Why is it so hard to photograph your own children?  Our original plan was to take outdoor photos today, but it looked like it was going to rain and it was a little too chilly for the kids outside without jackets.  So I decided to try some indoor photos, I mean it worked pretty well when they were little, why wouldn’t it now? HA! Kaylee mildly cooperated, but Harper, let’s just say he isn’t big on getting his picture taken unless it’s of his foot (don’t ask me where he got that from). I have a few more to edit but thought I would go ahead and post these two so you can have an idea of what I was working with. haha!

Much Love,

Where did you come from?  I have been going around all week one day behind.  I seriously woke up this morning thinking today was Wednesday.  I don’t know how my days ended up getting turned all around, but they did.  So you can imagine my excitement when I finally figured out today was Thursday and we are one day closer to the weekend than I had originally thought!! YAY!

Today will be filled with schoolwork (blah!), crafting with the little ones and laundry.  I’m also thinking about redoing the blog or (gasp) moving it.  This little blog has made a few moves in it’s day and I’m thinking it’s time to do it again.

Happy Thursday everyone!!

Much Love,

Here’s an Irish Blessing for you…..

May you always walk in sunshine.
May you never want for more.
May Irish angels rest their wings right beside your door.

Hope everyone has a wonderful St. Patrick’s day and don’t forget to wear your green!!

Much Love,

Earlier today I posted the two cute finds I found at our local thrift store so while the kids were napping I was able to get them painted the way I wanted and I love them! Here are the before and afters.

Happy Tuesday!!

Much Love,

I know I’ve professed my love for thrift stores on here before, but let me just say it one more time.  I <3 thrift stores!  Today the kids and I needed to get out of the house and what better way to spend part of our morning than thrifting?  I think Kaylee loves it just as much as I do, she loves to look at all the stuff and tell me where she would put it in our house and she also loves to look at all the hats to see if there is anything she “needs” for her dress up collection.  I ended up not getting much of anything other than these two beauties but it was a fun time looking around.  I plan on painting both of them and will post some after shots when I get done.  I’m thinking bright pink for the deer and I’m not too sure yet for the Buddha.

Oh and check this kid out, first thing he did this morning once we came into the living room was run and get Kaylee’s DS so he could play Mario. If he isn’t trying to play Mario on the DS he’s begging me to put it on the Wii.  He is very concerned for the princesses safety and thinks that we need to save her right now or it’s gonna be bad. haha!

Much Love,

This weekend will be very low key for us.  The red headed fox is out in the field so it’s just the little ones and I.  We will for sure be watching this…

Much Love,

Today I turn twenty-seven.  Since a certain 50 cent song came out way back in the early 2000’s every birthday I wake up with “Go shorty, it’s your birthday, we gonna party like it’s your birthday” continuously playing over and over in my head.  I’m not even a big 50 cent fan, that song just sticks with me now and I can’t seem to make it stop. There will be no partying for me, it seems in my older age I prefer just hanging out with my family and friends and being very low-key. So no exciting plans here, tonight I will be hanging out with the red headed fox and having dinner and a movie (in house of course) after the kiddos go to bed.  Then this weekend we will be getting together with some friends and Sunday we will be going on a family picnic.

Here I am, I don’t think I look any older than I did yesterday, do you? haha!

Now if you’ll excuse me I have some crafting to do, I’ve become very inspired recently and I can’t wait to share some of my projects with you later on!

Much Love,

Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day!  Our day was spent driving to the Atlanta airport and back to drop off my mother-in-law, some much needed family time outside playing in the left over snow, going to the movies to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakquel, and banana splits.  The red headed fox and I decided not to exchange gifts this year, but we did have a chance to get out and have an early Valentines date night while my mother-in-law was visiting.

Also, a few things I’m loving on this wonderful day of love…..
