It’s not so much about having too much or too little to do each day. It’s not about cleaning up the living room once the babes have gone down for their naps It’s not about having a multiple-page to-do list waiting for me. It’s not about having the entire day scheduled out. It’s not about… [Read More]

Filed Under: for fun, inspiration

GREAT NEWS! I’ve been working on all sorts of creative projects, mostly little things and mostly with my babes beside me, but it’s progress! Great, wonderful, fun, “making the day fly by so fast” progress. My desk is a mess with various materials, a little (folded) laundry, and my red journal. I love it! Zack… [Read More]

A lesson from my neighbor on creativity.

April 24, 2015 · 14 Comments
Filed Under: inspiration, mamahood

On Tuesday I shared that I have been feeling pretty empty creatively, but after reading through the comments I suddenly felt so rejuvenated. You are all so smart and encouraging, and I felt my spirits lift as I read through your words. It reminded me of this post from Astrid (her IG handle is @redredcompletelyred):… [Read More]

Filed Under: for fun

I’ve been making more of an effort to read more often, either during naptime or once the kids are in bed at night, during the quiet times of day when I really need a few minutes to myself :) After I read Jessica Turner’s The Fringe Hours (which I absolutely loved and highly recommend) I… [Read More]

Filed Under: 10 things I love

As a personal exercise to start noticing the small things around me I started a blog series titled “Ten things I love”. It’s been a while since I made my list of ten things, but that’s OK, I decided I’ll just re-start the series. There’s much to be thankful for, sometimes we just need to… [Read More]

Filed Under: family, Maxwell

We celebrated Maxwell’s second birthday last month with a construction themed party at the park. His first birthday party was so fun (and smooth!) that we decided to hit “repeat” and meet at the same location a year later. We brought with us a huge bundle of blue, yellow and white balloons and a double… [Read More]

One of my most favorite things to do with Maxwell is bake. He is so enthusiastic about baking, and he loves cleaning up the dishes afterward :) We rotate between three recipes when we bake, one being this chocolate chip cookie recipe. This cookie recipe is “the best” because the edges are crispy & buttery… [Read More]
