This last weekend I’ve been coughing out my brains and have become proficient in miming for lack of voice, so naturally I tried to lock myself into my room and hibernate for a few days. But. The weather. Was just. SO. GOOD. I managed to take enough medicine so I only felt like half a […]

Don’t Be Afraid to Get Dirty
The other day I read an article about fun things to stimulate a child’s mind through play, and a lot of suggestions involved mess-making ideas. Then I read one of the comments on the post where a concerned mom asked if there were any ideas that weren’t quite so messy. At first I thought, “Oh! […]
Frozen Mid-week Treats
Sometimes it is hard to be a little person and go through a lot of changes. With so many changes in her schedule lately, we just felt like Sydney needed to have some time to do something special. We told her she could do anything she wanted, and her choice was to get an ice […]
How to Create Perfectly Imperfect Easter Eggs
Happy First Day of Spring! Dying Easter eggs is one of my all time favorite spring activities, and since Easter is so early this year we decided to head over to my cute friend Kellie’s house this weekend and color some pretty eggs. I think the thing I love the most about dying eggs is […]
Ready For Spring!
It has been a couple of weeks since I posted, so I’ll just give a quick update of my life status right now, I feel it can be accurately summed up in one word. CRAZY. Anyone else have the crazy bug spreading some cheerful chaos in their life right now, too? Yes? At least I’m […]
Advice from the Greats

This quote has always been one of my favorite, and especially in my journey to overcome postpartum depression this is something that I have constantly had to remind myself over and over. I want […]

Easy Pizza Dough (for those that can’t cook!)
Easy peezy pizza dough is just about the best thing that has happened to me all year (yes, I know it’s only January, but still.) I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (and probably again and again and again and again….) I’m a TERRIBLE cook. Really, I could burn boiling water. As a […]
A Day With The Fishes
You know what I love? Colors. Bright colors. All colors. And you know what I really, really love? Bright colors that you find occurring naturally within nature. Maybe it is just me, but a lot of times when I think of “nature-y” colors I think of the typical earthy neutral colors… brown, green, and all […]
Fresh Year, Fresh Air, Fresh Ideas
Happy New Year, friends! We spent the weekend adventuring in the snowy mountains and even though it was f-r-e-e-z-i-n-g, it was still really fun and I thought I’d share some of our photos from the weekend and talk about some resolutions for the new year 🙂 I’m officially in love with New Years. There is […]
