I have been feeling pretty whiny lately. I just got braces on Tuesday and they hurt. My mouth is sore and chewing is painful. Day one was no big deal. I may or may not have said to the husband, "I think these braces are no big deal, because I have a really high pain tolerance. I mean....I did carry three babies and have three c/s". Then day two happened and I haven't stopped whining. The husbands wants to know what happened to my "high pain tolerance" and keeps quoting me. Good thing I can ...
FAMILY / HOME LIFE
Simple Entertainment
This winter is getting long. We are heading into March and the week's forecast still has us well below freezing. Everything is covered in ice and the snow is knee deep or higher everywhere. I made this little number years ago and just pulled it back out recently. Yes, wings are required attire. It is just a plastic bin full of dry beans.

Robot Nursery
I have given you glimpses of Hudson's room-- like this gallery wall. The completely talented husband made all the art and you can get the blast off printable here. Clearly, since baby number three's arrival almost 10 months ago, I have been slacking. The vision I have for this room hasn't been met. I think that is part of why I haven't shared. I don't know when or if it will ever reach that level of completion, but I still want to share it with you. It is ...
Storing Toys & Maintaining Style
Last week I shared some spaces in our home that are full of my things. Surfaces styled and beautiful to me. I, however, happen to live in a home with three small children. We LIVE in our home. Like hardcore live. I'm a stay-at-home mom to three beautiful children and they are home with me all day. Well minus Quinn's three hours away four days a week. My kids love to play together, they love to play by me and they love to play where the action is. This is all great, except their rooms are ...
