Crochet Baby Afghan
My mom taught me to crochet when I was little, and the extent of my skills was a simple beanie, simple scarves, and “blankets” for my barbies. I never could read patterns, at least, not well. They didn’t turn out right, ever, so I just kind of gave up for a while. Then, a few […]
Meal Planning/Prepping
I often have friends and neighbors tell me they’re envious of the meals we make, and that they could never have enough time to make the things we make. Uhm, K and I both work full time, we have a 5 month old baby and 4 dogs, so I’m pretty sure we’re just as busy, […]
Replacing Toilets
When we purchased our house we didn’t really pay attention to the toilets, because, well, who does that? After moving in we found that only the basement toilet was full size, so our master bathroom toilet, and guest bathroom toilet upstairs were very, very small for K, and uncomfortable. As it was just a matter […]
5 Years
Last week K and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary; I still can’t believe it’s been that long. The last 5 years have been a whirlwind. We’ve been through four moves, numerous job changes, bought a house, bought 4 puppies, adopted our daughter, etc. We’ve grown more as a couple, and as individuals, than I […]
Merry Christmas!
I always dreamed of having children; watching them on Christmas as they excitedly unwrap gifts in their pjs, then cuddling up to a Christmas movie. This year that is my reality, and excited doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel. A had her photos done with Santa earlier this month, by Dollface Photo, and that’s […]
“Simple” DIY Wood Step Stool
I found plans for this adorable little stool, showed K that plans, and he said we could definitely do it! I was adamant that I help. Let me just tell you how short lived that was. I learned how to use a drill and pre-drill holes, and drill in screws, cut some wood with a […]
Christmas Traditions – Ornaments
We don’t have many Christmas traditions yet, we’re still trying to find what works for us, but these ornaments are a tradition that we’ve borrowed from my family, and done each year since being married. Growing up on Christmas Eve my parents would have a new ornament for my sister and I, and this ornament […]
Christmas Traditions – Gingerbread Houses
I had this adorable idea for a new Christmas tradition – gingerbread houses! I never grew up making them, but they looked so cute and fun that I figured it was perfect. We bought our gingerbread house kit from Costco, and patiently waited for our photo session to bust it out, thinking we’d have the […]
