as i've mentioned before, we recently started a reward chart for lula. we've kept up with it and let it go depending on the week, but we always try to get back to it because it still works like a charm. lately lula has been whining... A LOT! i don't... Continue reading

How lovely! We lived in Nashville for three years, and I've never heard of the place! Kind of sad we missed out!

What a beautiful table! I love how everything is unique but still matches. You're a pro at that! And great lazy susan! Definitely going to check that out. I'd love to eat outdoors if I lived in Colorado. :) But I can't stand the bugs and the humidity here. Kind of a bummer!

how we dress. a free spirit in moccasins.

diesel skipped, hopped, and jogged all the way home from the park with his arms out, hands in the air, free as a little bird. he's my free spirit. diesel is wearing a hand-me-down shirt from gap, vintage billy the kid shorts from a garage sale, and moccasins from kaboogie. Continue reading

little two year olds. my organized musician.

if you've been following my blog for a while, you may remember how lula used to organize her toys like this too. it's funny that they both like to do this even though their personalities are very different. diesel also LOVES music. lula does/did too, but diesel definitely is drawn...

little two year olds. momma's boy.

this little guy is so different from lula! lula who used to play in another room while i worked on my computer and rarely came over to even ask for help if necessary. she's quite a bit more social now, but before she could talk, she was completely independent. it's... Continue reading

little four year olds. my girl.

my spectacular photographer friend, janae, stopped by over the weekend to take pictures of our finally "finished" house. (is a house ever really finished?!) she managed to slip in some family photos too, and sent the above right way. i was in tears. that little girl is so precious to... Continue reading

marriage 101. changing my mood in the afternoon.

yesterday i mentioned that i'm often pretty grouchy in the afternoon and ready to skin a cat by the time jay walks in the door from work. not really fun to come home to! i decided that probably needed to change. occasionally i have the selfish attitude, "i've had a... Continue reading

marriage 101. what guys have to put up with!

based on my post this past Friday, you might have the impression that i'm a cynical, bitter wife who is disappointed in my husband. quite the contrary, my friends. i'm a realist who no longer forces unrealistic expectations on my husband and tries to allow him to live his life... Continue reading

marriage 101. wives are the administrative assistants of the household.

***warning: this post is chock full of gender biases and cliche assumptions about gender roles. carry on! something occurred to me the other day after hearing some friends complain that their husbands can't ever seem to find time to plan a date night... something i've complained about frequently myself. not...

little four year olds. party time! part 1.

last week we celebrated Lula's fourth birthday, and boy did we celebrate! i'm a firm believer in the "birthday week". so the festivities began on lula's actual birthday. when she woke up, we had a present for her to open: a pretty pink dress. she has been wearing that dress... Continue reading
