Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas, whether alone or with those you love most, full of celebration and thankfulness for the wonderful gift God gave us in sending his Son. Thank you so much to each and every one of you who stops by, keeps up with what we’re up to, leaves a comment, tries […]
Give Thanks
I think everyone’s been hugging their children a little tighter this weekend, reminded once again of what precious gifts they are, and how fleeting their time with us might be. Every time I have the camera handy at a special moment and remember to capture it, I’m thankful. Sometimes pictures are all we have to […]
Friday Fun!
You won’t even believe what got finished this week. Any guesses? Oooooh, that’s right, whose spindles are white all the way to the tippy top?! Oh yeah, MINE are! Eat that, old orange oak. (Side note: have you ever seen a flight of stairs so in need of a baby gate?! Long, narrow, and rock […]
O Christmas Tree!
So….guess who got an early Christmas present courtesy of Black Friday deals and a wonderful husband??! He assures me this is a present for both of us so I don’t need to up my gift-giving ante, and he also assures me he will learn how to use it and teach me…but let’s be honest, I’m […]
INTRODUCING THEO BENJAMIN!
So those of you who don’t follow me on Twitter or Facebook may be wondering what I’ve been up to. Well, I’ve been having a sweet little baby boy! We are thrilled and thankful to announce the safe arrival of little Theo Benjamin Nienhuis, born exactly one week before his due date and weighing in […]
FALL DECOR: Easy as Pumpkin Pie
This year I did a first for me – I decorated for fall! No, no, not Halloween, I will forever be confused by the idea of putting dead bodies in your front yard, and stringing up skeletons by their jaws, and calling it festive decor. If there is ever a corpse in my yard, I […]
Home Again, Home Again
As of this week, I’m officially back to being a stay-at-home mom as I wait for baby #3 to make it’s appearance in only about 3 short weeks! I’m always on the fence about this feeling, although I have to say so far I feel so relaxed knowing I don’t have to set my alarm, […]
Of Paint and Pregnancy
There are times I realize how amazing the people in my life are. Times like when I went to visit Anna at the paint store because I simply needed to repaint one of the main colours in my house. Yes, I painted it 4 months ago. And yes, the colours were, well, more than a […]
Nesting
“Yook at that yuuuuuge pile of yawndry! Ooooooh, can I touch it? Can I?” With those words, and an awestruck expression, Kristopher carefully climbed onto the kitchen table the other morning to investigate the tower of clean “yawndry” overflowing my laundry basket after a night of washing everything I could get my hands on, from […]
Because I’m a Mom
So sometimes I have to do the whole mom-blog thing. Even if I am rather eager to tell you how good these dark chocolate merlot cookies are when adapted to be made skillet cookie style…please do check in on Saturday for the results of that rather obviously delicious marriage :) It’s definitely fall – I […]
