So simple. So effective.

And I’ll leave you with a little story.

One night last week, as we walked out of Home Depot and Liam carried the box of things we just purchased, a lady, who had parked right near the exit to the store, asked us “Is that my box of stuff?”

Flustered and completely confused, I replied, “No, we just bought this.”

She then said, “Well, EXCUUUUUUUSE me.” (As if we had just offended her.)

I really don’t know what to make of this little conversation. Did she think a 4-year-old worked at Home Depot and was bringing out a box to her?! So very random.

Have a fabulous day!!

Our morning started out a bit differently than most Sundays.

We had a sleepover at a friend’s house (first time for my boys) AND it was the time change, so all that combined we had  a very sleepy day.

We started the morning off by eating oranges in the sunshine.

While we grownups got to juicin’ and drank our veggies.

We dyed some jeans. (I’ll do my best to follow up with a completed project pic in the near future.)

Then we hit up a local thrift store. We might have been insane taking four kids shopping during nap time, but they were all surprisingly well-behaved.

Great friends don’t need to be asked to buckle your kids in. They just do it.

This kid decided to fall asleep AS we turned onto our street and promptly woke up again as soon as the car stopped. Grr.

I spent nap time (once they finally fell asleep) making this ornament garland. I’m so excited with how it turned out!

My favorite snack lately is bananas with honey roasted almond butter. So delicious.

The exhaustion finally overwhelmed me and I crashed on the couch. What is it about mommy laying down that makes kids need your immediate and full attention?!

Lastly we decided to take our dinner up on the hill above our house to try to catch a glimpse of the comet. My husband and his love for astronomy keeps our life interesting.

How was your Sunday? Hope you’re feeling refreshed and ready to start the week tomorrow!

Flutes and Prego Bellies

Posted on

In the past couple months, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing a gorgeous young woman with her flute and two lovely couples expecting their first child. Sadly I am just now getting around to featuring them on the bloggy blog.

So, I thought I’d lump them all together into one big post.

Meet Allison. She is in college and is a very accomplished flute player. Or is it flutist? Not sure. But she sure is pretty.

Kristine & Daniel’s baby is due soon and the gender is a surprise! I admire their patience since I counted the days until my big appointment to find out if I was having a boy or girl.
