20 questions, pass it on

Is it around this time of year that everyone runs out of ideas, or is it just me?  We aren't really going anywhere interesting, I'm not doing any major projects (except for birthday planning, but that's top secret!).... So, I thought I'd make up my own little 20 questions and interview myself. Feel free to copy them and answer them yourself! 1. Where and would would you eat if you knew it was your last meal? Out of the million great local restaurants here, the most sati… Read more

Rhys is 11 months old!

So this is it...our last month before he is one year old. This is insane.

Life Lately

Well, the minute I brought home my new computer was the minute I suddenly got too busy to sit down and blog.  Having Rhys home today, I have a few minutes to catch up on what's been going on in our house... Yippee!  My jewelry has a new home. I ordered this shelf from Hudsonlace with an etsy gift card from my class. She custom-builds each piece, so it takes a while, but it was worth it! I stained the unfinished barn wood, immediately regretted it, and painted it white for a "… Read more
