Thanksgiving decor transitioning to Christmas
I can’t go full on Christmas juuuust yet. I want to! But Thanksgiving really is one of my favorite holidays, and I want to savor that. So this is a little “soft decorating” for Thanksgiving that will also transition into Christmas. But hey I don’t know if that gigantic golden laurel above the fireplace is ever […]

3 fun projects to do with toddlers
1. Sooper Beads! This has been a great little sensory activity for the boys. The beads can get huge. We put them in a couple of bowls, with different amounts of water, and they all expand differently. Their little minds are blown. And mine too (: I made a couple packs of these and gave […]
November Goals
oof! Halloween on a Monday was no joke! We had the Halloween parade and program at preschool, I had a migraine after (which may or may not be due to eating too much candy), tons of trick or treaters, and lots of trick or treating. Wes kept saying “trick or treat” and “thank you” … it could […]
recent etsy faves

An interview with the Artist Laurel Leigh
The other day I was looking through etsy for some ornament ideas. I know… i know! it’s October. But something about getting older has me anticipating the seasons more than ever. I hope you’ll forgive me for thinking of Christmas in October after I share Laurel Leigh Designs. She makes these gorgeous custom ornaments and paints […]
tiny police force
{wesleys police costume // tucks police costume // native shoes} Since getting tucks costume two weeks ago, there hasn’t been a day where he hasn’t put it on. Getting it off of him is a near impossible feat at the end of the day. He’s worn it out to target, the park, to a party, the library, […]
i hope you know you aren’t alone
I was reminded by my friend Jordan on October 15th that it was Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness day/month. So even though I’ve shared here before about miscarrying our first baby, I thought I could tell it again. Along with links that I hope can help someone in the thick of it all not feel so […]

All photos by Shannon Kirsten Last night at the Pumpkin Patch with some of our babies. Wesley had shots yesterday at his 18 month check up, so he was running a fever 🙁 and couldn’t make it. I will have to take him back ASAP. But how good looking is Blade the Dogo! How […]
October Goals

These are a few of my favorite things … lately
Lola! Saying she’s overprotective is an understatement, which can get pretty crazy, but she really has been amazing with the kids. I’m so grateful for that. She is our sweet (albeit seriously crazy) girl and she’s very much loved in our house. 3. These Lauren Milmine earrings (c/0)! I’ve been wearing them every chance […]

new school year goals
JB was out of town all weekend on a golf trip with some buddies. He went to Kiawah Island in South Carolina and really enjoyed the weekend. We are all happy he’s back home though! I am one of those that thinks every noise is a serial killer when I’m home alone. So is Lola, so […]
