Isn’t he a charming little fella? We sure are enjoying having a newborn around here again. The girls bring a sense of fascination and wonder toward their brother. Spicy A is definitely playing the older, protective, extremely affectionate role and Sweet G, at the tender age of 18 months is showing such mature, motherly, big… Continue Reading
I will attempt here to recount the day of our little Soren’s birth. (Little did the St. Joseph’s medical staff know that Lady Starbuck’s helped kick things off with a vanilla late with a triple shot of espresso. hehe) yes, I was kidding. (It was only a double shot!) Ok, so here’s the breakdown:… Continue Reading
Well assuming, I don’t go into labor in the next 24 hours, tomorrow morning baby boy is getting evicted! That’s right. We are scheduled for yet again, another induction. So the plan includes dropping the girls off at Mimi & Bapa’s this evening, enjoying a nice, peaceful coffee/dessert date with the hubby, get a good… Continue Reading
The last and final house project on my list to tackle before baby boy arrives (well besides the office and some outdoor cushions for the patio and the master bath and the….hehe) was the dining room.This was the before: Boring. Drab. I couldn’t figure out WHAT to do to make this space more appealing, more… Continue Reading
Nesting project #2 or 3 or 10 (I can’t remember) was to do something with this bare wall in our hallway entry on a very small budget. We haven’t had a table since Alizea could walk since its top was glass with sharp corners, a trip to the ER just begging to occur as she… Continue Reading

After way too many trips to fabric stores, bringing samples home and going back and forth, and spending way too much time staring… Continue Reading
So for the record keeping, today is baby Soren’s official due date. I despise that phrase. Its very wording implies readiness, completion, the time has arrived, as if that is the finish line when you can kiss sleepless nights, severe middle-of-the-night hot flashes, achy lower backs and throbbing crotches (yes, I just said that in… Continue Reading

We’ve had it the same way for about 5 years and for me, that is a couple years too long for anything in the house. Then with the addition of some pregnancy hormones, things were irritating me… Continue Reading
His room is complete! And 2 whole weeks before his due date. Phew! This is what Genevieve’s tropical botanical nursery looked like before: And now, with a much more masculine take: The cozy corner alcove where much time is spent rocking and nursing. Before: And After: (I may add a little bling to those lamp… Continue Reading
The nesting for this pregnancy has gotten completely out of control. Somewhere between the anticipation of my decorating hobby being put on hold for awhile with life changing very soon adding a 3rd little one to care for and an interest fascination obsession with craigslist, I got the crazy idea to re-paint our bedroom, completely… Continue Reading
