Tip of the Hat
Where to start…last week was tragic and heartbreaking. I lost an old childhood friend. It was sudden and left me in shock for a bit. It brought up regrets (like seriously Meghan, did you have to break up with him in middle school so immaturely? And why after getting completely smashed off of too many … Read more
Hunter’s First Flight
So as many of you know, last week contained Valentine’s day. And the card I gave James for that occasion contained my love hearts for him. A WHOLE jar full. Lucky mister. Inside he got a pic of Hunter, a mushy note, and a print out of our lame facebook convos before we got together … Read more

A drinking mug of delight
Well, howdy there. I’M GETTING OLDER on the 14th! BAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhh. whine whine whine. My parents came into town this weekend to celebrate.

Hacienda
Aw yeah dogs, what’s that you see in the corner? That’s my brand new carpet already installed! At lunch today I sat at my cluttered, carpet dust ridden dining room table eating and looking over an ugly decor catalog ,while taking sideways glances at the beauty. If you are wondering what I’m eating it is … Read more
The Good Ole Days
Well in good old fashioned “Jame-and-Meghan-need-a-tight-turn-around-goal” our family room looks like this now. Last night we got confirmation that our flooring guy could come over and replace our carpet THIS MORNING. We had actually gone earlier that day to pick out the carpet, but I wasn’t thinking it would go in until next week. So … Read more
2 teardowns, baby, and yellow fever
Oh man guys, I thought I was going to lose a very important wardrobe element…my bright yellow thrift store find cardigan. I’ve had this baby for 7 years now and it only has two buttons left on it. But it is soft and is this ridiculous yellow that actually looks good on me. I pulled … Read more
6 Month Glamour Shots
Nothing but a nursery, plaid blanket and a baby with no pants on.
Pancake Juice Box
My boy turns 6 months today. You remember when you were young and every time someone asked you your age it was not 5, it was 5 and half. And stressing that half point about your age was your ticket to start getting mad respect from grown-ups. I suppose this is how I feel about … Read more
Linoleum exit
Came up from the basement after doing laundry to see this. The mudroom transformation has begun. Goodbye ugly smelly linoleum. Now to finish it within a reasonable amount of time. Im still waiting on the downstairs bathroom project to move forward. (Swimsuits evident of hot tub time)
5 years and Leslie
On Saturday morning, 6 days shy of Hunter turning 6 months, I got out the organic rice cereal. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I know that giving solid foods is really just for him to get used to eating and not for calories. And really, I never thought I would be saying this, … Read more
I got it past my hips
Finally, I was able to work out this weekend. It had been months or so it felt like. To inspire me to get on the treadmill I got some New Balance running shorts from TJ Maxx. I always feel like a freak in the dressing room running in place and moving all around, but I … Read more
