We didn’t get too far on Day One, and that’s mostly because we spent hours frolicking around our new house like baby lambs in a field of daisies, making snow angels in the thick shag carpet because this is OUR house {OURS!} and its JUST PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL, and talking nonstop for hours about our heartfelt visions and dreams about the FUN, pure THRILLING FUN of transforming this diamond-in-the-rough into…

One Thing I Know About My New Kitchen…
I’m gonna be honest… about the ONLY thing I ever remotely miss about the old Blue House is the kitchen. That’s because I designed it. After years of tearing out magazine pictures, I knew I wanted a vintage-style kitchen with white subway tiles, a farmhouse sink, and a pale aqua ceiling. I drew out how I wanted it, and got the kitchen of my dreams. It was beautiful and perfect. Click…

Happy Birthday Annie!
My sweet Annie is seven years old! She’s my hilarious, nutty, quick-witted child who keeps us laughing ALL the time. Plus she pretty much knows all there is to know about the Bible, and about dancing. Her words. She’s brilliant AND talented, is what I’m trying to say. But then she says stuff like “throw upping” when she’s sick and “hicking up” when she has the hiccups, and it’s just…

Hair Envy.
I wouldn’t say I have the worst hair in the world. No, because there’s that woman who works at WalMart who has twelve hairs on her head and a full beard on her face. I know you’ve seen her. She makes me feel better about myself. But my hair, while not that bad, is hard to deal with. In fact, I was telling my mom about this blog post this morning…

Let the New Blue House Adventure Begin!
I know what you think. You think I’m crazy, I know you do. I didn’t get enough of the whole remodeling nightmare super fun adventure during the last Blue House living hell thrill ride.

Plus it has electricity,…

{Trim Healthy Style} Cauliflower Pizza Crust
Take a look at this Homemade Cauliflower Crust Alfredo Cheese Pizza, would you? Oh, it looks delicious all right… but would you believe me if I told you it’s HEALTHY? Well, maybe not by some definitions, because my version is coated with a generous layer of butter, cream, and cheese… but if you’re a believer in whole foods like I am, and that butter and cream from grass-fed cows are…

Trim Healthy Mama Book Review and Giveaway!
I struggled with how to begin this blog post, because I’m certainly not the ideal person to talk about this book. This book, without a doubt, is amazing. Wanna know how I know?

JEALOUS because they keep posting before and after pictures of…

Susie Entertains Herself.
{Baby Love} Five Months.
Susannah Joy is FIVE MONTHS OLD ALREADY! So, so happy. I really hate how FAST the first year whizzes by. Really, really hate it. I want to savor every single minute of her and stretch it out and soak up every last detail of her tiny toes, her chunky thighs and chubby cheeks, her raspberry-blowing and gurgles and coos and giggles. In the blink of an eye,…
