2 CommentsSeven
Today Chris and I are celebrating our seventh wedding anniversary. It’s hard to believe it’s actually been seven years! It’s even harder to believe we’ve known each other for ten years. Time really does fly by. Seven years from now, we’ll have a six year old, and by the time we hit our twenty-fifth anniversary,...

13 CommentsThe Wednesday Sisters + Giveaway
Last week while Chris was out of town, I picked up The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton on sale at Target. (Quick aside — I love that Target still has a decent book section. Just one more reason I prefer it over the big box store options.) The Wednesday Sisters is such a sweet...

4 CommentsNursery Update
I finally finished Mackenzie’s crib bedding last night. I sewed a simple fitted sheet for the crib out of the fabric that we used on her blanket. I was planning to sew a bedskirt, but I think it looks good without one. Who knows — I’ll probably change my mind. This afternoon I will probably...

2 CommentsTetris
Have you ever played Tetris? Or a similar computer game that requires you to fit little “pills” together in a bottle as tightly as you can in a limited amount of time? For a while my husband had this game on his iPhone and became quite good at beating it. I, on the other hand,...

No CommentsThe Giveaway Box
Chris and I are moving into a house this weekend, so as I’ve started packing up our apartment, I’ve once again been tossing unwanted items into a giveaway box. I love this part of the process. The clearing out, the moving on. I love the feeling of saying no to something when I put it...

No CommentsMore Time
Yesterday was a great day for music. Discovering Levi’s Pioneer Sessions was great, but my sister also sent me a link to a Youtube video of “More Time” by Needtobreathe. The song is from the P.S. I Love You soundtrack and reflects a lot of what I’ve been feeling lately — and what I think...

No CommentsJohn Legend + The Roots
Today a friend on Twitter introduced me to Levi’s Pioneer Sessions. I love Jason Mraz’s version of Spirit in the Sky, but the collaboration between John Legend and the Roots is my favorite. Check out this behind-the-scenes video, or visit the project site to download the song for...
