{home & garden} I’m still here!
Oh my goodness! It has truly been so long that I think I've forgotten how to upload photos and write a blog post. It's funny, for so long people would look at us wondering how we made it through a day with 3 kids, 2 years old and younger. Heck, I look back at that year in particular and wonder myself how we survived! But I have got to tell...
{family fun} being prepared for all the fun!
Who is ready for all the fun to be had with your kiddos this summer?  Whether they are little punks like ours at 2, 3 and 4 years old....or are a bit older, summer is a great time with LOADS of things to do as a family. The hard part to summer is juggling being prepared for all those activities.  Thankfully, with a little bit of planning, there isn't much...
{home & garden} moving day
Hi.  Yep it's me.  Been gone a while. About 3 months I think. A crazy 3 months. I'm so sorry to have left you so high and dry. I hope to be back soon. Hubs thought it would be fun to sell our house. He likes to keep things interesting. About a week before Hayden's birthday in February he got a wild hair that we should put our house on...
{home & garden} new favorite dining chairs & table
I sent this photo out on Twitter & Instagram a few weeks ago and was astounded at the number of responses back. I guess I kind of forget that new everyday favorites to me that just seem like a part of life, people want to know about too. Oops. Sorry about that.  I need to get a little better at actually sharing all our daily favorites!! Anyhoo.  We had some...
{good eats} a few fave chicken dinners
That looks pretty good doesn't it? And no I didn't take the photograph (one day I hope I'll be that skilled with a camera!). But I'm about to let you in on little secret.... Ever heard of the site How Sweet it Is? You need to know about it. Read it. Follow it. Laugh your booty off from it, but most of all, cook from it! I don't know Jessica....
{me time} sparkle earrings!
A few months after Piper was born, Hubs and I took all 3 girls over to Fashion Island (a local outdoor mall for those not in OC).  I remember it was a Friday, and I just wanted out.of.the.house. The easiest place to go let the girls run around was the Koi fish pound and we could inhale dinner from the food court.  It doesn't sound glamorous, but when you've changed...
{home & garden} tomkat studio ~ valentine collection
I have an obsession with The TomKat Studio. I'll admit it, but it really shouldn't come as a surprise, as whatever I deem to be a favorite, I truly am a loyal follower.  The TomKat Studio. first wowed me with their help on the Three Ring Circus Birthday Party last year.  And of course I'm addicted to their free printable calendar. (And just read that there is a weekly calendar...
{local love} clean baby, CLEAN!!
I could just end this post now with ...... I AM IN LOVE WITH CLEAN BEE BABY!! But you probably want to know why....let's start at the beginning. Gross. Gross to the gazillionth degree! I really wasn't kidding when I mentioned how excited I was to see Xpecting's newsletter a few weeks ago about Clean Bee Baby's visit to clean the heck out of carseats and strollers. Truthfully, I was...
{family fun} super cute sarah & abraham placemats
Since the moment these placemats arrived I've been DYING to share them with you. But I was holding firm to the Valentine surprise for the girls. Then it occurred to me that I COULD share them, because my little girls may be proficient on an iPad, but they sure don't read this blog yet!!! How amazing are these!?!? I may be biased since they show my own little family, but...
{family fun} photo booth fun!
Normally this post would have fallen under {home & garden} for parties, however, I happen to think this would be fun to do even for a play date or weekend activity, or even a family photo shoot. So I decided to post it in {family fun}. One of the activities I chose to do at the girls Three Ring Circus Birthday last year was a Photo Booth. I checked into...
