  • Sharing Hobbies as a Parent

    With the exception of a few puzzle games on my phone, I have not played a video game in years. Probably around 8 years. This doesn’t mean anything to a lot of people. Some might even wonder why a grown woman would have been playing even 8 years ago. But I did. I enjoyed it.…

  • A Vatican of Cardinals

    “We are here, we love you.”

  • New Baby Traditions: Baby Guest Book

    When Daisy turned 1 in September, I went through Baby Box. I arranged some photos of my pregnancy and Daisy through the year, collected a few crafts we (or really I) made with her little finger and footprints, and saved my most favorite of her tiny newborn clothes. The whole process is very bittersweet. You…

  • Mystery Machine Little Tykes Remake (An Eventful Summer)

    Mystery Machine Little Tykes Remake (An Eventful Summer)

    It has been an insanely busy summer. We traveled a lot, and I spent a lot of time planning for a personal goal (I hope to have ready to launch in the next two weeks).  We went to New Orleans in early August, and a few weeks later we drove down to Florida and enjoyed…

  • Defining Love & Happiness

    Defining Love & Happiness

    I planned to write a Valentine ’s Day blog about love, but I couldn’t. Instead I took pictures of my loves. I thought maybe I could find words by St. Patrick’s Day, but still, words did not come.  Instead I showed love with food on my husband’s and grandmother’s birthdays. I have been trying to…

  • We’re having a Daisy!

    We’re having a Daisy!

    Recently we had an abnormal blood test come back for the baby, so we had to have a few more screening blood tests done. They all came back great, and I finally did get back the baby’s gender. I wasn’t going to find out, but when they called with the results and everything was fine,…

  • Don’t Chew on Jesus, The Joys of Stock Photography, and Other Reasons to be Grateful

    Don’t Chew on Jesus, The Joys of Stock Photography, and Other Reasons to be Grateful

    2015 was a difficult year. I suffered more than one loved one having passed, I had terrible separation anxiety from Giacomo, my father had a serious health scare, and the year ended with a such devastating loss for my young niece. I am still too upset over some of these to really talk about them…

  • Grinch Ornaments for Giacomo’s 1st Birthday

    Grinch Ornaments for Giacomo’s 1st Birthday

    It’s crazy to believe a whole year has gone by since my Mr. Man came into the world. I always say that the day he was born it felt like an explosion, that my heart grew 3 sizes that day like the Grinch. So for his first birthday, we had a Grinch themed party. Giacomo…
