Lists. I’m not so much of a list-maker. My grocery lists rarely consist of more than 4-5 items. My thought is if I thoroughly peruse through each and every aisle, I will just rememer all the groceries I need.  Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn’t. I was catching up on my TiVo last night after…

Hooray for get-togethers! I think this month, we may end up seeing everyone we ever knew in Boston (okay not really) but we are getting dangerously close! This weekend, we FINALLY went down to see Andy & Kierra in San Diego. It was fun to see them and their home is GORGEOUS! Eric & Tamara…

I picked up some Amy Butler Fabric this week, which I absolutely adore. I love the blue & brown combinations. Am going to start on Henry’s felt book this weekend, and might try to integrate some of this fun fabric. Have not been feeling well (threw up a LOT yesterday..yick!) But am feeling a little bit…

The weekend started out with a "BANG" when the Taylors came into town on Friday night. These are friends we met in Boston who are now living in Utah. After a very long drive to get to us (Thanks so much for coming!) we thought ‘hey, let’s get BACK into the car and head down…

I’ve been thinking a lot these past few days about ‘inspiration’ and ‘being inspired’.  I’m relatively new to this whole blogging world, but have come across some other blogs that I have fallen in love with and that have totally inspired me.  Inspired me to do what?

He is officially 1 year old! We had a great day today at the park. A little party with lots of friends and food. We were so touched that everyone came to share in the birthday celebration. We really do have such wonderful family and friends who are so supportive of us. This has been…

Growing up, my parents had 5  little wooden chairs. One for each kid in the family. They were all different styles. Last time I was home, I chose this one for Henry. We went for a drive to the beach on Mothers Day and took the little chair with us. Henry was so content just…

the greatest is to be a mother.  I’m celebrating my first Mother’s Day this year.  The birth of Henry not only made me a Mother, but it made Chris a Father. Our parents: Grandparents. Our brothers & sisters: Aunts & Uncles. It’s hard for me to celebrate Mothers Day, without celebrating Henry, who has allowed…

I went to a thrift shop earlier this week  to look for some old books that I could turn into picture frames to give as gifts.  They actually had a pretty good selection and I finished the last of them yesterday. They all have pics of Henry in them (for a certain holiday that’s coming…

The stamp that I ordered with our name & address FINALLY came in and I am totally in love with it..no more writing our return address-(am I lazy or what??) They have a ton of cool designs and you can put whatever you want on the stamp. The company that makes these is called Three…
