It is officially April now. The month our little lady is estimated to make her debut into this world! Today marks 27 days until my due date, but I am hopeful for another early arrival, seeing as Max arrived 8 days early. With all that being said, the time crunch is officially on. I sat down the other day to write a to do list... At the top I wrote, "things to do before ... Read More
My Baby… Plus One
I've been experiencing a fair amount of anxiety lately. I can't seem to escape the frantic to-do list in my head, of things that MUST be done before baby #2 arrives. Time is ticking, and with a presumable 4-5 weeks to go, give or take, I can't help but feel a little doubtful that I actually can, and will, accomplish it all. It dawned on me the other day, that the time I ... Read More
Crocheted Easter Egg Garland
In case you haven't picked up on it by now, I have a slight obsession with holiday themed garlands. After making a crocheted shamrock garland to hang on our mantle for St. Patrick's Day, I was determined to come up with one for Easter as well. I played around a little bit, and finally came up with what I think is a pretty simple pattern to create these adorable Easter ... Read More
Caramelized Onion, Tomato, Basil, and Gorgonzola Quiche
Professional food blogger I am certainly not. Case in point this quiche that I made tonight. Though it doesn't necessarily look like something out of the pages of Gourmet magazine... I can assure you, it tasted AH-MAZ-ING. Being that it is Lent, and we are currently not consuming meat on Fridays, every week I feel pressured to think of something new and tasty for dinner ...

A Vintage Style DIY Nursery

Weekly Project Round Up
Perhaps you could call it a form of nesting, but I have been on a bit of a roll lately for starting... and actually finishing projects. Normally, I am notorious for starting things and not finishing them. Just ask my husband. I have visions; I get lots of ideas, and I am always so excited to get started on these endeavors, but before I can complete something, it seems ... Read More
Preparation Makes Perfect
Image via www.kasia.labocki.com During my first pregnancy, I had this undeniable intuition that I was going to go into labor early. Low and behold, it turned out my intuition was right. Max arrived abruptly, a whopping 8 days early. At almost 32 weeks into pregnancy #2, I'm beginning to have that same gut feeling. Although, I know enough now to know that I'll never be ... Read More
Tough Days Are Part of the Job Description
When it was first decided that I would become a SAHM, I had visions of days spent lovingly tending to my children, with nap times spent sipping on coffee and working on crafts or trying new recipes. In these visions, my house was always spotless with minimal effort involved, and my hair and make up were both impeccably done without fail. Fast forward to 19 months later, ... Read More
Tu… Tu… Tutorial
So, I've been doing some research lately on Pinterest to get ideas for a newborn photo shoot. When I gave birth to Max, we were bombarded shortly after with the opportunity to have photos taken by Bella Baby Photography during our hospital stay. Though the pictures were beautiful, they cost an arm and a leg considering the shoot lasted all of about 10 minutes total. ... Read More
Full Disclosure
I think it's time to come to terms with the fact that I may have a bit of a problem. Not only do I have, what I like to refer to as a severe case of project/craft ADD, but now it seems as though I have developed a bit of a yarn hoarding habit as well. I'll ask for your forgiveness in advance for the fact that this blog post is going to seem a bit all over the place, but ... Read More
