My Husband-Made Kitchen Table

Jill — Tue, 29 May 2012 16:26:20 +0000

It’s done! At the risk of sounding like a sickeningly gushy blogger, am I lucky or what? This table is amazing, so solid, so beautiful, so far beyond anything we could afford to go to a store and buy. My husband built it, using wood leftover from the hardwood floors he installed last year (that [...]

I Love This Man, Especially When He’s Home

Scott just got back from the last business trip of 3. In a row. This last one was 8 straight days, of which the kids were in school for none. I know, I’ve already complained about this before, but it was rough. During those 8 days, I had to come up with stuff to do, [...]

He Grows His Own Food

My kid is ALWAYS HUNGRY. Always. I joke we need to move to a farm and teach him to milk cows so we can afford to keep him, but there’s probably an ounce of truth in that. Of course, I wouldn’t actually move to a farm. Because I don’t farm. Not on Facebook and not [...]

How To Earn A Cupcake

1. Plan your entire day around taking your children to see the only showing of the only G rated movie at the closest theater- Chimpanzee, 1:00. 2. Busy yourself with the children all morning, including long walks and scooter rides, in hopes that the toddler pushes back her nap long enough to pass out in [...]

Mommy Truth: A Toddler’s Sixth Sense

Leyna is nearly 17 months old, and I really wish she’d quit creeping me out like this when my husband isn’t home.

Sleep: Not Just For The Selfish

Jill — Tue, 22 May 2012 13:06:26 +0000

Source: icanread.tumblr.com via Jill on Pinterest BULLSHIT. If I were on my deathbed tomorrow, I could tell you about the great sleep I got in Nashville at the end of February, when I was sleeping in a hotel WITHOUT CHILDREN. But, okay, I get that I’m missing the point of this “inspirational” quote, and I [...]

5 Composition Rules for Every Photography Level

Today, I have a guest post from Courtney at Click It Up A Notch. I met Courtney on Clickin Moms (of course) and we bonded over blogging and social media. So many of you have asked for more thorough tutorials on how to take great pictures (no matter what kind of camera you have), and I [...]

I Took The Kids To The Pool. By Myself.

It went a little something like this. Soo… yay summer!

Leftover Coffee + Coffee Ice Cubes = Easiest Iced Coffee Ever

Jill — Thu, 17 May 2012 18:41:23 +0000

I saw a pin come across Pinterest a couple weeks ago, and it was a simple, genius “why didn’t I think of that!” idea. Unfortunately, it doesn’t link back to anything, but I believe it’s from this stock photography site to begin with. (Ahhh… the issues with Pinterest, there are plenty.) So I’m not going [...]
