Once upon a time, I took an entire hour to create a post. Only to lose it all with one random twitch of my finger on my laptop. Who knew. I’m exhausted and should be in bed. I will hate myself in the a.m. when one of the kids wakes and starts screaming bloody murder….
around here…{mills hizzy edition}
things have been a little crazy fun. We had Christmas, of course. Putting together a 550 pc puzzle Christmas Eve…my kids are super advanced like that. Leaving out milk and cookies for santa…This is the first year Aiden has been so super excited. Emmy called Santa “Clause” the entire time, leaving off the santa part. …
not-so-christmas-shirt tutorial
Apparently I’m sticking with the star shape this Christmas… But I wanted to make all three of my babes a matching motif to wear on their shirts that may even last past the Holidays, (after all the work that went into it, I kind of think they should.) With what I came up with, I…
diy star garland
When I got the west Elm catalog in the mail before Thanksgiving, I was oogling over these cutsie little star garland thingies via David Stark. I thought it was the most precious little design, and I’ve just come to the apparent realization that I have this thing for stars, especially for Christmas. (See Aiden’s room)…
beauty and the bees
We had our annual fall festival at our church last night. The kids had a blast. They went as bees. Emerson was the queen bee, and my sweet little men were honeybees. Too bad Emmy was acting the part, or I could have scored a great shot of all of them. Her tiara made her…
on turning 4.
We threw a partay for the coolest 4 year old I happen to know on Saturday. I think its safe to say everyone had an absolute blast. It was a laid back kind of shindig with blow up bouncy thingies, one excited little man, and his favorite buds. As usual, he had too much cake,…
devastating milk loss and the chainsaw welding banshee.
I have the best husband in the whole entire star sprinkled galaxy. Yeah. I know. Everyone says that. (About their husbands, that is.) Right before they write about something fabulous that they did. I am writing about my wonderful husband as a preface. An introduction to the unmentionable: I could have killed the best husband…
Malone’s first portraits
Things have been quite busy around here, but in the meantime we’ve been taking the time to snap some photos like crazy. Below you’ll also find my first attempt at a birth announcement photo. Yeah. Not working so much since my children are nothing short of lively in the personality department…wish me luck! I need…
bili blankets + baby boys
Malone was stuck on the bili blanket for a whopping FIVE days. He was our little quaranteened gloworm. So, needless to say, I haven’t had a chance to take some official portraits or anything of such (wannabe) grandeur. I DO have, however, a few snapshots of our lives from the last nine days. His first…
