Lovely Spring

I'm just loving the great weather we've been having. I'm enjoying it while we can; before it gets too hot out!
How have you been? I'm good. Taking care of the kiddos and working on my shop in between. Things tend to be hectic lately... I guess I'm not very good at having balance so I need to work on that.
In the midst of all my shop stuff I'm trying to work on pinpointing exactly what it is I want to be making (I'm a bit all over the place) and what exactly my art style/aesthetic is (I'm a bit all over the place with that too.) So, I'm doing a lot of sketchbook work and list-making. I'll get there!
What are you up to?

Bouncing Baby Boy

Happy Friday! It's another weenimation...another little scene of babyhood that I wanted to capture and remember as it is.
Today has blessed us with beautiful weather! I took Noah for a little walk across the way to the pond and here's a little image I took on the way. Fall is pretty, isn't it?



I hope you have a great weekend! Next week I plan to show our new master bath...it's finally finished! Until then! Hugs...

Crawling Baby

Hi friends!
I want to remember what it looks like when Noah crawls to me for always.
I hope you are having a great Thursday! It's rainy and overcast and it's making me feel blaaaaaah.
I'm feeling kind of lonely and out of sorts lately. In a general way. I live in a sort of isolated location and sometimes it can get to me. I'm a people watcher and love to chat with strangers and I certainly haven't seen any people around for a while so I need this weather to improve, stat!
Maybe I'm just in a little rut. Do you ever feel like you need a change or two?
I just need to get back to basics and remember all I am grateful for.

It's Monday!

Happy Monday friends!
I hope you had a great weekend! Ours was lovely. We went on a little roadtrip to visit Chris' parents in Connecticut. It's always so special to see the kids with their grandparents as they make lasting memories. Like this one where P's grandfather (she calls him "Rico"...not his name, but a long story) is reading her bedtime stories in the "transformer bed" as she calls it. He's great at making the stories come to life!


It was so nice to see them. We had yummy lunches, a little shopping, and watched "Moneyball" on Saturday night. It was awesome and I'm not a huge sports fan.

Road trips are fun for Paige when she gets to watch movies. The choice this time was "Tangled." I played servant while sitting in the backseat on the way. You know the drill...fetching drinks, snacks, picking up dropped toys, entertaining crying baby, feeding said baby the bottle they obviously are begging for, etc.





That nap wasn't nearly long enough. hee!
Paige is back to school this morning and Chris is back to work. I miss them, but Noah and I are holding down the fort just fine. Have a great week everyone. Let's choose the happy path ok?

Let Sleeping Dogs Lay

Lie? Lay? I wish I'd paid more attention in grammar school. Well, I paid attention but I never understood all the rules.

Look closely at Maren the Wonder Dog for a surprise. I think I'll be creating more of these.

Morning Routine

Hi friends!
This is how Noah spends part of his morning while Paige gets ready for school:

I wish I could do that.

And when Paige goes to get on the bus, she always looks for slugs. And bugs. Even if it means making the bus wait! She likes to talk to them and say "awwww, cute little bug."
It's the little things. Literally.
