Easter Buffet

Easter Buffet

  I don't have fireplace so I don't have a fun mantel to decorate for the holidays so that  fun decorating falls to my buffet in my dining room. (Ya'll didn't actually think that because I have no mantel I don't have somewhere fun to decorate for the holidays now did you? Of course this girl knows how to improvise.) I got my buffet at Down East Home years ago. We were in the military for 9 … [Read more...]

Easter 2013

  We had a busy Easter this year. We had an Easter Egg hunt at the church.  This of course was Aowyns first hunt where she could walk, I loved watching her toddle around. We colored eggs at home. Which, as you know is always a nice clean affair….. ? We also did our own Easter egg hunt with some friends. I brought candy eggs and my friend brought real … [Read more...]

Crazy catch up part 2

The last few months have been pretty crazy around here. Here is just a few of the things that have been happening around here:*Landon had mono and was out of school for over 2 weeks and missed out on over a month of basketball.* Aurie was diagnosed with Graves disease after being super sick for months. Its been a long battle, one that is far from over, and its a daily struggle that we are … [Read more...]

Easter Pictures

I love taking pictures of the kids all together, but of course that rarely happens since they are all too busy to sit still for pictures, so on holidays, when they are all in their holiday best, I insist we get pictures. I think this years turned out pretty well. I love matching all their outfits but this year was a bit harder with a girl in the mix, and with Landon being in the big boy … [Read more...]

Easter

The boys had a blast this Easter. It was of course a 1/3rd more fun then last year because now Tayton was able to get involved and know what was happening. Sort of! The Easter Bunny always hides our baskets and the boys have to go search for them. This year we talked to the boys about coming and waking us up before they went downstairs. There was a long hard talk but it apparently wasnt long or … [Read more...]

