One of the biggest changes that comes with life with kids is the stuff. If you have kids, you probably realized that about five seconds into your baby shower. Umm...where is all this stuff going to go? I'm not gonna lie, I do a little happy dance when the bouncy chair can be retired to the basement. Don't be fooled though. It just gets replaced by more stuff! You can edit and minimize, but that will only get you so far. Especially when we have Quinn who is three and wants to ...

And It All Comes Together…
We have been working on turning our living room into an expression of us. We started with the neutralization process. We tore up the carpeting and had our hardwood floors refinished. Instantly fresh! Then we finally splurged on a new couch in a lovely neutral (Pottery Barn- Pearce Sectional). Finally, we put up a coat of fresh paint (Glass Slipper by Benjamin Moore). Now that our space was neutralized it was time to start adding some personality. We are young. We are fun. We have little ones. ...
The Family Movie Night That Never Was

Chocolate Covered Pretzel Favor
The sun is setting, there is a cool breeze coming through the front door. The birds are chirping, a sure sign that spring is here. Eleanor is napping. I can hear Quinn giggling as he plays with his dad in the backyard and I am drinking a Blue Moon (don't judge) and whipping out a blog post. We spent the day at the park and grabbed lunch with friends. Life is good! I said good, not perfect. Yes, my house is a disgusting disaster. Not in the way skinny people say, "I'm so fat" when they clearly ...
Wedding Crashing MOH Style
Is it crashing if you are the Matron of Honor and it is your sister's wedding? I don't know about you all, but I love weddings. The weather was beautiful, the ceremony was beautiful, the bride was beautiful. There was just a whole lot of beautiful going on. If you know Wisconsin or anything about Midwest weather you know that she is one lucky lady to have gotten married in March on an 80 degree day. These kinds of things just don't happen! The fact it was St. Patrick's day makes her that much ...
