From the moment Nicole told me that she would pick me up at the airport, I knew Blissdom was going to be pretty awesome. And despite the fact that my sweet roommate Kim got sick, it was quite wonderful. We kicked it off with a wonderful photo walk on Thursday afternoon where I finally got…
38
photo by Jennifer Williams I am so very happy to say goodbye to 37 so I just thought I would go ahead and glorify this birthday with the number in the title. I really do NOT like odd numbers for whatever reason and this year has had some ups but some pretty (weighty) downs too….
Onward to Bliss…
Things have been a little nutty around here lately. G has been sick off and on with fever which finally culminated into a full blown, double ear infection. Great times at the clinic today, lemme tell ya! (two restless kids, one sick, one harried mom, waiting for 2 hours, only one electronic device, bored after…
It’s All Good
We ventured out to our little, local zoo today for some Easter-y fun. They host an event with a cute little egg hunt and photos with the Easter Bunny and music, etc. Essentially the kids help pick up recycled eggs and then trade them in for chocolate. It’s a pretty good system, actually. We rode…
On Bike Helmets and Growing Up
Since K is my last “baby” I seem to be a little more um… sensitive to her firsts and her milestones (read: I’m freaking out a little about the fact that she is my last baby and OHMYGAWD what a mess I will be in a couple of years when she goes to Kindergarten!!) {Except the no-more-diapers…
Nurturing The Soul of Your Family
Do you have the perfect family? Admittedly, I do not. On the outset we probably look that way. Three cute blonde kids, a Mom and a Dad. Pretty photos, vacations, stories of love and time together. And we have all that, we do, but it’s FAR from perfect. We also have yelling and fighting and…
Name That Kindergartener
Update: We have our winners! Congratulations to Amy Pike, the grand prize winner of a $300 Amazon gift card! Runners up were Renee and Julie! Thanks to everyone who played along – we hope you had fun! So, did you guess me right? It was pretty easy. Same “squinty” eyes as always. 😉 And here…
Old School Blogging, March
So, back in January I answered 48 Questions about myself in the spirit of Old School Blogging. This month I have joined with Heather at Theta Mom and we are bringing back another meme for those of us who miss “the old days” of blogging. Do you remember when we used to pass these things around…
Just the Two of Us
Blue sky, blue eyes, coral vest and green grass (and weeds). Purple shoes, pink blooms and her favorite scarf with hearts. Blonde hair and yogurt-trimmed lips. A sweet, little girl who hardly stops talking and asking questions. Swinging together and bouquets from the backyard. Sun shining and birds chirping with Spring in the air, it’s almost here….
From Whence Inspiration Comes
I’ve been blogging here for over 6 years now. It kinda blows my mind that I have been writing and photographing and posting about my life and family for that long in this space. Recently I was thinking about how so many “bloggers” aspire to write a book and I kind of think I have…
