Your Home is a Time Capsule

As I look around at the mound of clean clothes waiting to be folded on the sofa, the scattered toys on the floor and the haphazardly hung toddler paintings, I feel both a swell of joy and a nag of self doubt. These two feelings have become so closely intertwined these last few years, they’ve […]

Spring is here, for a few days at least. Soaking up the sun, and unavoidably, the pollen as well, is number one priority for us! This time of year always reminds me of change and growth.

Cow Cousins!

One of the coolest kids around, my lovely cousin Hannah, visited us from Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. We all had so much while she was here! When we were deciding what we should do during her stay, Chik-Fil-A’s cow appreciation day came up. Being the silly, creative girls we are, we opted to […]

Time. That is something I never seem to have enough of these days. Since having my daughter in November I’ve often vacillated between feeling overworked and lazy. Sometimes I even feel both at the same time. I think I am pretty proficient at time management, so why is it so hard to cut myself some […]
