I’ll be sharing that Project Life spread in detail Sunday, but the cute HOORAY stamp is by Whitney Rae Paper. This week was another round of “make a million lists and cross off a few things.” Haircut done, maternity photos taken, blog posts prepped, diapers pre-washed, orders shipped, errands ran, granola & pesto made, dining…

The past few days, I have made a point to take photos from the time when I wake up until when I sit at my computer to start working. This is usually about a 45 minute time period. I wake up without an alarm, usually between 6:10 and 7:15. I am loving the early rise…

robe was a bridesmaid's gift & that calendar is rifle paper co. It feels like the final countdown around here. All of my traveling and adventures are over which means there is little to do other than wait for the little one, nest, write blog posts, host family and friends for long weekends, make progress…

I've been watching Ali document a "day in the life" at the end of every month this year. She's keeping it simple and her photos and layouts (which she works into her Project Life album) have been inspiring to me. The once a month plan didn't really work for me, but I decided to do…

Summer books and a few new stamps are now listed in the shop! Get them now if you're interested. I will be closing shop at the end of May for my maternity leave. Not sure yet when things will re-open, but my guess is mid-August. Rough start this week, but solid finish. We finally bought…

I spent the beginning of the week in funk. Like a normal funk, it was totally exhausting and frustrating. Unlike a normal funk, I knew exactly what the issue was. I miss Paul. And that is an understatement. I physically hurt for Paul. Before deployments entered our lives, I am not sure I fully understood…

Two weekends ago, a mix of my high-school and college girlfriends helped shower the baby girl with love in my friend's backyard. It was so fun to see the girls, of course, and celebrate this little lady – she's the first of the next generation. I failed at getting a lot of great photos from…

It's all coming together. Safe to say my nesting instinct has been kicked up a few notches. I have Paul's mom and sister in town this week and we are organizing and figuring out room layouts like it's our job (it actually is Paul's sister's job!). So fun to feel things starting to settle and…

Good week. Very good. We bought Paul's flights home for his quick leave trip in June. It was pretty surreal penciling the time his flight lands into my calendar. We spent $95 on trip insurance in case he needs to come home earlier or something changes. But I know the fact that we invested money…
