It’s been a pretty low-key week so far ‘round these parts. After our whirlwind weekend of traveling, it’s a welcome change. The babes and I haven’t left the house since Sunday, and don’t have any immediate plans to. Usually by Thursday, I’m getting cabin fever and feeling pretty isolated way out here in the country, but not this Thursday. I’ve declared it pajama day. Paisley’s wearing Christmas ... [ Read More ]

The Sleeping Sitch (& bonus video!)
I mentioned awhile back about how we were struggling with the girls’ sleeping situation. There was a lot of fooling around that occurred after ‘lights-out’, with them still sharing a crib and all that jazz. And if it were just fooling around, that would be fine… but there was scratching, and paci-stealing, and using each other as footstools to try and hurl themselves over the edge (unsuccessfully ...

Paisley and Adelyn’s First Birthday Party
I probably should discuss the fact that we had a wonderfully successful and super cute Birthday Party for my little chickies. We almost didn’t have one, because it’s not like they’ll remember it or anything. But my friend Nicole pleaded with me that it will be so fun and adorable. And she’s very persuasive! I LOVE to entertain, but party planning? It makes me break out in hives. I get really ... [ Read More ]
Molly Long At Her FINEST!
Molly Long Photography is UNBELIEVABLE! Molly (who also took their newborn pictures) came out to our homestead and took the girls’ one-year pics last night. How lucky are WE?!?! She is so patient, and has such a knack for getting the girls to look where they’re supposed to and be their absolute cutest! Delly’s been trying out some new ‘special’ facial expressions lately, and that’s why her nose ... [ Read More ]
Annnnd they’re ONE!
Yesterday was Paisley and Adelyn’s 1st Birthday. They’ve been physically present in my life for 365 days, but present in my heart for thousands of days. Occasionally I still look at them and wonder if I’m trapped in a wonderful dream paradise. And if so, I never want to wake up. This special day brought back the rush of emotions I felt one year ago, laying my eyes on them for the first time. I ... [ Read More ]
First Annual Willow Photos
I’ve been working on a compiling photobooks for the girls’ first year of life. I plan to do one every year for them instead of photo albums. Here are the front covers: Not long ago, we planted two willow trees. One for each of our baby daughters. We plan on taking pictures of each girl with their tree every year around their birthday. I wanted to get their books printed IN TIME for their ... [ Read More ]
This’ll make it better!
Well, I totally was going to post about Marcy's dining table today... you know, the one that coordinates with this china cabinet? So we did our little last-minute touch-ups last night, but I wasn't thinking about how we wouldn't be able to take pictures until TONIGHT. And I can't have a post without any photos of the finished piece, now can I! So now I feel all sheepish about having promised the ... [ Read More ]
First Trip to the POOL!
This past weekend was that last free weekend we’ll have for a long time. You’d think it would be relaxing… but if you’re a regular here at all, you know weekend and relaxing don’t live in the same world. But I wouldn’t have it any other way! We took the girls swimming on Saturday! I was going with the girls and my friend Leah, but at the last minute, I talked Nick into coming along too! (He has ... [ Read More ]
Bargaining Illness
My obsession with thrifting/garage-saling/craigslist-ing could be considered a disease. There's something so thrilling about browsing other people's unwanted used items. I cannot explain it. and Nick is a little annoyed by it. BUT... in my defense: finding bargain furniture has contributed some to our income. Annnnnnnnnnd, not only that, we're able to purchase baby items that would otherwise ... [ Read More ]
