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 [...]

Christmas is magic. We had such a sweet little understated Christmas. Strawberry shortcake & orange juice punch for breakfast. Cars, choo choo trains, accordians, pettiskirts, and ponies for the kiddos to open. Lots of candy & snacks. And an afternoon, dressed in red & green, trying to keep the little [...]

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 [...]

It’s looking to be a sweet one for us. We will be at the Port City Market tomorrow enjoying the mid-70’s weather and Sunday will be filled with Easter Egg hunts, pastel madras pants, delicious breakfast food, and LDS general conference streaming right to our front porch. I hope all ya’ll are just as excited [...]

There is a little leprechaun on our front porch. What mischief will he get us into today?
Green food and other festivities are on the way for us- and hopefully for you too.

Garth is 31 today. He is such a super person, and that makes me one lucky girl. He woke up this morning on his birthday, made Jack a bottle, then let me sleep in and brought me hot chocolate in bed. Gosh, if only everyday was his birthday!
love you, Mr. Awesome.
Mrs. Awesome.
