Our Family Journey

Easy Photo Canvas Project

guyerfamily — Fri, 24 May 2013 03:22:16 +0000

I love photos. Whether they are purposely posed pictures or candid shots, they all bring back memories of great times with family and friends. Maybe that’s why I have over 1200 photos on my phone and over 3000 photos on my camera. I’m diligent about taking photos but horrible about uploading them to a computer, [...]

Cinco De Mayo and Tres Leches Cake

Walt and I like to have friends over but I always feel like our house to be complete as in fully decorated and organized. Well, if I’m honest with myself that will never happen. My tastes are always changing and we are always tweaking something. So a few weeks ago, we had a few friends [...]

What I Wore – Casually Distressed

Who would have thought how much I would like my distressed jeans from jcp? They are so versatile that I wear them all the time! I even wore then to breakfast with the family on Mother’s Day. I wear them with a t-shirt to clean the house and with a dressy top and heels to [...]

Being a Mom

guyerfamily — Wed, 15 May 2013 03:01:14 +0000

To be honest, I’m a little uncomfortable with Mother’s Day. It brings mixed emotions for many and isolates others. There are women who embrace their mothers and others who miss theirs. There are women filled with love that hug and kiss their children and others that yearn for the opportunity to do so one day. Personally, I don’t think we should need a designated day [...]

What I Wore – Layers

guyerfamily — Wed, 01 May 2013 11:01:19 +0000

I’ve mentioned several times that I’m a bit obsessed with stripes and dots. My last 5 WIW posts include one or the other. This post is no different! I”ve been struggling with losing the last 3-5 pounds of my pregnancy weight. I know that may not seem like much but for me that means the [...]

Earth Day Repurposing Project – DIY Craft Supply Canister

guyerfamily — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 03:37:32 +0000

I was really wondering if I was ever going to get this post posted. Having a 9 month old that is into EVERYTHING doesn’t allow me much time on the computer these days. Last Monday, April 22 was Earth Day. In the spirit of the event, I thought I’d share an recycled or up-cycled project. (I [...]

Our Trip to Boston Marathon 2013

guyerfamily — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 09:00:33 +0000

Leading up to Boston As many of you know, my husband is a runner and he worked hard for years to qualify for the Boston marathon. He qualified in 2011 but couldn’t get in the 2012 race because it was full. He ran the Wrightsville marathon in March 2012 and improved his time (2:53) and [...]

What I Wore: Mixing Polka Dots and Stripes

guyerfamily — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 03:23:16 +0000

Up until this past weekend it has been either cold, wet or cold and wet. It was hard to believe it was spring when the daily highs were in the for 40′s. I was pretty burned out on my winter wardrobe and started getting creative on my outfits – trying to revive them. This outfit [...]

Backyard Fun – Playground Adventure

guyerfamily — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 03:00:51 +0000

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned my plan to have Townes’ nursery design (aka a moodboard) complete by the end of the month. Haha! That wasn’t taking to account Easter weekend and getting bitten by the stomach bug. I felt icky for about a week – ugh. By Saturday though I was feeling like [...]

It includes meats, seafood, vegetables, fruits, eggs and nuts and excludes dairy, refined sugars and processed oils to name a few. I really [...]
