Bruce proposed to me nine years ago this very month. Three long yet very short months later, we were married on August 18th 2012! While I posted about our wedding on the blog way back when it happened, it took me years ( um.. nearly nine) to purchase a wedding album for our home! I've always loved Artifact Uprising (you can see that here!) and their Premium Layflat Wedding Album is just absolutely stunning. I was looking through their site and found myself thinking that it was too bad I ... continue reading...
Magnolia Market
Checked off a bucket list item last month on our trip to Texas - Magnolia Market! Our family lives in Denton (Dallas area) and when Southwest started flying out of Colorado Springs, we booked direct flights right away! We were all ready to escape winter and do something! Pre-pandemic and pre-kids we did a lot of little getaways and adventures and we always had a trip to look forward to. Both the toddlers and the pandemic have changed things the last couple of years so it was fun to have another ... continue reading...
The Ministry of Motherhood
I picked up a new book at the library. I'll be honest, I actually just discovered how great the library is! You can request a book online, they track down what library it is at (or if someone has it) and then they get it for you letting you know when it is in.

The book is "The Ministry of Motherhood" by Sally Clarkson and I've heard lots of things about it and figured now was a good time to dive into it. At the end of ... continue reading...
The Shed Office Part One
One day I think we will just call it the office but right now it is the shed office. We are building an office in the form of a shed in our backyard and we are so excited. Like SOOOO excited. We've always had a dream of building a shed that could function as an office but it was never a possibility in the town home (for obvious reasons! lol) When we bought this house, we knew eventually a shed office would be in our future! We've been working on this for a couple months now, designing the ... continue reading...
Won’t you be my Neighbor?
We got a new stove/oven last week and it is the bees knees. After living with a dysfunctional oven for a year an a half, it feels magical to use all the the burners and also be able to bake again. The kids are just as excited about the new stove as we are (I guess they learn from us!) and Hilde has been showing it off to everyone who comes over. A couple days ago my Mother-in-Law came over and Hilde proceeded to grab her hand, lead her to the oven, and shout ta-da while she threw her hands ... continue reading...
