Haha, did you see the funny I made with my witty title? You know… the book '50 Shades of Gray'? It’s ok, I haven’t read it either. And I still live a jubilant and ‘fulfilled’ life. Yep. The REASON my title is '50 Shades of Light' is because Shades of Light has approached us about being our newest sponsors here at Sawdust and Embryos!!!!! (YES that was 5 exclamation points)… It would be an ... [ Read More ]

11 Months!
We realized this morning that today the girls are 11 months! Say whaaaaa? I just can’t believe how fast the time goes. Is it normal that my heart still swells when I look at them? I hope that never EVER goes away. Both girls started waving ‘bye bye’ this week, which is cute on so many levels. I’ve been trying so hard to teach them to clap, but they just aren’t into it. Paisley’s separation ... [ Read More ]
Wiggle Worms!
The girls are becoming so interactive, with such expressive personalities! This is such a fun age. We're having a BLAST! We've been spending a lot of time outdoors lately; playing in the grass and taking walks in the jogger. The weather has been, well... perfect. And I feel so blessed to live in the country with gorgeous views and fresh air to enjoy with my small litter of humans. And not only ... [ 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 ]
China Cabinet Rescue ~ of the Retro Orange Variety
I've been secretly aching to give an old piece of furniture a bold coat of obnoxious awesomeness. Aaaand last weekend, I found the perfect old china hutch on craigslist for a mere $40 bucks! HOLLA! (actual craigslist photo!) My favorite part of making over china cabinets is giving the 'backboard' my own personal touch (like this and this). And having painted the body of the piece ...

Spring Babes
Wow... I feel like it's been a whirlwind week here at the homestead! The weather has been Awesome with a capital A. I'd probably be sitting in the grass with the girls if it weren't for all the Reuben turds and... Reuben himself. He's so large, and enthusiastic in a bad way. In case you're new to the blog, and feel like you're seeing a dejavu... we take weekly pics of our girls to see how they ... [ Read More ]
8 Months Old
The girls are getting so big. I almost can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday the doc pulled them out of my pelvic cavity. I knew time would fly, and it has. I've been trying desperately to cherish and fully enjoy each stage of their babyhood... because it's a fleeting moment. Just a whisper. And taking as many photos and home videos is the best way to capture it and hold onto it ... [ Read More ]
Behind the Scenes
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 ]
Giggles!
Breaking news!! This just in! The girls are laughing! It's about the cutest thing I've ever seen or heard. Paisley laughed for the first time on Sunday, and Adelyn yesterday! It turns out they're quite ticklish! The following photo doesn't necessarily portray them using their new talent. Adelyn's been on an emotional rollercoaster today. She's even got a little tear, can you see it? Paisley on ... [ Read More ]
