Kate is an incredibly picky eater. Or rather, a “selective” eater, as the nutritionist on her cleft palate team has corrected me. She currently has about five foods on rotation for breakfast and lunch, and spends most family dinners squirming in her seat and singing songs instead of eating what I’ve prepared. She informed me
Do you pronounce it like “care-a-mel” or do you say “car-mel”? I’m typically in the “car-mel” crowd, because I usually don’t have time for that extra syllable when I’m trying to shovel this sweet goodness into my face. When we were kids my parents did this thing called “bedtime snack.” We’d eat our dinner together as a family
You know how sometimes you find that perfect pair of shoes and you absolutely, unequivocally must plan an outfit around them? That’s how I felt about the DIY spiderweb halloween table runner I made recently. It was simply way too cute and fun to sit in a closet all by itself waiting for an invitation, so I decided
Kate and I had so much fun getting our Halloween crafting on recently with these super simple, kid-friendly, no-carve pumpkin ideas! Since Kate has decided she’s a blogger, she’s been taking our DIY craft projects Very Seriously. So when it came time to decorate some pumpkins for Homes.com, we scoured the craft store like two girls
I’m still piecing together notes from Kate’s final months as a 3 year old and am so happy I found this one: Tonight I read It’s Time to Sleep, My Love to Kate and started the book by telling her that she’s my love. After story time I turned out the light and climbed back into
I don’t know who decided spiders should be a decorative part of Halloween, but I’d like to have a word with them. I have a horrible, crippling, terrifying fear of spiders. So far in life I’ve ran my car off the road, held up traffic at a busy intersection, and persuaded a delivery man to come inside and
Oh, unpacking. Wouldn’t it be great if moving required nothing more than the clothes on your back and a toothbrush? Actually, I’m pretty sure I’ve been there before – I believe it’s called college. When I was 17 years old I moved out of my mom’s house and into my new life in a college
We had a garage sale this past summer, and at the time it felt SO GOOD getting rid of so many things we no longer needed. Now I’m kicking myself. Usually I’m the opposite of a pack rat (“let’s get rid of everything!”), but then I wanted to make a pattern to recover our ottoman and
A friend of mine recently spotted Chip and Joanna from HGTV’s Fixer Upper at a coffee shop. Actually, scratch that. Her husband spotted them, went back to their car where she was waiting and said, “You need to go in there!” Her husband! Five man points to him. G wouldn’t have a clue who they are, but
Kate and I have been having fun playing around with no-carve pumpkin decorating ideas this Halloween season and here’s our latest creation – a mummy pumpkin! After seeing Pottery Barn’s mummy pillow I thought, “Hey, that’d be a great a great way to decorate a pumpkin!” Not only did this orange ball of seeds turn out super
