Dear Green Metal Cut out Shelf thingy…
I am so happy I found you in Cave Creek. I thought about repainting you, but I just don't know what color would make you even more perfect. I think I will leave you as you are for now, while you get accustomed to our home. I am very happy to have you and hope you are...
PTO + Brilliance…
So... instead of selling wallpaper and popcorn this year, our PTO decided to do a gift basket raffle. Brilliant. I don't have to beg anyone to buy stuff, then keep track of remembering to pass it out to the right person! Ya Hoo Yippitee! Great job, PTO! I love new...

India + Home
In 2008, Brian was traveling a lot. He was in Scottsdale Monday - Thursday of every week. In June, right before we moved out here, he traveled to India. He brought home the most beautiful handmade tapestries for me. Today, when I walked into our room, something about...
It’s ok Spiderman… I’ll save you…
 If your refrigerator sounds like it is having a war inside... If you are sure that a call to the Maytag man is in order... If you are panicking because you are in need of crushed ice for your Dr. Pepper so you can pretend that you just drove through Sonic...  Just...
Being and ex-Cheerleader is hard work…
 I am officially the loudest cheering parent on the sidelines. "Hustle" "Get your head in the game" "Keep your eye on the ball" Really. The coach is very thankful, I'm sure of it. I am just making his job that much easier and saving his voice. I mean. He's never said...
Unneccessary Jumping…
 The other day when I read PW's hilariosity about her soccer coach I realized I had been terribly remiss in giving you soccer season updates this fall. I know, you've been patiently waiting for them. Thank you for your patience. Really, you are all rock stars.  This...

Five Minutes + Word + A Wedding Memory…
Laura and Andrew had a beautiful page on The Knot. I knew that shortly after their wedding, this page would be removed and I wanted them to be able to have a slice of it forever. Five minutes and Microsoft Word and they had a frame-able memory. I used the 'Text...
Patience + Memories
I was very done. I was ready to go home. But they wanted to wander. They wanted to explore. One day, I will learn. Look what they found? This little, perfect hi-dy hole. What am I rushing so quickly to? What am I in such a hurry for some days. Slow down. Enjoy...
The Last Day of Swimming…
It has been two years and I am still getting used to the seasonal differences here in the desert 🙂 About two weeks ago (can you believe that?!) we had our last swimming day for the year. What are your everyday memories that you want to start capturing? Thank you for...
Art + Reality…
One of my sweetest blog friends purchased this beautiful piece for Amy's adoption fund. This was one of the first collage's I made. I titled it 'The Way'. She sent me a picture of it hanging in her home and I was floored. I am completely inspired to keep...
I happily announce Mr. and Mrs…
The next morning we all said goodbye after breakfast in the hotel lobby. The nephews {my sweet Nate the Great and my nephew Caden} decided to surprise the bride with flowers they had found from a misplaced bouquet. We said most of our goodbyes and squeezed in just a...

Happy Birthday my Jen Friend
Jen's birthday was Friday. Have I told you how much I adore her? She is my best friend. We've known each other since 7th grade, when our moms made us be friends. It was a perfect match. She played basketball. I danced. She has great legs. I sing. She is a beautiful...
I shall not walk alone…
So, I had my followup on Thursday. I learned so much... I don't even know where to begin. (I am still looking up all the words from my blood work on google... ha} Basically, it means that Sweet Baby J and Nate the Great are miracles, especially knowing that I carried...

Pieces of my heart can be found in Denton, Texas
June 14th, 2008 I left a little bit of my heart in Denton, Texas. I work with a team of amazing people... sweethearts. Thankfully, I work for the same company on the same team. But some days, something reminds me how much I miss them. This happens especially this time...
