If you’ve met my husband, he’s probably at some point mentioned to you that he grew up on a farm. It is a piece of his personal history that defines him completely. He’s proud of his background and happy to share it with you. Before we get to far into our trip to the farm,…
Don’t let these photos fool you. It’s been a lot of potty training around here. Instead of posting pictures from our living room, I thought I’d share some of the other things we’ve been up to. You know, just in case you’re not worried about whether or not Ellie can “make pee or poop” in…
I couldn’t be more excited to have Megan on the blog today. Her ability to capture beautiful, interesting images is one I’d like to steal. So, I asked her the question that’s on my mind (and probably on yours) “How can I take better photos?” Here’s what she had to say. These days the ability to…

Here’s what I’m looking forward to this season: 1. Tomatoes. Lots of home-grown juicy tomatoes, stacked with mozzarella or…
This year, we threw a small party for Ellie with a few friends and family. It was a lot of fun. There were bubbles. We went for a gardening party theme, since Ellie loves few things more than digging around outside. I used this chevron runner from Paper Source that is a longtime favorite. The…
This has nothing to do with our new house, but I had to show you Ellie’s “mad face.” It’s pretty good, right? Where to start? Our new house is coming together, but I have a running list of updates that need to be made streaming through my brain at all times. It goes something like…
