Have you downloaded the OBaby app for iPhones – love it! Shoveling /// toys to and fro with a focus on minimizing and organizing. I’m curious, what’s your toy philosophy? Ignoring /// my sewing stash. It’s been a year now since I worked on any projects :( I seem to go in sewing phases and […]
#washitapelove /// my people and the OBaby photo app, all super /// little miss serious /// pretty french toast + this casserole Owning /// too much. I’ve been setting up our school space which has resulted in a mass purge of toys, books and other mountains of things we don’t need but somehow cart around. […]
Resolving /// to let go, and let God. I’m a type A person, I prefer to have control and obviously, this isn’t realistic is all circumstances. I can’t keep my children well 100% of the time, I can’t see into the future, I can’t hold my breath until Dominic senses that the dishwasher needs to […]
Loving /// experiencing Christmas time with a 3 year old. It’s freakin’ magical! Everyday she talks about baking a cake for Jesus’ birthday, coloring pictures to leave for Santa and picking out a gift for Max. It snowed this week and I’ve planted a firm obsession with hot almond milk cocoa in my girl’s heart. […]
Craving /// bruschetta and lots of it! Italian bread, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes – campari if I have my choice, basil and lots of balsamic. Oh, yum. Waiting /// on our Christmas cards from Minted.

Baby Jemma flashback! And look at those heels I used to wear to work on the daily! Learning /// about essential oils. So. much. to. learn. Growing /// a bit of courage to share a photo or two from my Beauty Revealed Project photo shoot. Have you liked this page on Facebook yet? It’s such […]
Coveting / / / these. Imagining / / / a world where DIYs happened much quicker and with less effort than they do in real life. Asking / / / why I stay up so late. I mean, 11:15, Gretchen? Really? Why are you up? Oh, that’s right … season 3 of Pretty Little Liars […]
Eating / / / Mongolian beef for dinner. Chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Because life is not living without dessert … after the kiddos bedtime, of course. Loving / / / Jemma’s infatuation with picture taking. She loves grabbing my camera, or my phone or my old Kodak that I’ve passed on to her and […]
Feeling / / / really happy + content amidst the boxes I haven’t unpacked and the to-do list that is growing. I think it helped that we spent the majority of yesterday outside … we visited the zoo! Dominic was laid off on Monday (boo!) so we were able to plan an unexpected family day […]
Eating & Drinking / / / tons of water! Since my bout with mastitis and a 3-week long cold my poor milk supply took a dip. I’ve been chugging water like no one’s business to stay super hydrated and it’s working! That and the 2 dozen lactation cookies I gobbled down. Listening / / / […]
