When it comes to make-up, I’ve always considered myself a minimalist. Most days my make-up routine includes a bit of blush and some mascara. I’ve never used high quality make-up, but this year when my parents asked what I wanted for Christmas, I told them I’d love to invest in some. So off I went …

Home Decor Shopping
Good Morning! I missed all of you yesterday! Instead of a workout, I enjoyed being pampered at the salon last night…it was PURE BLISS. A good rest day is just what I needed. Now, on to home decor shopping! After living in our house for just under a couple months, I’m slowly but surely making …
Snickers Bar Ice Cream Dessert
My husband has an amazing memory. He doesn’t forget much. He especially doesn’t forget when he’s eaten something delicious. We laugh about it, but at the most random moments he’ll remember that one time when his mom made a pepperoni meatloaf that he liked, or when his high school friend’s mom made a specific kind …
Unexpected Blessings
In just a couple months, we will be welcoming two precious baby girls into our world. Two identical baby girls, to be specific. Finding out I was pregnant with twins was certainly one of the last things I was expecting. I originally found out I was pregnant when I was about 6 weeks along. After …
Moments Mommy Captured: 1/13/2012
Highlights from our week included… Cuddle time on the couch after Baylen’s 15 month shots. It was our first time at a new pediatrician, and Baylen did great.

DIY: Ladder Towel Rack
Upon moving into this house, we discovered that none of the bathrooms had towel racks. We installed new ones in our last house and knew that it could turn into an expensive project if you simply go to Home Depot or Menards. Therefore, this time around we tried to be a bit thrifty. After several …

Homemade Dump & Taste Chicken Soup
During the winter months a lot of soup is made in my kitchen. In particular, a lot of this homemade chicken soup. The first time I made this for Jake was back when we were in college. We had been dating a few months and he came down with a terrible cold. Wanting to impress this guy who I …
Enjoy God’s Best
We have a choice to make this week! We can either choose to feel overwhelmed by our circumstances, or we can aggressively expect good things. I don’t know about you, but I can almost always expect moments throughout the week when my patience is tested or when I feel overwhelmed with everything that needs to get done. Those moments have …
