A few weeks ago I realized that I was going to need some thank you cards ready to fill out and send when we received baby gifts for Oliver. I wanted them to be easy to reach for and easy to pack up in a small bag with a pen... Continue reading

When we found out that we were expecting a baby boy my brain immediately begin to think in black and white stripes with accents of mint green and grey. All of the cute boy onesies and nursery decor ideas that I had observed on the internet were suddenly something that... Continue reading

October is my favorite month of the year at school because the kids are finally nestled into their routines and we... Continue reading

flat tires and marriage vows

Today after leaving work I began to hear an unfamiliar flap flap flap sound coming from the back of the Black Stallion, the name I affectionately gave Landen's 1996 S10 pickup truck. Landen was nearby in the van on his way to pick up the girls so I pulled into... Continue reading

my first artist trading card swap

Back in July, my friend and Two Girls and a Kit partner Carrie text me and invited me to take part in an ATC swap with 4 of her other crafty friends. I'll be honest, my response text went something like: "Sure! But remind me again what an ATC is?"... Continue reading

teaching our girls to be one-of-a-kind

(ignore the chalk on the walls. Adeline decided to 'color' when I thought she was napping. Magic eraser to the rescue!) It is so hard to be true to yourself these days. Between all of the social media blasts that are constantly coming our way and telling us what we... Continue reading

our backyard project

When we built our house a few years ago one of the things that attracted us most to the lot was the size and the fact that it ended at a pretty creek that runs behind the property. We had huge dreams for the space but it was very overgrown... Continue reading

Thank you so much Lydia for you sweet words! Being a mother is unlike anything I could have ever thought it would be. It's so frightening to know that my actions are the baseline for what they will perceive as the right way for treating others. It's great to know that people make it through and have sweet, compassionate children even with all the mess-ups along the way. Have a wonderful day and God bless!

Commented Jun 25, 2014 on the day I messed up at Amanda O'Banion

the day I messed up

You will never get me to confess to being a perfect mother. I will be the first to admit that I have lost my cool a number of times in my two year journey as a mother and I know that in the next 90 years I will make hundreds... Continue reading
