On Halloween
So, this seems like a very unpopular opinion around this time of year, but…I’m so not a fan of Halloween. I know. I’m ridiculous. But seriously…I just don’t love it. I’ve never enjoyed dressing up, the...

We Are Not Backpack People
This post isn’t about home decor or renovations. It’s not about a DIY project or home inspiration. It’s the tale of a weekend date that had the potential to be disastrous and that Corey and I will...

Holiday Tradition
I’ve mentioned once or twice that Corey and I are pretty big on traditions when it comes to the hoildays. I love for things to be the same year after year, and there are some traditions that I look...

Advent Activities: December 6-12
Another week of advent activities down, another week closer to Christmas! I’m so excited about Christmas, but I have to admit it’s so sad how quickly it’s flying by! I used to always hardly be able to...

101 in 1,001: Update
Well, 2012 is almost over and 2013 is upon us. Can you believe it? A few of my kids at school were telling me before the break that they refuse to let go of 2012 and that they’ll never write 2013 on...

An (Un)Healthy Obsession
I may have mentioned here and there that Corey and I got somewhat addicted to the show Dr. Who this year. We had been hearing about it all over the place from people whose opinion we trust (like, you...

A Valentines Day Date Jar

It’s Almost Vacation Time!
Corey and I are soon going to be heading off to our summer vacation. I’m not going to say exactly when we’ll be gone (though we do have someone house/dog sitting), but it’s coming up and we couldn’t be...

An Announcement
You may have noticed over the past few months that things on the blog have been a bit…lackluster. Projects have been few and far between, and nothing too complicated (or, um, well done) has popped up...

Summer Vacation (aka: Our Babymoon)
A couple of weeks ago, Corey and I headed off on our last vacation as people without children. Pretty weird, right? We originally hadn’t planned on taking a cruise this year – we were going to do...

For the past few years, Corey and I have done an activity advent each December in order to ensure that we do some fun, Christmas-y things in the days leading up to the 25th. Last year, we had an...

What We Accomplished in 2013
Wow. I have a hard time believing 2013 is over – this is the year we will have a BABY! Hell, this may be the MONTH we have a baby…I’m due at the very tail end of January! Most years, Corey and I have...

Three Years
What? How did that happen? Corey and I have been married for three years as of today. We’ve been together for 8. We’ve been so focused on Monster’s impending arrival (and Christmas, and a million other...

Date Nights With Baby
I’ll be honest – Jackson is two months old and Corey and I have yet to go on an actual date since he was born. Those of you with kids probably understand this. It’s almost impossible to find time to go...

Our First Date (and a Favorite Recipe!)
A couple of weekends ago, Corey and I went on our first baby-free date since Jackson arrived. We missed him the whole time (though we managed not to talk about him too much!) and worried all night that...

Shifting Priorities and Letting Go
Having a baby changes everything. No, seriously, let me say that again: having a baby changes everything. I’m sure those of you who are already parents are rolling your eyes at me, but I honestly don’t...

First Father’s Day
It’s so funny to me how all of the holidays throughout the year that used to be no big deal are now so important and exciting for me. I mean, we’ve always celebrated Father’s Day with our families, but...
