The Dream is Free, The Hustle Sold Separately

It’s about time!

by

I have great news... you no longer need to lose sleep over your overwhelming curiosity for what color our bedroom walls would end up. I've temporarily overcome my bout with indecisiveness and finally just chose a color. I'm definitely not feeling inspired with this bedroom transformation the same way I was in the nursery. It could be because that was a labor of love for my long-awaited darlings, ... [ Read More ]

HAPPY FRIDAY!

by

Today I realized that the placement of the orange chair is perfect with regards to the Christmas tree! We didn't give too much thought to where we should put our tree, but what a happy little accident! I love that the tree shows some in the corner of the pics! I officially declare today National Pajama Day! I and the girls are all still wearing our sleepwear, and lovin' it. OKAY, it's true... I ... [ Read More ]

I promise they'll be a hit at your house.Creamy Italian Chicken (from Ry & Heather)2 lbs chicken1 pkg dry ... [ Read More ]

Calling all Thumb-SUCKAS!

by

Paisley has taken a liking to her thumb lately. I freaked out for a couple days and tried 'redirecting' her by removing said thumb and inserting her pacifier. This would usually work for a couple seconds, before she'd spit it out and return to chowing on her thumb again. After doing tons of research (and getting lots of advice from FB friends) I decided it wasn't the end of the world if she sucks ... [ Read More ]

Mom’s LR

by

This is old news, but I didn't want to forget to show you what my mom and I did in her living room! You all remember last spring when Nick and my little bro, Tim, tore apart the slat and lathe walls and put in new drywall. Well my mom painted the whole room beige (not MY first choice, but it's not my house) and I convinced her to do a little something special on one wall as a bit of an accent ... [ Read More ]

My Lovlies

by

My babes are starting to really seem like little people! They let me know exactly how they're feeling, and they have opinions... strong opinions. "I'm hungry, and I'm hungry NOW!" I know what you're thinking... wait till they're toddlers. But being a nanny for 8 years, I'm familiar with the sweet potatoes flying through the air, poop smears on the wall, and public tantrums. We're taking ... [ Read More ]

Card Wreath Reboot

by

If you've been around the blog for awhile, you remember our Christmas Card Wreath that we crafted last year about this time. (it was one of those posts where I reeeeeally wanted to scream I'M PREGNANT but couldn't because I was only 2 weeks pregnant). To those of you that are scanning this post and not really reading it: NO I'm not pregnant right now. Anywho, over the last year, our "Christmas ... [ Read More ]

Many Uses For MASON JARS!!

by

I'm a long-time lover of mason jars, and the vintage/industrial feel that they provide. Who doesn't love drinking rum and coke lemonade out of a mason jar on a hot summer day? These inexpensive and easily accessible glass jars have SO many uses, and I've been oogling all the amazing ideas there are out in blogland and Pinterest. Using mason jars for lighting, centerpieces or storage is a fun and ... [ Read More ]

Carpet and Christmas Tree

by

For you, the weekend may be over... but not for meeee! Nick took a vacation day today, and we all slept in... even the girls! It's been a busy weekend, and I'm so excited to show you what we did! At the beginning of the weekend, our living room looked like this:After saving our pennies, Nick and I have invested in carpet for the living room! It's our Christmas present to each other! I do love our ... [ Read More ]

Peej and Dell

by

Sorry for my blatant lack of posting this week. The girls got spoiled last weekend with family members loving them and holding them constantly, and they decided that mommy should have 4 arms and unlimited time to hold them and play with them now. Not gonna happen. So it's been a trying week, as I try to break habits before they become permanent. Don't they look so naughty in this pic? Lots of ... [ Read More ]
