...

Half-Birthday Girls!

by

Here in Iowa, we've been having record high temperatures. Normally we would have 18 inches of snow on the ground right about now... but it's been in the 50's and 60's this week. Yesterday we even went for a walk on the nature trail!! It feels so much like spring outside... it's got me anxious to start planting my veggie garden! I'll be living in denial that the whole winter will be this way... ... [ Read More ]

Sloppy!

by

Well, I was going to post earlier this morning, but I didn't realize it would take 5 hours to upload my video to YouTube. NICE. With new beginnings in mind, we decided it was high time to let the girls try out some baby food! Our Dr gave us permission to start at 4 months, but with the girls being 5 weeks premature, I didn't feel comfortable pulling the trigger until they were closer to 6 months. ... [ Read More ]

To my Beloved

by

My Beloved Nicholas, Today, on our 3rd wedding anniversary, I need you to know that I love you so deeply that it's difficult to describe and properly give it justice. You have been a profound blessing in my life on so many levels. It's a mystery to me the way you so naturally and effortlessly cultivate the things I need most in my life, making me a better person. You are a gift... far more ... [ Read More ]

Looking Back @ 2011

by

Well whatdoya know, it's a brand new year! I made it to 9:30 on New Year's Eve... not because I'm sleep deprived though. I'm just an early-to-bed kinda girl. Ain't nothing I'd rather do on New Year's Eve than rent a movie to watch with my betrothed lover... and hit the hay early. I've never been one for making resolutions of any kind, I just like to think of each new year as a new beginning. And ... [ Read More ]

Spoiled Little Scoundrels

by

I know we overshot on our Friday photoshoot by a day this week. But here's the thing... it was very cloudy yesterday. And our girl Dell was not a happy camper, so we stalled till today. We're flexible like that... Wowzers! What a crazy awesome week full of family, food, and festivities! Did everyone have a swell Christmas? We certainly did. We made tons of memories to coincide with the girls' ... [ Read More ]

Christmas Belle’s

by

Things are pretty low-key on the homestead as we finish up all our little projects and prepare for the big holiday weekend. My sister, Anna, is here to visit for a couple days and we've been dressing up the girls in their Christmas outfits!! Anna got to experience firsthand the ins and outs of our weekly photoshoots. She was laughing at me making high pitch sounds and squealing at the babes trying ... [ Read More ]

Behind the Scenes

by

One of my favorite traditions we started with the girls is taking their Weekly Pictures. They were born on a Friday, and so every Friday we take a new picture... documenting how their features and personalities develop and change over the weeks, and demonstrating how FAST our little ones grow (am I right?) in these early months of their lives! I absolutely love looking back through the weeks and ... [ Read More ]

Well my girl Leah just emailed me this photo, and I about fell off the couch laughing.Oh Ryan Gosling, I'm glad you appreciate my thrifty creativity. Now on to more important issues... why are you wearing a shirt? ... [ Read More ]