  • This bums me out so much. I love Instagram and I don't like what changes they are making. If you comment or like my posts often it will automatically calculate to add my feed into your updates, otherwise make sure you turn on your notifications from me. Thanks 😉
  • I am a sucker for freckles. Little kids with faces sprinkled with freckles make me weak. Tiny noses and adorable checks with those little flecks all over them kill me. Anyone else have a weakness for little kids with freckles? #freckles #kiddos #momof5 #mommy #cutekids #tinynoses #lovethem
  • Swoon!!! All of it!!!! 😍❤️ @paigemcewen_amodernrustichome has the most gorgeous space!!! #diningroom #decor
  • The leprechaun came to visit us last night. Totally left footprints everywhere, peed in the toilet, pooped on the table, and peed in our milk. Sneaky little guy! At least he left us a good present. I can't wait to eat some corned beef and cabbage later today! We are Irish (all our kids have Irish or Celtic names) so we like this holiday, who am I kidding, all Holidays are so fun. 😂🍀#stpatricksday #leprechaun #holidays #green #tricky #funwithkids #everythingisgreen #irish
  • This beauty found its way to my home! I think we finally have all the dressers we need (for now). I can't wait to get to painting this. I'm thinking I'll go cream on the frame and faux stain the drawers a dark brown. This will go as our entry "table". The dresser that's there now will move to the boys room so they have more drawers and the chest of drawers in their room now will move to the babies room. Now I just need someone with muscles to help my poor hubby move all those pieces around. 😂😜 @mrs.amykelley I think we'll put @mrzekekelley and his muscles to work when you're here! 😉#fauxstain #painting #chalkpaint #chalkpaintpowder #bbfrosch #bbfroschmagic #bbfroschmaster #furnitureflip #movingfurniture #redo
  • I think that's one of the coolest cakes I've ever seen. My boys would all LOVE this. #coolcakes #cakes #cake #starwars #disney #mickeymouse #disneymom #disneyfan #dis
  • I really want to put shelves like this in the older boys room. I think they would work great to hold all of their stuff. I'm planning on putting in a desk for Lego building and then putting these above it so they can store their creations away from the hands of smaller little brothers. 😍 I bought the wood, now I just need to buy the metal pieces. @beneathmyheart totally killed it with her boys room. She is amazing. I've been following her blog for a long time but just recently realized I wasn't following her on Instagram! Fixed that right away! She is my inspiration with her 4 boys, One of whom is currently on The Voice! I was listening to his song last night on iTunes and my hubby (who is a huge music fanatic) walked in and said "who is that? They are really good, I don't think I've heard them before." He is amazing, you should totally go check them both out! #boysroom #makeover #industrialshelves #4boys #1girl
  • Seriously... I just want to move into @lizmariegalvan house! Think she would mind?! 😂😉 it's always just so swoon worthy. I absolutely love everything she does! She is insanely talented! I love following her and getting great ideas from her!!! ❤️ #follow #thatchairthough #thatclock #thecabinet #okayallofit
  • I finally had a bit of energy and made the baby one of the 3 blankets I bought fabric to make. 😍 we'll see if I ever get around to the other two. 😂 one works for now! #fabric #elephants #sewing #babyblanket #babyboy #babies #pregnant #thirdtrimester
  • I get compared to the energizer bunny a lot. People tell me that they have no idea how I do "it all" and have so much energy. Usually I just want to laugh because I'm not even sure what "it all" is but I definitely know I don't do it and most days I barely have the energy to get the basics of life handled let alone do much more. Yes some days I am a ball of energy and I go to bed feeling like I accomplished a ton and other days I can barely think about doing a project without needing to go take a nap. I pace myself ALL THE TIME and for every 30 min-1 hour project I do I have to take at least that much time (usually double) to rest up. I hate that I ever make someone feel like I can "do it all" because truthfully I'm a hot mess most of the time. I'm still figuring out this journey of life just like the next mom. I love the quote "comparison is the thief of joy." It's so true! How about we stop comparing and start celebrating each other on those good days and know that we also all have those hot mess days. I think we would all be much happier people if we took that road. 😀 #motherhood #mothering #parenting #mom #parenthood #hotmess #life #challenges #livingwithgravesdisease #theycallmemom
  • I am officially swollen everywhere! Literally my fingers and toes look like little mini sausages and none of my shoes fit. I started wearing handsome hubbies basketball shorts to bed because it feels so much better, the kids think it's pretty funny. I can't hardly get out of bed on my own and rolling over is a serious work out. Touching my toes is out of the question and putting shoes on is the same as running a marathon. Little man packs a mean punch and kick combo! I am officially exhausted all day and want to sleep every second of the day. I don't even have the energy to nest. 😁 I don't know if it's because it's a fifth baby or because it's the first one I've had in my 30s but man oh man has this pregnancy been the most exhausting one so far. I've been having contractions off and on for the last two weeks so I'll be surprised if he stays in there till his due date. I realized today that if he comes the same time as Tayton did he will be here in a little over two weeks and if he comes when Aowyn did it will be 3 weeks. Gah!!! So close! I've started calling him he same thing in my mind every time he kicks or rolls over and I'm talking to him, but Noah's not on board with a name yet. He has the one he likes and I have the one I like. Every baby we have taken 2 names to the hospital.... So we may just have this guy's name narrowed down to 2, lol fingers crossed. 👶🏼🍼💙 #baby #fifthbaby #fourthboy #pregnant #swollen #exhausted #babybump
  • Finally got Aowyns curtains hung in her room. Only took me 3 months but at least it's done. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate hanging curtains? #curtains #girlsroom #decor #decorate #decorating #sewing #homemade

Words to live by

“Give your child a compliment and a hug; say, ‘I love you’ more; always express your thanks. Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved. Friends move away, children grow up, loved ones pass on. It’s so easy to take others for granted, until that day when they’re gone from our lives and we are left with feelings of ‘what if’ and ‘if only.’ … “Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey and share our love with friends and family. One day, each of us will run out of tomorrows. Let us not put off what is most important.” - President Thomas S. Monson
