SWEET PEA in her lovely dress from TWEED. *this* is crazy ~ but as i type, i'm realizing that i don't take many pictures, b/c i don't.know.how.to.take.good.pictures. there it is! that perfection lie. so just as a New Year has come, i'm trying to become new. to LEARN. to GROW in spite of my failing. SO, i've determined that this year, i want to

my ever so talented hubby is in the process of making beds for our older boys room, which naturally got me brainstorming of how *I* would like to decorate their room. of course i plan to incorporate their ideas as well...but here is a springboard of a few of my favorite boy accessories. let's get to it! these little cuties are "pretty cool" as quoted by my guys ~ i may have to get them for

today i want to take a minute to show you a little something i am working on; i call it "30 Days of Thankfulness Banner". it's nothing fancy, rather simplistic, but i love it. here's how you can make one too: gather supplies: scissors felt {colors of your choice. i'm using ivory & gray} stamps / ink pad fabric {i'm using an organic muslin} sewing machine {you could hand stitch if you don't

hello hello...it's Friday & i just have a quick moment. so i'll get right to it.  this week rather than showcase my "etsy favorites", i'm giving you a peak at my pinterest board. truthfully, i haven't been on pinterest long ~ i know, i know, a little behind the times...sorry.  anyways, i love pinterest. it's so visually pleasing to see so many beautiful, inspirational "pins" in one single

this time last year our family found out we were having a girl! needless to say ~ it was definitely a monumental occasion. we took all five of the boys, and Wyatt was the first to respond with "that is SO sweet. i love girls!" he *DOES* truly love his sister! more than the others, he cannot keep from kissing or hugging her *every* time she passes by. it is so so sweet!! today i want to share some

here i am ~ can you believe it! i'm stealing away a moment in between school & lunch to post an update in our life.let me start w/ SWEET PEA who is officially growing up! {smile, sniff }  she has been trying to sit up, though she topples over after a bit & is very interested in moving around. she does this mostly by turning 180 degree circles as well as pushing herself up onto her knees, then

this past week has been a bit busy in our household. i meant to post some new pictures of SWEET PEA, as well as give an update on my hubby's health...but sometimes good intentions get lost in translation. sigh. one of my recent {etsy favorite}posts was about a good friend's baby shower...which came & went successfully. it was a BLAST! as a FULL time mom, i treasure the opportunity to indulge my

i can't believe it's been a month since i last posted...sigh. as i've said before, such is my life. school has been in full swing, Sweet Pea has been teething & i feel like i'm just hanging on. the weather here in Nashville has been BEAUTIFUL, so we've been outside quite a bit...which helps me temporarily forget about the laundry that needs to be put away, the floor that needs to be mopped, and

so a good friend of mine is expecting a baby in the next couple of weeks, and another dear friend is in the middle of preparing her baby shower. this, of course got my little crafty mind brainstorming of lovely things not only for a baby shower, but for my SWEET PEA's first birthday...which is not until next February! well, atleast i'll be prepared! okay, here's some of my favorites i've found on

it's that time again ..back to school. to be honest, i love back to school time! the smell of school supplies & getting organized reminds me that a brand new year awaits, and i *NEED* that fresh start...possibly more than my children need it! my husband and i choose to homeschool our children, not only for a well rounded education, but most importantly for their character...to train up our

YAY! today i want to introduce you to a great little shop, The Fig Leaf a while back i wanted to get a compact size card holder for my purse. since i don't usually carry cash, i didn't see the need for a 'wallet', so to speak. i also wanted to find something gray {i LOVE the color gray ~ hence my firstborn's name}...and i found The Fig Leaf , whose name

Father's Day. i love Father's Day. a special day for the most important person on the earth; my best friend, my husband, our childrens Father. to be completely honest, i am always torn on *what* to give or *what* to  get the kids to make for Dad...sometimes i forget how nice the simple things can be..letting Dad sleep in, making a yummy breakfast, etc. so this year, i'm being purposeful in

well, today's the day; it's the 'sweet girl' Eliana's birthday party. as i mentioned last week, i had a bit of a hard time coming up with a gift idea...but my creative thoughts began to swirl {ie. kiddos down for the night} and here's what myself, with a little help from the 'elder brother', came up with.  first we brainstormed about what Eliana likes ~ she likes to read, Boxcar Children books

this week was one 'laid back' week of school. the 'older' boys spent one afternoon building/painting models, while the 'younger boys' colored posters w/ markers. {thanks to Michael's $1 section}...followed by a dozen rounds of Twister. i think we all are experiencing the "summer bug".  here is "mr. independent", who is finishing up Kindergarten. reading is coming right along i must say;
