Happy Valentine’s Day!

As I was scrambling around trying to get these five little Valentines all situated for Valentine’s Day before we leave out of town (we’ll be long gone by the time this posts and I was feeling bad we’d be far away from them on the big “love day”), I realized I hadn’t really taken time…

solitude and photos

Yesterday I sat my kids down and told them why I’d be gone today. I told them they better help their Dad while I was gone since he was being so nice to let me be all by myself for a day so I could get caught up with my life. After a minute Elle…

speaking of walls…

…we LOVED having our kitchen ones plastered with people we love through the Christmas season. Yes, it was worth all the Christmas card chaos to get to see so many faces we love for a month.

I’m in Heaven. Honestly, I can’t explain how much I love to travel. Especially when, (warning: a little on the sappy side here…), I get to travel with my best friend. We had a LONG flight over here and didn’t get much sleep not only because we were in tiny seats but because we were…
