{We headed downtown bright & early on Friday morning to see Santa at Nordy’s with our friends which has been a Christmas tradition since E was a baby. The girls were all smiles until we got our face-to-face with Santa. I am still waiting for the professional photos to share, but, spoiler alert, it was a doozy.} Continue reading
This year I had high hopes of continuing one of my very favorite blogging traditions which is A Pinterest Christmas. It is a DIY series that I started back in 2011! {You can see all of the posts from the series here.}
But alas, as I have been stepping back a bit from things (to avoid over commitment, for which I am famous for this time of year) somethings had to give and this was one of them. At least for now. I do have a few “projects” that are waiting to be done but there feels like so much to be done with just general Christmas festivities and the closing of The Petite Flag Shop that the list is unlikely to be completed in the coming weeks. But, I did think it would be fun to share my favorite projects over the years in this post! Continue reading

{month twenty-one} Happy December! Maybe it is because I am in denial that we are rapidly approaching Daphne’s SECOND birthday, but it just does not seem like it’s been an entire month since her last monthly post. Continue reading
{We didn’t have any real plans going into Friday, but I did need to go to the grocery store, so U Village made the most sense! Plus, after sitting in the cart and eating all of the snacks in the entire store (seriously, there was an apple, orange, two slices of cheese, one granola bar, and a pouch consumed during our trip) the girls got their wiggles out on the playground!} Continue reading
We headed to Boise to celebrate Thanksgiving, so here are a smattering of pictures from the entire week! Also, I was terrible at capturing many moments (I blame it on the unplugging) and missed a lot of great moments, like a family photo at Thanksgiving dinner, and meeting one of my best friend’s sweet daughter (just 11 days old) and seeing my oldest and dearest girlfriends!
{Aaron and I headed out on an unexpected date night on Wednesday. I had a hair cut scheduled in the evening and my parents offered to watch the girls so we could grab a bite to eat after my appointment. We were lucky to snag a table right away at the freshly opened Diablo & Sons, then headed across the street to Pie Hole for a slice and a PBR (for Aaron since it was $1.25), and then rounded everything out with fried ice cream at The Matador.} Continue reading
{Friday morning we headed over to Bellevue and spent some time at the LEGO store since the girls are both into LEGOS recently and it’s a super kid-friendly store. There was a station where you could make ornaments out of LEGOS and for every ornament made, a set of LEGOS would be donated to a child spending the holiday in the hospital. Eloise made this little Santa one and it was so cute!} Continue reading
This week was a freakin’ doozy, guys. Maybe my least favorite of all of the weeks so far. It started off on Monday evening with me at urgent care after taking a divot out of my finger (from trying to dice sweet potatoes) to mid-week having Aaron diagnosed with Hand Foot and Mouth, and then quarantining ourselves, canceling all of the fun plans we had for the rest of the week and our entire weekend! {Of course, it was a super-packed weekend. Naturally.} Continue reading
