Oh hey there, Monday. First thing's first...we have a Stella & Dot giveaway winner! Congratulations to Mateya from The Best is Yet to Come!!! She's due any day (or a few days ago!) with baby #2, so I hope the excitement of winning these green beauties will send her into labor! Or at least make her smile ;) Congrats mama!!! A HUGE thanks to everyone who participated in the giveaway and to Janelle & Shannyn for making it possible! Just a reminder that the trunk ...
There's a Ladybug On My Face! {4th of July in Iowa}
Isn't it funny how our perspectives change on so many things as we get older? As a child I loved going to Iowa to visit my grandparents. Then I hit high school and was suddenly way too cool for my mom's little hometown {why are teenage girls so difficult?!? Lord help me some day!!!} Now, here I am again as an adult and a mother, and I love that place as much as I did as a kid. Clearfield holds a special place in my heart...especially during the 4th of July :) It's ...
4th of July Recovery + A Stella & Dot Giveaway!
Ahhh, Independence Day...you were so good to us. The weather in Iowa was perfect and the days were filled with good ol' small town FUN. I've got tons to share about our trip (including a gajillion more pics of this patriotic mini)...but for now I'm going to relax a little and leave you with an awesome giveaway! My friend Janelle has recently become a Stella & Dot stylist along with her sister, Shannyn (what a fun thing to do as sisters, right?!)...and they've been SO ...
Stuff.
Clearly I'm lacking some creative blog titles right now...clearly! "Stuff" just seemed like the best description of this mid-week hodgepodge. Or maybe I should just call it 6 on Wednesday? :) Anyway, here goes! ONE. We got to "meet" our new kitchen countertops last week...and let's just say it was LOVE at first sight :) I can't wait to see it installed on this island. I might actually sleep here for a few days once we move in... But speaking of moving in, I got the ...
Sleep is Overrated. Let’s Decorate.
I used to be a 10pm lights-out kind of girl...but the past couple of weeks I've found it hard to make it to bed before midnight. So what changed? Well the closer we get to our move date, the more I'm starting to stress about what exactly is going to go IN this new house of ours. You see, before we left Houston I pretty much sold everything we had on Craigslist. Whoops :) Truth is, my style has changed a lot since most of that furniture and decor was purchased (a lot of it right out of ...
Arden: 22 Months!
Height: I have no idea?!Weight: 28(ish) lbsClothing size: 2TShoe size: 6 Number of teeth: 16 Arden, 2 months until you're TWO...say what?!? I've started telling everyone that you'll "be 2 in August" because I can imagine that "22 months" sounds kind of silly to anyone that doesn't have a toddler. I just can't believe that you've been a part of our lives for almost 2 years...but at the same time, it's hard to remember life before you. I'm not going to lie, ...
