Let me paint you a little picture here of an average evening - I've been spending the day with a pack of adorable, tiny humans, we get them all tucked in to bed, shut their doors, and breathe a lovely sigh of success for wrapping up another day with them. Maybe it was life-givingly awesome, maybe it was a giant dumpster fire, maybe it was a constantly fluctuating mix of both (almost always), but ...
A Shift
Happy Monday, internet friends! Please enjoy this picture of my painfully adorable baby + a side of under-eye mascara residue from the day before. Coming at you today with something different. I'm just going to jump right in and share my heart a little bit in regards to this blog.

I have been talking about Seth coming home for weeks and weeks on here, but I was not ...
One Year Wedding Anniversary!
Today is Seth and I's one year wedding anniversary! And let me just tell you how fast this year has gone by. I feel like it was a month or two ago that I was walking down the aisle, but then again when I look back on everything that has happened this year it feels like we have been married forever. I usually don't write posts like this (non food/DIY related), but I wanted to do it for Seth and ...
