After I wrote yesterday’s post, I just hung my head in shame. How did my life become so out of control that I felt the need to spew my negativity all over the interwebs? Maybe I’m a little toooooo transparent. It was a selfish move... but you guys were so sweet and encouraging. THANK YOU. Since I have a quiet moment (and because writing is therapeutic for me), I’m going to show you a little ... [ Read More ]

Our ‘new’ vintage heirloom dining set
As you know, we sold our dining set in anticipation for my sweet Grandma’s antique heirloom dining set that she wants me to have! It’s quite a haul to Dubuque from here, so we’ve been waiting until we planned to travel there anyways for her 95th birthday party this past weekend. Isn’t she a dish? I’m pretty sure she has a little crush on Nick. And who wouldn’t with his new fu-manchu mustache ... [ Read More ]

Our weekend, in case you’re interested
The weeks are FLYING by… it seems like I BLINK and it’s Monday again! Last Friday, the girls and I got invited by my BFF (we really call each other that… mature, I know), to go swimming at her parents house! We jumped all over that… especially after being cooped up in the house all week! Delly loves the water, but it takes Pais awhile to warm up to the idea. She’s not a risk-taker by any ...

Orange Sprocket Pillow
I’ve been challenging myself to get a little more familiar with my sewing machine. Sure, I can hem a skirt, or make VERY BASIC curtains, but other than that… I’m pretty clueless. It’s true. So a couple days ago, I was browsing my OWN Pinterest page believe it or not (isn’t it so easy to pin something and never look at it again?), and I fell upon these adorable sprocket pillows I had pinned ...
