I have a confession… I can’t handle clutter. It makes me crazy. Like I literally feel like I’m losing it. I’m constantly tidying up as I go about my day. I don’t leave a room without grabbing something that’s out of place to take it to it’s rightful home. I didn’t realize how out-of-control it was until I started slowing down in my 3rd trimester. I just can’t keep up. We’ve all seen this ... [ Read More ]
Tis the season to be BUSY
When asking just about anyone, I think the most common response to the question ‘how are you’ is… BUSY. Any time of the year. Right? Nick and I keep our commitments to a minimum simply because we like to live a simple life. Why else would we buy an acreage an hour from the nearest Target? #canigetanamen I do however like to ‘keep busy’, rather than watching TV or sitting around, but I think ... [ Read More ]
Baby Quilts, Inspiration, and Baby Bump {23 weeks}
It’s hard to believe I’m 23 week pregnant already! It seems like it’s gone fast… yet at the same time, March 1 seems sooooo far away. As you can see from the photo above, my butt is growing pretty much in proportion to my belly. This is a mystery to me, because I’ve never had much ‘bass’ if you know what I mean. I’m sure this phenomenon is directly related to my constant hunger pangs and ... [ Read More ]
Boy? Girl?
We had another ultrasound. This time we brought the girls. The clinic spoiled us this time by using equipment that was manufactured this century. The ultrasound went on and on while the tech measured tiny perfect body parts and showed us bitty little feet, etc. And finally I said… ‘you already know the gender DON’T YOU!’ And she said yes. Then she was silent again for what felt like ... [ Read More ]
17 Weeks
As many of you know, there’s a small child growing in my belly. Since we found out the girls’ genders at 14 weeks, I was confident that we would see his/her ‘parts’ (or lack thereof) at my appointment yesterday… seeing as I’m at 17 weeks now. HOWEVER, I never considered the fact that our small-town hospital would have less-than-stellar technology compared to what we experienced last time with ... [ Read More ]
Pregnancy / Life Update
Mornin’ friends! And Happy Friday to you! I’m just stopping in to share a little life update… Are ya ready? I’M SICK. I’m not complaining by any means, but I felt that my loyal readers deserved to know why I’ve been MIA here on the blog. I’m not going to go into any details, but let’s just say I feel icky and nothing is getting done around the house. I actually don’t mind the reminder of the ... [ Read More ]
The twins are 3!!!
Yesterday, we celebrated the girls’ 3rd Birthday. It’s crazy to even type that! THREE YEARS? We planted willow trees when they were born, and each year we take pics of them with their tree on their birthday! They know which tree is theirs, and are sure to point it out every time we’re out for a walk on that part of the acreage. They were looking into the sun in these pics… and Della literally had ...
