She’s 21 months and that’s her shoe collection. And…it’s not my fault. She has a thing for shoes and two very doting Grandmas (Or, Memas if you ask Delilah George) and two very doting Aunts, to boot. But it’s undeniable, DG has a thing for fashion (or at least, clothes) and is ready to dress herself. So, {after bolting everything… Read more →

PurgedayThursday: Summer in the Yard with a Toddler and Two Dogs
There it is. Our 200 square feet of backyard bliss. Scott put in that hammock as a Mother’s Day gift to me. He also built me a fountain. {Can anyone tell me what the hell I do with a Waterlily, because I know it’s not THAT.} He built a fence, and a wall, once the girl got tall… (I couldn’t… Read more →
Sandbox Digging Break
Scott’s transforming our tiny yard into Delilah’s wonderland. I’ll own up. These two are growing a bond I have to try hard not to be jealous of. Read more →
Sh*t I Spray Painted Gold
Her name is Goldie and we are mother f*cking in love. I bought her on eBay last week for 12$ when she looked like this: Originally I wanted THIS lamp for my office but it was no where to be found so I took to eBay and got creative. As soon as I laid eyes on this beauty, I knew… Read more →
Happy Mother’s Day
I asked for rocks for Mother’s Day. Instead what I got was one of the most relaxing and charming afternoons of family fun I could have ever hoped for. And my parent’s haven’t even arrived with the pulled pork yet. Oh, and I did get my rocks. And in the process, since our yard is where grass goes to die,… Read more →
PurgedayThursday:And a Mini DIY. BOOM.
Our shit is finally looking something resembling GOOD. And since it’s my nature to make things all zig-zaggy and as hard to follow as possible, we’re back in my office this week, checking in on the make-under progress. I have gotten rid of a LOT of black mesh office supplies… I was just so inspired with the decluttered work space… Read more →
Happy Birthday Getty Owl
Miss Getty. I wish you knew how many people out in this big world care about you, and are wishing you the happiest of happy birthdays as you turn one today. We’re working out butts off over here (especially Angela) to get your album ready, the birthday present we’ve all been so excited to give you. Soon it will go on… Read more →
Oh fuck, it’s Thursday already.
See how bad I need this series? So, Purgeday Thursday (working title) is upon us again, and I am so already effing up this whole weekly series thing. (It’s nearing midnight on Thursday as I write this. Scott is going to bed.) But I can’t give up. I can’t, dear readers, because I am literally drowning in crap. And… Read more →
I think maybe…a weekly series?
I have no idea what my fingers are doing. My brain is screaming all kinds of rational reasons why I shouldn’t put this additional pressure on myself, and yet my fingers and my guts are saying “nah…go on ahead with this one…it’s gonna be good for you.” So…[brushing angel off shoulder] I think I’m starting a weekly blog series… Read more →
Sweet Water Child: Lullabies for Getty
Have you ever heard of SMA1? Neither had I until Stacey, a beloved reader, emailed me about Getty Storm, the infant daughter of close friends of hers, who was recently diagnosed with the disease. If you read any of the same blogs I do, you’ve probably seen Getty’s button pop up in quite a few places, and hopefully it’s piqued… Read more →
