Happy Thursday! There is nothing better than taking a pile of dirty JUNK and turning into something beautiful… photos: eatdrinkchic blog A few weekends ago, we were out at my brother-in-laws farm and I came across a STASH of old vintage bottles/jars he had collected from his property. OK, so they don’t look exactly like the above pics, but I am working on them… {before} {after} I have no pretty flowers to put in them yet because my garden is Read More
GO AHEAD. Judge me for calling my daughter that…WHATEVER. She is in a diaper and hand-me-down whinnie the pooh shoes that are 3 sizes too big for her….NOW WHAT? Last night she helped her daddy pick sugar snaps out of the garden…and she ATE THEM- RAW! So proud. My little granola baby. We start with a little dance… Meanders over to Daddy to help… What is in my sand bucket? And she is trying it……PLEASE like them….. OH YEAH….that is Read More
This post is a little late, but I had to share. My sweet husband and my lovely Ella made this video for me for mothers day. It makes it better to know what she is TRYING to say on the video: “Happy Mothers Day. I love You. Bye!” Cheers! sarah
Ella has new boots. The boots are the #1 source of entertainment for the last few days. From the moment we wake up: And yes, I did her hair like that. Sometimes it is more about function that fashion- right ella? Her reaction to me taking pictures is either to say “CHEESE!” with a very scary smile or to do random things like lay on the floor and stare at me: We have been stuck inside for a few days- Read More
Remember this little gem? Picked it up at the estate specialist $3.00 …. {before} Now the beauty will serve as a nice little flower planter- too bad I know almost nothing about flowers. Any suggestions on what type to stick in it? Since it was an ice box, it already has a hard plastic liner in it….PERFECT. {after} I thought about polishing the copper on it, but I kinda like it like this…. I would have more pics, but the Read More
I have been a little absent from the blogging world this week because some major events have taken place in our family. Well, one major event. Nathan was laid off from his job at noon this past Wednesday. There was no warning whatsoever. The reasons were purely financial- nothing to do with his performance as a designer. He and a project manager were both laid off due to two major clients drying up. I must say, it is VERY surreal Read More
So I have this friend- well, she is more than a friend- she is the best. We go WAY back – I mean, I knew her before I started plucking my eyebrows. Her name is Kelly and together with her husband, they run a fabulously creative photography company KELLAN STUDIOS. Listen, they have MAD PHOTOGRAPHY SKILZ- ok? Well, because she is nice and because I don’t have a single shot of me by myself in the last YEAR, Kelly did Read More
Wouldn’t it be FUN if I posted a pic of ella every wednesday?? I would call it “ella wednesday”. OK- don’t count on this actually happening, but this is me putting my best foot forward… Ella is almost 20 months and MAN do I love this girl… She is my happy Ella Bean. cheers! sarah
This is me the other day- right out of the shower- 31 weeks pregnant with Lincoln. OH MY WORD. Pretty sure this is what I looked like at 38 weeks with Ella. oh- Also, we never ever clean our windows apparently… cheers. sarah
found these on our bike ride Saturday. hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. my “free” weeping Japanese cherry blossom tree is kicking butt in our front yard… happy monday. sarah
