this is naturally how we look when we roll out of bed.

My dear friends at Kellan did a FANTASTICALLY FUN shoot of Nathan and I a few weeks back…showcasing our furniture and some fun shots of just us. They just posted the entire shoot on HERE…so check it out!! And let me tell you. After an entire morning of snot, poop, puke, crying and time-outs (which don’t work btw)….it is REALLY REALLY REALLY nice to remember that if we shower and put clean clothes on, WE CAN BE PRESENTABLE PEOPLE/NORMAL TOO.

manic monday

I don’t think I showed you this sign we made a while back with our name. It’s in our living room and now it has Christmas all over it. It’s a lot of barn wood stuff, I know. Finishing up Christmas stuff, working on a set of end tables and trying to keep my hands from being so dry that they bleed. Cheers, s

creating a hallway closet when you don’t have one

OUR HOME is great. I mean, we like it. We do pray we won’t live here forever but it’s just fine for now. Plus its really old so we can do whatever we want to it and it will only improve.

No. 13 {a good luck charm}

No. 13 is my Nonni’s most favorite number in the world. I know some people think its bad luck…WHATEVER.

workshop update {he made it alive}

More huge steps being made on the workshop…which is great. HOWEVER. I walked outside to check on the boys and saw THIS… OH WAIT….does that not look very high to you? Let me back up… SO.

His brothers could have totally offered to sacrifice their lives too. But they didn’t. In other news….you Read More
