We've been busy, busy, busy the past five days here! Saturday was our oldest daughter's birthday, but she's currently living in Brazil, so we didn't get to celebrate with her. She's having a blast though and will be home in April, so we're looking forward to celebrating her 25th birthday once she's back. She spent … Continue reading A catch up post

The Tao of Martha – I begin this week!
After reading The Tao of Martha by Jen Lancaster, I decided to do it: I'm going to spend the next twelve months trying things Martha's way. I mean, the woman has it all together, so why not?

The Tao of Martha
I'm reading this book right now, and it is HILARIOUS! I laugh out loud A LOT while reading the chapters, and I could literally be this woman minus the book deals. If you can get your hands on a copy, definitely read it! You can thank me later. LOL

Elfie and Elfis are back!
We kicked off the Christmas season by attending the city's first annual tree lighting and visiting Santa at the local ice cream shoppe. On Sunday, the elves were found hanging around on the kitchen cabinet and living room ceiling fan. On Monday, Jake made them a little Lego bed with a Creeper pillow. They didn't … Continue reading Elfie and Elfis are back!

I’ve got a plan!
Usually we have a big crew for Thanksgiving, and the past three years, I've made it a potluck. It's been awesome and easy for everybody. This year though I have cousins going to see a new baby on their side, two of Teddy's friends going to visit their families up north, and my parents probably … Continue reading I’ve got a plan!
