This is Katie, my best friend Jen's daughter. Does it make me smile ear to ear that her name is Katie? Yes, yes it does. This is the little man I came to meet. He and I have successfully snuck out to the grocery store twice. We bought ice cream and 50% off Easter...
I wanted to share the amazing colors of Vienna, Virginia with you today! The town is so beautiful! I hope to find some cherry blossoms to share with you today! Hugs, Kate
Those curls and those eyes! Amazing. Izzy and Millie, you are beautiful. Their little personalities are so precious! They shine brightly with smiles and giggles. Have a great day! Kate
Today, I snuck out to the grocery store with Baby Alex. I felt very proud of myself... navigating a new town in a car that was not mine. Awesome +1. We walked into the grocery store. Magical. I walked slowly and purposefully, careful not to wake him. I peeked down...
Jen and Kate, college freshman (I think?), Lake Whitney. I made it to Vienna, VA tonight. I am so happy just to be here. My time zones will be amazingly upside down (Arizona is 3 hours behind), but that's alright. For the next few days, I am doing what I do best. I am...
For Easter, I had the opportunity to do some shopping at My Hartstrings. I had each child sit down with me to pick out a few items. It was fun looking through their website at all the choices! Julia picked out this cute navy skirt. It has a white underskirt. When it...
We have been trying to start a family movie night for a while now. Mr. B and I thought it would be fun to find a movie that was kid friendly and really make a night of it. I purchased "We Bought a Zoo" at Walmart and tried to plan our dinner and dessert around that...
A trip to Anthropologie, thanks to a birthday present from my sweet sister-in-laws. So happy for Ashley and her project being published! Spring is happening in the desert! Beautiful yellow colors everywhere!...
The beautiful next door dogs have been coming over to play. This is Venus. She is stunning and so calm. This is Elvis. He has a snarl when he smiles. Aren't they beautiful? Don't worry. Murphy loves it. I love our neighbors! Have a wonderful day,...
God found me this week, resting in the smiles of the pictures I took over Spring Break. When life seems like it is moving quickly, one of the most relaxing things I do is look back through pictures. After a few, I find myself smiling and breathing and completely...
Hi! Last weekend, the kids and I spent a great afternoon outside playing with paint and empty pickle jars and spaghetti jars. We made some beautiful, unique Easter jars and vases and wanted to share our project with you! 1. Gather your clean jars and your paints. 2....
Searching for a new shade of lipstick.... Beautiful plates for $0.50 each. I heart Goodwill. A little rain in the desert. Tomatoes. They are so pretty. Double rainbow out the upstairs window. Awesome. The "mantel" is almost done....
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:26 St. Bernard's held a celebration for 1310 AM, honoring one year of Catholic radio in Phoenix....
Such a simple lesson. Work hard. Smile always. Love everyone. Mary Poppins was always lovely wasn't she? Why is it so hard for me to be just like her? Hmmm.... Philippians 4:13 IÂ Â can do everything through him who gives me strength. Maybe it is because I try to do it...
{all images from the Holley Gerth collection at Dayspring} You are amazing. It's that simple. He loves you so, so, so very much. No matter what pain you are going through. No matter how undone life is right now. He loves you. I received a copy of this book to review...
My friend, Bree. We sing together. Every Sunday morning. She is a blessing and an amazing example to my kids. Nate the Great. I love him. He makes me laugh. Did you ever notice? Every popcorn cart has a different little guy stirring the popcorn. Details. I love it....
There is still time to sign up for the mini sessions! We only have a few spaces left ~ so hurry over to Lauren's blog and sign up! These pictures I took during our mock session. We had so much fun with our own kids... running around my backyard, chasing Murphy and...
I met the kids and Brian at "It's a Small World". We had exactly 20 minutes before the kids had their meeting time. Do you know how fun it was to jump in line with friends and ride my favorite ride? Yeah, good times. Then, we all lined up and headed back behind the...
I recently received a printer to try from MomSelect. I have had a blast learning how to use it and I know this is just the first trick I've learned (in the video above with the Instagram App). Can you believe I printed directly from my phone?! You could...
There are very few days that I have the honor of being the hero in the family. That title proudly rests on Brian's shoulders. After singing the day before at the festival, we woke up in Dana Point and rushed to Disneyland. Our curtain call was at 10:15am. There was...
