I’m sure some of you have heard of Project 52 before. A couple of blogs I follow have done the project. I really love the idea behind it and the finished product, so I decided to do one myself in 2012. The theme can be anything: personal challenges or stories. One of my favorites can… [Read more…]
Here I am! I know i’ve been neglectful, but I have good reason. We are now a family of 4. It’s been quite a ride so a few things have gone on the back burner. Lots of things are new and different. Mama has had to adjust, including learning new forms of patience. And especially… [Read more…]
I’ve been in a photo-funk lately. From no inspiration to having goals that seem impossible to be reached, I am trying hard to dig myself out, but nothing seems to be working. I think my biggest {obstacle} is that I am 37 weeks pregnant. I am hoping once we meet this little bundle, my photo-inspiration… [Read more…]
We are almost there, a few more weeks until baby #2 arrives. The thing is, we haven’t really thought about baby things. We mostly need to get things out of storage, put things together, do laundry, and most important agree on a little boy’s name. No we do not know the sex, and the husband… [Read more…]
Things I love about summer….. The heat. Yes, I know I’m crazy. Seeming to have a little more free time to see family. Family trips to the beach. Daily ice cream/ popsicle treats. I can easily find a reason to have one anyways. The smell of sweat on my little boys hair when he comes… [Read more…]
Our sweet boy turned 3 last week, we celebrated with a pirate party. I admit I shed a few tears. Time flies way too fast. But, even though he is already 3, we are preparing for a new arrival this September. I know he will make an amazing big brother! Jax, we love you more… [Read more…]
I felt like attempting a sewing project today. It was very simple, just for Jax. I made him a pair of shorts , for fun. I let him pick out his own fabric, he was very excited. For my birthday, my sis gave me the book Simple Sewing for Baby: 24 Easy Projects for Newborns… [Read more…]
Here we are, 16 days later. We have had some worries: almost freezing temps one night not enough water? too much water? and the wind, oh the wind! sometimes 40 mph. Finally, our plants seem to be thriving. Well, almost all of them. We are a little worried about one squash plant and our spinach… [Read more…]
Every Spring/Summer, our neighbors plant a garden. Last year, they shared their wealth with us. Tomatoes, yellow peppers, cucumbers, blueberries, etc. When they began to gather plants for this years planting, they had a few too many and brought us some tomato plants to see if we wanted to give it a shot. The tomatoes… [Read more…]
Impromptu camping trip. Well, kind of camping. We rented a camper trailer, and “roughed it” for a few days. It was somewhat successful, if Jax didn’t develop a weird cold/ allergy/ fever thing. He made it through, sometimes I wish I had a 2 year old’s immune system. As bad as I thought he felt,… [Read more…]
