I. Am. GUSHING. NO! We’re NOT pregnant again! SHEESH. We have an incredibly talented friend, who is a professional photographer. We took one look at his work and were DYING to book him. He recently took some family portraits for…
Tuttle: an impromptu lesson in death.
Last Thursday I had quite the conundrum on my hands. I’d come home from a play date after a day of fun to put 3 exhausted children to bed for their naps. It was already 2:30. I was 2 down,…
that’s not chocolate.
We scored a family-wide nap on Sunday afternoon. PURE. BLISS, I tell you. I NEVER get naps anymore. I try with the whole daily coordinated-nap-afternoon-grand-event-of-heavenly-fabulousness, but they kinda really don’t happen much anymore. I lay all three down, and JUST…
emerson’s big gal room
Hello wonderful people! Just wanted to share Emerson’s big gal room with all of you! Here is the before, if you wish to see it first. I struggled for a while, with my colors. I knew which color combinations I…
little mister is turning one!
Well, I must say, it’s bitter sweet. The fact that little Malone is turning one (this tuesday!) kind of breaks my heart, and makes it soar, all at once. My life was incomplete until this little surprise came into it….

just a few shots from around the house.
new playspace
Or as Emerson calls it, the “playproom” I moved the boys in together a few weeks back. It’s cozy and sweet and I love the fact that they are sharing a room. I also love the fact that it makes…
the veranda
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
BOY, was I wrong…
We’re doing quite well. Really. As you can see, Jamin has recovered quite quickly from his traumatic birthing experience, and besides a few blisters, is doing extremely well in the nursing department. He was awesome-I’m really so glad I didn’t…
