…I Wish They Could Have Slept With Me Just A Little While Longer
[typography font=”Crafty Girls” size=”20″ size_format=”px”]This is my happy place.[/typography] It’s the place I look forward to being in as often as I can.

Life With Two Boys: Dirty, Hilarious, Amazing. I Wouldn’t Change a Thing.
[typography font=”Crafty Girls” size=”24″ size_format=”px” color=”#0099ff”]”It’s a boy!” [/typography] the sonographer exclaimed as I lay on a table with globs of cold, clear jelly on my expanding belly. My husband was relieved. I was heartbroken. I already had one boy so I was hoping for that magical equation where baby number two was a girl. […]
That Time I Flashed a Male Nurse
There really isn’t a great way to write a post about your 2.5 year old son being admitted to the hospital and it is even harder to title. It all started last Sunday (7 days ago) when Everett started screaming in pain at about 1 am. He was awake most of the night crying out […]
Boys and Nail Polish- It’s just a little color…
I don’t enjoy painting my own nails. So I don’t. I typically go to a nail salon for pedicures and I don’t paint my fingernails because I don’t have any. Lately though, in an effort to save money and because I don’t have enough time to go out, I’ve been doing my nail painting at […]

Nothing says “Happy New Year” like a Christmas Video. Right?!
I had really hoped to have my Christmas Morning video edited and published before 2013 but that just wasn’t meant to be. I finished editing it last night and got it uploaded but by then it was too close to midnight to publish here. I was already in “party” mode and by that I mean […]
Getting in the holiday spirit {even if it kills me}
Moving to Florida has been the best thing for our family and we are feeling so lucky to be where we are. Of course one of the drawbacks of the amazing winter weather is that it doesn’t exactly put me in the Christmas Spirit when I’m going to a WinterFest in a sleeveless tank top […]
Photographing Fletcher with his Age in Numbers- Behind the Scenes
Our little tradition of photographing Fletcher next to leaves raked into his age is now 4 years old. What once was as simple as walking into the backyard and raking ow involves driving and seeking leaves in far off locations. Those in the north might be looking at their backyards piled with leaves in jealousy […]
So Worth The Wait…
Almost 4 months ago the boys and I moved into our new home in Florida where we reunited with my husband after a very long 6 months. For those new here the short version is this: Husband got a new job in Florida and we announced our move. We looked online for homes near Tampa […]
