Henry saw these on pinterest (yes, he has his own account and loves pinning- lol!) and knew it was what he wanted to do for this years cards. I have to admit, they were easy to assemble and turned out pretty cute.  We got home late on Sunday night. Mini-vaca was great (great for me,…

In the almost 7 years since we've had kids, I've only ever left them once. It was 2 1/2 years ago when I tagged along with Chris to Boston. I think it might be time to get a few days away, don't you think? I can't wait for this weekend. Will share photo's soon!

February already? We just took our Christmas tree down 48 hours ago. That's a pretty good indication as to the general pace of our lives these last few weeks. Slow. I feel like we are constantly going but I can't actually pinpoint anything I've accomplished. You know what I mean. I know you do.Kate had…

After we picked up Henry from school on Thursday we met up with some friends at the beach in Santa Monica. Beach days are good for us. It gets us out of the house and gives the children tons of room to run around. It was 80 degrees and perfect. We stayed until the sun…

We've been in the kitchen a lot these last few weeks trying out new recipes (Indian Spiced Lentil Soup, above), mixing up some old recipes (peanut butter cookies + whole wheat choco chip, below).Some worked out great, some not so much.  We made some old family tried & true favorites (hello, cassarole!)  For the one rainy…

In an effort to get more nutrient dense leafy greens into my system I've decided to go the green drink route. Green drinks are like the new black, right? Everyone is doing green drinks (oh your not, you should- such an easy way to get those nutrients into your body!) Here's one that I am…

I took the children to Disneyland today for a few hours. It was so blasted hot, we only made it onto 1 ride and 1 show. And they had ice-cream, which is all they wanted anyway. It was packed. They were still playing Christmas music; "I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas." It was weird. It was…

We survived Christmas! We decided to spend it up in Utah at my brothers house. We packed up the gifts and squeezed into the car and arrived the evening before Christmas Eve.  We spent Christmas Eve day doing last minute grocery & gift shopping. The children & I finished the last of the handmade gifts…

Wishing you peace and joy this holiday season surrounded by those you love. Merry Christmas from our family to yours! xoxo The Moore's

This week I've been thinking a lot about what we were doing last year for Christmas. Do you ever do that? We gave Kate a dollhouse and Henry a wooden castle. I was busy making this waldorf doll for Kate. I was literally sewing her eyes & hair on on Christmas eve while we watched…
