I was never a very healthy child and doctors just couldn’t figure out what was “wrong”. As a baby and toddler, I was often ill and labeled “Failure To Thrive”, even though my mum was doing everything she could. When I was 7 years old, I went in for my first surgery. I had […]

Rescuing Ainsley with the Jaws Of Life
So, today was one of those days where you can’t do anything but laugh and shake your head. In the two short years that Ainsley has graced the world with her mischievous presence, she has managed to get herself into quite a few noteworthy situations. Today, for instance, was no exception. Today involved a call […]
Photo Fridays/ Flashback Friday!
Garrett (Mr. Mouse House) told me I should call it Flashback Friday instead of Photo Friday. What do you all think? Sound better? I feel like I should call it that because he came up with it and deserves some recognition. 🙂 Either way, Photo/Flashback Friday will commence. I have to start with the Bumbo […]
Photo Fridays
I have decided to designate certain days for certain topics/ideas, mostly to get myself organized. Fridays seem like a great day for me to share simple photos from the week, kind of like a general recap! What do you think? Photo Fridays will commence! Jacket I made this week. Available in my etsy shop! The […]
Sugar Cookies on Sick Days
One of the hardest parts of Motherhood is having to take care of your children even when you are so sick that you can barely get out of bed. Even worse is when one of your children (or both!) are sick as well. Sigh. That sums up my week in 100 words or less. Today […]
Catching Up On Life and Bake Sales
I really don’t even know where to begin… I have been so busy with various things and I am feeling a little reflective at the moment. It is these types of moments that remind us of who we are and where we want to be, who we want to associate with, and where we want […]

The Adventures Of Ainsley (and other stories)
Ainsley is our daredevil, our trouble-maker, our reason for a few gray hairs. Good thing she is super cute! She gets “lost”, almost daily…. we won’t be able to find her for a few minutes and then we discover that she has gotten herself trapped in various areas of the house. So far, she […]
Ethan’s Room is Finished!
Update: Ethan’s NEW bedroom can be found HERE FINALLY, we can say that one room in the house is finished! Well, almost finished because I still have a few more things to do, but I can pretty much say that Ethan’s room is good to go. Can you tell what the theme is? haha. I […]
5 MONTHS!
So, Ainsley is 5 months old now and it’s about time that I get my butt in gear and start updating this blog! It’s so true…the second child always gets a little bit shafted. Ainsley has not had any professional pictures taken yet, even though we used to take Ethan every few months. Oops. I […]
Some Naked Fun
These pictures will absolutely be saved to show Ethan’s future girlfriends.
Christmas Eve at Our House
Merry Christmas Eve to everyone! I am one of those people that absolutely love Christmas Eve. It is a day full of excitement and hustle and bustle, trying to get things completed before the big day. Garrett and I spent the day cleaning, wrapping presents, cooking, and enjoying each other’s company. Ethan didn’t seem to […]
What We Have Been Up To!
Okay, okay… I know it’s been a while since I posted a new entry on this blog, but life has gotten a little crazy and I didn’t have the time (or motivation) to write. So, I will try to update as best as possible without boring you to death. Many of you know this already, […]
