Wednesday in Pictures: Trick or Treat!
Well, it was the worst possible weather for Larkyn's first Trick or Treat, but that didn't stop us from going out for a quick trip to the neighbors' houses! Everything about this holiday was created for this kid. The chance to dress like a piggie, running down the street like she always wants to, meeting new people, and getting CANDY...are you kidding me? If the weather is good next year, I guarantee she will be the last one in that night.
She came to school to see every…

Thursday 13: Best songs in my book
I don't do as much driving as I used to do...my commute is a fantastic 7 miles down 3 roads. And there is a baby in the car 90% of the time. So, my music collection has come to a screeching halt in the last few years. But, I still crank it up to some of these old favorites and a few new ones that I can't get out of my head lately...
1. Little Big Town: Boondocks Just TRY not to join in the break-down at the very end. Feel free to slap your thigh and go all out while still bein…

What are you pinning?
I've been a lazy blogger. Something must be going around because most of the bloggers I follow are a little slow right now too, so I don't feel as bad!
What have I been doing instead? Pinning, of course. That really doesn't take as much thought, honestly. It has become a calming nightly ritual. Here are my top 10 of the week. What do you think? Sorry I didn't link to the pins, but it's time for the debate on TV. Follow me on Pinterest and you'll see links to al…

Celebrating 18 months!
Can you believe it?
Two years ago I was in the blissful wonderland of Buy Buy Baby and Pottery Barn Kids, dreaming up a nursery (without the invention of Pinterest) and hoping I could use my favorite name for my little one.
Today was a beautiful day to celebrate our year and a half with Larkyn.
We drove out to Marysville to get our Christmas card pictures taken, she played in the leaves for the first time, and we ran around outside.
So, what is she up to these days? New words that cra…

60 years together
This weekend, we drove up to Berea to surprise Matt's grandparents with a 60th anniversary celebration.
We met at Matt's Aunt Jeanette's house (gorgeous). The family arrived and all we had to do was wait on the bride and groom. When they came to the front door, I had my camera ready to capture their faces, but a little someone decided to run to the front door to greet them. They were very confused to see their great grand daughter, but so happy upon entering the kitchen an…

How to be a fashion icon
I kid, I kid, but I got your attention, right?
So, I only made it halfway through my spending freeze , which didn't make me feel great. Where could I make cuts if I wanted to help finish off the living room I want to marry ? It would have to be in my wardrobe. Because I've had a "first day of school" for 25 years now, I have grown accustomed to buying Back to School clothes every Fall. But this year, I decided to take what I have and be creative.
And the results? I ha…

Currently...
Feeling: I am exhausted. It was just one thing after another today, and I am mentally spent. All I wanted out of this day was a pumpkin spice latte:( Thinking about: Trying colored denim! Walking on the wild side, I know. But pants are sooo boring, which is why I avoid them as long as I can. Maybe a pair or two of cobalt or red will be fun. Of course, I got this idea from Miss Audrey... Anticipating: This baby sale next Saturday. This year, Larkyn's drawers are scarily empty compare…
