My bike was stolen.  I was up late (early) the other night and after tucking a whining Jack into bed next to me and turning out the night I was instagraming a few photos before closing my eyes when I heard what sounded like my bicycle being moved.  It was about 3 feet away from [...]

So, it’s been like a week since I’ve done any serious work on the studio.  I’m just not into the flow of it and I think that the excitement has finally worn off- so even though I made myself go out there today for a little while I found excuses to come inside (ok, so [...]

I’ve done my darndest to take a photo of each one of the kids each day of their life. Nothing specific or crazy, just a visual documentation of them on that day. Sometimes I forget about it until after they’re sleeping and so I have to sneak into their room and use my little pop-up [...]

for reals. I know that most of the world sees laundry as a chore and that many a mom has complained about the piles and piles that never seem to end. I am not one of these moms. I LOVE doing the laundry. Our laundry basket hardly gets full before I’m putting it through the [...]

I took some time out the other night to sit on my fanny and draw some cameras for the spoonflower contest outdated technology. I drew them on tracing paper, using photogrpahs as guides, and then scanned them in and tweaked them a little. The left is the original file- the right is the fabric design. [...]

hello friends. I hope your 2012 has been lovely so far. As much as I love the holidays I also love this time of year. This buckle-down-and-get-it-done & clean-it-out-and-oganize-it time of year is invigorating. We’ve been doing a little of all of that. The kiddos are back at daycare and Garth is back at work [...]

The kiddos are in bed after a long day of movie watching, ornament & cookie making, trampoline jumping, and late night light tour bike riding. The Mr. and I are soaking in the Christmas eve magic in the living room, waiting for Santa. Christmas Eve is the best. From our rainy little hideaway to you- [...]

…a little bit like Christmas. Although it’s warm/rainy/sunny here everyday and we never close our windows and it’s just about always too warm for hot chocolate. We picked out a tree the other day at Helemano farms, just down the road from our house and brought it home with the top down. It is decorated [...]

I know, I know. This is ridiculous and it’s a good thing that I don’t have sponsors on this blog, they’d be furious. I have been so busy in the thick of living and trying to keep my head above water that the little things like blogging and painting my toenails have completely gone out [...]

We are waiting. Hanging out in this house in this one room with one laundry basket, three air mattresses, and a half drawer full of socks that we never wear (except for Garth, he wears his all the time). We made an offer on a house in February. It was a short sale and at [...]
