Meg

So ya’ll know I love Meg.
She is cool in so many ways.  Her blog is inspirational, her house I covet, her large family…
She is the kind of girl you want living next door.  Because how cool would that be?
I got so close (miles really) of meeting her in person about a year ago, but then...

A splash of color

I have decided that the 365 didn’t make much sense and I was tired of number titles. I will still post every day- but not under the numbers.
The other day Eva and I went to Home Goods looking for new sheets and instead I came away with new pillows for my couch, a new...

Time Suck

Sober (and in the light of day), she realized that buying the companion sculpture to the photograph had been unwise.

36/365

Todays pictures are brought to you by the handy dandy iPhone.
Yesterday morning I got the standard, “I have no jeans- you gave them all to Blake!!” from my 12 year old.  I don’t think that I gave them to Blake but since they wear the same size I guess it’s possible.
Cole was getting picked up...

Are you getting tired of looking at houses yet?  This will be the last one for a while.  Lots of pictures here.
This house is my ultimate dream house.  Like I said in the previous post, it was for sale a couple years ago.  Let’s tour the outside.

The home was built by Harold Kier in 1912,...

Yesterday I got this in the mail

I felt like I needed some sort of motivation and organization in this daily project.  I can’t wait to dive in, although I am not sure how I am supposed to use it.

Cole hates to have tags in his shirts, he has me cut every one out

I had no...

I am in love with Granville Ohio

I have talked about Granville before.  Andy and I always talk about moving “out” there.  It is about 20 minutes from where we currently live.  It’s an old historic town nestled down in a valley, a University town with one of the best school districts in our state.
Every time we go out there we say,...

Yesterday my friend Mikie took me out to lunch for my birthday.  I finally got to try NorthStar in my old hood.  I had the brown rice and beet veggie burger with sweet potato fries.  Yum.
After that we hit SoBo Style which is the kid of store every girl dreams of having.
They had lots of...

How to make beaded star ornaments

Do you have bored kids and need an idea to keep them busy?
Here is one that I do with my kids every year.
Ok first you need some beads.  I buy these beads in bulk when the bead show comes to town but I am sure you can find something similar at Michael’s or JoAnn’s.

Then you...

Eva’s Story- Prologue

So I feel like I should back up a little bit. I get a lot of questions about adoption. Why we chose it, how much it costs, if our adoption is open, etc.
There are things that I think I should keep private because this is after all, Eva’s story. But there is...
