our beautiful everydays
we’ve spent the last almost 5 years doing just what we wanted- when we wanted. we’ve spent spring days in the grass smelling flowers and dirt and feeling our skin warm in the sun. we’ve spent hot summer days in the park for hours filling shoes with sand and duck bellies with bread crumbs. in the fall we walked […]
princess chloe
chloe loves princesses and tea parties. so for her birthday coming up in april we’re having a…you guessed it…princess tea party birthday. (don’t get me started on the fact that my tiny baby is turning 3 because that’s just not even possible) it seems strange that i’m already planning her party in february but this […]
picture day
i have been doing picture days with emily for years and years. it’s like therapy. and when it’s done i have a loaded card to work from.
last saturday we headed to salvation army in the snow in search of a little inspiration…in the form of a dress. and some cool shoes.
in the tiniest of plywood […]
still through the sunlight days i wait
i’ve been feeling down lately. like really down. i’m sure a large part is the anniversary of the loss of my brother. i need to get myself out of this rut. it’s bad. i haven’t made a thing lately. nothing at all.
brent and i went away last weekend and that was lovely. i ate waayy […]
chloe’s 2!
chloe is 2 years old today. i can’t see how that could be possible because she was clearly just born.
i could not be happier that i scrapped the idea of killing myself over a big party and took them to chuck e. cheese instead. we picked up her dora cake and that was pretty much […]
we went for a walk in the park yesterday and fed the ducks. we raced and they picked tiny flowers from the blooming tree branches. chloe couldn’t reach and noah would proudly place them in her hands. it made her so happy. i love to watch them together.
it was a little chilly but we don’t […]
chloe’s almost 2 photoshoot
i always like to take a nice new photo of the kids for their birthday party invitations. so we grabbed a couple things, put a dress on her, added a clippy and headed upstairs. she wanted nothing to do with it until i let her have one of my vintage cameras (n & c are […]
“tomorrow may rain with sorrow. here’s a little time we can borrow”
i took one step out our front door to test the weather today and…..warmth! sunny happy coatless warmth.
i didn’t hesitate to toss the kids in the stroller and take off. i didn’t really want to go to the park and face the swarms of people that i knew would be there on such an outside […]
give it up
since noah’s first birthday i’ve been giving him and chloe big parties. i spend large amounts of time, money, effort and invite everyone who means something to us. but here’s the thing. chloe’s 2nd birthday is on the horizon and i feel a change is coming. i just don’t think i want to do it […]
i encouraged brent to take up some kind of art/craft making when we decided to do a handmade christmas with our friends. after a little searching i found hand stamped metal jewelry…and thought it would be perfect for him. it was.
now he has an etsy shop too and has made some great stuff. i help […]
