After a long day of work, we did what any parents would do: We moved all the furniture out of the living room and we built a fort! A fort where no animals were allowed. For a moment, no daddy’s were allowed either – just mom and Kelsey. She loved (loved!) watching the dog try […]
The Renovation Hat: Fighting Words
This is how I feel towards our “plumber”. I put his profession in quotes because he installed our bathtub incorrectly, and now refuses to fix it. Ahhh … such is life, right? Well, instead of getting all feisty, maybe I’ll just shout this out the door the next time he comes over. I pinned this to […]
The Parenting Hat: Kelsey Goes to Ikea
Have you ever taken a kid to Ikea - one of the largest furniture stores, ever. On a recent hunt for a storage bin, we took Kelsey bug to Ikea. We were there just before they closed, so we had the store to ourselves. If you have never seen a toddler in this store … let me tell you, they will go nuts over the […]
The Faithful Hat: Spiritual Sundays
I took this photo 53 seconds before church started today. The band was getting ready to start worship and the shadows of the men really lit up the screen. It was a cool moment where I looked at my husband and smiled. Church was about to start, worship was about to begin and we were about […]
The Blogger Hat: New Headshots
Everyone with an online presence needs a good headshot. Headshots have come a long way, don’t you know. They aren’t your typical suit and jacket photos anymore. They are fun. They are full of personality. And most importantly, they show you in the best light possible. I’m taking a cue from some of my friends and […]
The Blogger Hat: Silly Things
From my family to yours, we hope you spend your weekend doing silly things with the ones you love the most! Thank goodness it’s Saturday!
The Wife Hat: Renovation Updates
If you follow my husband on Facebook, you’ve seen all the photos from our bathroom renovation (I’ll update this site with those next week). We are working very well on this project. From granite choices to cabinet and hardware selections, we have been on the same page and in total agreement. However, I laugh when […]
The Wellness Hat: When skies are grey
Ever had a bad day? Ever vent to a friend and feel a million times better? Don’t you love that good feeling that comes from it? That amazingly good feeling you get when someone is there to listen to you. You see, for a moment in time, you get to hash out the craziness of your day while another person actively listens and […]
The Parenting Hat: Fun with dad
I took this photo one month ago of baby bug coloring with dad. Thank goodness for washable crayons because these baby marks went all over every cabinet, floor and wall. So much fun to watch her explore new things, like colors. Everyday she learns something new and the best part is watching her do it. […]
