I remember it like it was yesterday. I was running at the gym (read: mostly walking), waiting for another episode of House Hunters to start on the treadmill TV. What I got instead was the premier of a new show called Fixer Upper. It took me about 7 seconds to fall in love...and I've never looked back. First of all, cutest couple ever. Can we all agree on that? Secondly, Joanna's modern farmhouse design style speaks to my heart! I'd give my right arm to have her decorate my house...but since we ...
Weekend Love & the Big 3-1
Just as I was getting used to the idea of being 30, another birthday snuck up on me. They seem to do that once you get past 21...am I right?! Although I can't say I'm particularly thrilled about turning 31 today, it sure was a good excuse to spend time with friends and family over the weekend. I even got to sleep in, which was a gift in itself! Here's a look into our fun little weekend... 1. This guy. We found out he's in the 97th percentile for weight (28 lbs...yikes!) and the 91st for ...
Just a Few Things…Okay, Five.
one. These two had their first preschool "Dad's Night" this week! They did crafts, read stories, and made ice cream sundaes. Pretty much Arden's perfect night...and I know she was excited to share it with her favorite guy. two. Raise your hand if you're over puffy kids coats?!? Seriously...over it. I feel like my kids don't even wear coats half the time because it's just quicker to run like a mad woman than it is to stand out in the parking lot bundling and zipping. I'm thinking about ...
Little Loves
I've got Valentine's Day on the brain right now...anyone else?! All of my go-to shops for kids clothes are full of red, pink, and hearts--and that just makes me smile. For some reason I feel like it's okay to buy a few different Valentine's day pieces because, unlike some other holidays, V-day gear can pretty much be worn all year long. Actually, my kid is sleeping in skeleton jammies right now, so we clearly don't adhere to those rules anyway! Here are some of the {little} Valentine's Day ...
ivivva Sweat Ride
Where are all my Lululemon fans out there? (I'm raising my hand! Because duh, I live in these) Well did you know that Lululemon has a brand for girls, ages 4-14? If not, let me introduce you to ivivva. When I heard about the brand my first reaction was, "where were these kinds of clothes when I was a girl?!" If you remember, I was rocking some sweet, solid-colored sweatsuits and Adidas sambas all through grade school. (It's as scary as it sounds!) However, after spending the day with the team at ...
Arden’s Big Girl Room
I'm finally getting around to sharing some pictures of Arden's big girl room. And by finally I mean 8 months later. Whoops! Better late than never though...right?! When we moved into our house a year and a half ago, we tried to recreate Arden's nursery to keep things familiar and comfortable for her. Then after Nash was born and we had a handle on the rest of the home decor, I got an itch to start working on Arden's room. She requested pink walls and then I kind of ran with the rest...because ...
