I Heart Faces: "Beautiful B&W"

in kiddos, Photography on 09/03/12

Have you ever heard of I Heart Faces? I just recently found it. There’s some great stuff on there along with these monthly photo challenge contests. There are so many great photos to look at. This month the theme is ‘Beautiful B&W’.  I thought I would go ahead and make my first entry with this photo of my two favorite… View Post

School Pictures

in kiddos, Photography on 08/03/12

Yesterday Mr A’s school was doing their spring school pictures and this time I opted to pass on the individual shots and just get the class picture. Last time we got school pictures I had to look twice to make sure I had pictures of the right kid lol. He can come up with the cheesiest smiles sometimes.  Anyway, so… View Post

Getting a Jump on St. Patrick’s Day

in crafty, holidays, St. Patrick's Day on 07/03/12

St. Patrick’s Day it not-so-slowly creeping up on us. Now mind you, this has never been a holiday that I typically observed. My Mom decorated for every other holiday that I can remember, but St. Patrick’s day just never seemed to make it on the map. We pretty much went right from Valentine’s Day to Easter. I certainly never looked forward… View Post

Happy Birthday O-R-E-O

in baking, cupcakes, recipes on 05/03/12

Sufficient to say I have a thing for cupcakes. Ummm…..lets make that an obsession with cupcakes. It wasn’t always this way, but for the time being it seems like a hobby I can commit to. I don’t know why really. Maybe it’s because they are yummy, sweet, cute, little bits of goodness with endless possibilities. It’s gotta be the cuteness… View Post

Mint Oreo Brownies

in recipes on 02/03/12

I must confess. I made these for dessert the other night but they are far better for breakfast. Kidding…but I really did eat one for breakfast! I put these up in the Leap Day post but they were so fabulous I thought they deserved a post of their own. I found the recipe at Love Veggies & Yoga which I discovered… View Post

Leap Day!

in family, fun stuff, holidays on 01/03/12

How did you spend your extra day this year? We made the most of it and didn’t waste a minute. Here are some of the highlights 🙂 We greeted the day with this little guy…. We exchanged backwards notes (and spoke in backwards speak)…. We got creative with marshmallows and toothpicks…. We had a fierce tin foil boat competition where… View Post

15 Minutes

in family, home, kiddos, parenting on 29/02/12

So yesterday, with piles of shoes and toys mounting, groceries that had been unpacked onto the counter, but not put away, and a play date looming for later in the afternoon something had to be done.  However, the last thing I felt like doing after returning from the grocery store and getting the littlest munchkin down for a nap was… View Post

Flip Flops

in kiddos, parenting, style on 28/02/12

Isn’t funny how certain things can make us think of certain people? Even silly old things like flip-flops. Over vacation last week I had a day out with the steps. A rare occurrence where all the stars align and I get to spend the day with just them (well…just them and the munchkin man anyway). We went pottery painting, shopping,… View Post

Hello World!

in crafty, cupcakes, family, kiddos on 27/02/12

Hello world! Welcome to my blog 🙂 I’m really hoping we become great friends. We have so much to talk about! Meet C, Cutiest patootiest 6 month old there ever was if I do say so myself! Sure to be the source of much inspiration. Meet Mr. A, He’s seven (and desperately in need of a haircut). Again, source of… View Post

Hi There!

Welcome! I'm Jen, just your average well caffeinated, camera wielding, multitasking, plain vanilla mom to three boys. I love photography & am addicted to Instagram (oh & Starbucks). So, grab a cup of coffee and take a minute to peruse the pages here. I look forward to getting to know you better! Read More…
