A Visit From Seattle

A Visit From Seattle

April 7, 2016Food, Maddie, Seattle0
Our long-time friend, Kelly, and her daughter, Aria, came to visit us a couple weeks ago.

Chuck also made his best batch EVER...

Superhero Party

This year Maddie knew exactly what kind of birthday party she wanted. “a Superhero party with ice cream cake!” So that’s exactly what she got! We invited family and a few friends over and it was so fun and simple. I got a bunch of capes for the kids (and a few extras for adults...

Our baby girl turned 5 last week! 5!!!! I am not an overly sentimental person. I don’t keep every piece of art the kids make or many of the things most parents would keep. But there was something about putting Maddie to bed for the last time as a 4 year old that just turned...

Dept. of Speculation

February 2, 2016Books0
This book was my book club’s December/January book. Another author had recommended it. It was different than anything we had read. And for good reason. It was weird. Here’s a little about the book: In the beginning, it was easy to imagine their future. They were young and giddy, sure of themselves and of their...

I know I say this every month, but time has flown by and I can’t believe our baby is one already. This past year has been a whirlwind and in what feels like a blink of my eye, my baby is no longer a baby. But I can say with all confidence that even though...

Monster Treats

Last week we went to a friend's house to make a little Halloween treat. She found the idea here on Pinterest. These were really easy to make and the kids had a lot of fun. We decided to make them with Fruity Pebbles because her daughter doesn't like Rice Crispies. This was a delicious substitution!...

Dannie asked to try gymnastics earlier in the scho Dannie asked to try gymnastics earlier in the school year. We found a local gym and got her signed up.

She gets so much better each week and practices all the time at home. The couple videos are from her first week at practice. She is fearless and I love how she keeps trying until she gets it! 🤸‍♀️

But don’t worry, she’s not giving up hockey. Hockey is still #1 for her! 🏒❤️
I completed another sign for a friend of mine. Thi I completed another sign for a friend of mine. This was her husband’s writing that I pieced together from something his oldest daughter gave me. I also made some bracelets for my friend and each of the kids.  I wish this sweet family wasn’t going through this loss, but I hope his writing brings them some joy. 💔❤️

True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting o True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting on the boat recently, watching the kids play and listening to the house be built, I panicked. Crap! We should have put our house the other way. Left side on the right, right side on the left. That tree will be in our way! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! 
.
So I immediately text Chuck who is working and tell him about how I am worried almost to tears about this. That we messed up.
.
It isn’t something we can do anything about even if we maybe should have done it the other way, which is probably nonsense. But we love this tree. And it’s going to add to our amazing view. And I want to plant another one on the other side one day anyway. And that big open spot will have a deck and porch behind the main floor garage. And what...I may have to turn my head slightly to see the lake better?🙄
.
Yep. I’m a nutcase. I don’t worry about the things right in front of me. Or even things I should worry about. Nope. Just things that can’t be changed...now that’s where my worry shines! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
