LET IT SNOW!
(I know I just blogged about Dora, but things have turned around) There is just something SO ridiculously exciting about when you get the first good snow of the winter! Don’t you agree?? I laid Maisie down for her nap and came out to the the office/living room to find that HUGE snowflakes were falling from the sky! This seriously made me want to jump up and shout and scream and wave my arms all around. I love snow!!!! It brings back all those fun memories of growing up in Oregon and having school cancelled because of the snow! Or making snowmen with my sister or sledding or whatever other fun things there are to do in the snow! It also makes me think of Christmas and holidays, which makes me think of family. So I am sitting here, looking out these big Dutch windows, watching the snow fall and…
Read MoreConfessions of a Hippie Mom (judge if you like)
Sometimes I like to just come out with all the things that I am sometimes embarrassed of or think people will judge me on, just to get it off my chest. Now is one of those times. I think part of me does this to prove to myself that I am not so crazy, while another part of me just wants to be seen as normal, so by sharing what I do on my blog, I hope to make the things I do normal! Why do I even care to be “normal” and what is “normal” anyways!?!? The first thing that I have been ashamed to admit is that I am still breast-feeding. Some people are shocked to hear this as my little nugget will be two in December!!! I would have NEVER thought in a million years that I would nurse this long. NO WAY!!! Before Maisie was born,…

Read MoreDate Night
Justin and I had our first date night since returning to Europe! It was soooooo fun spending time with just us two and doing things we normally wouldn’t have done. Here are some things I did that I normally wouldn’t do on a daily basis (if ever): 1. We went to a movie!! We both really didn’t like it at all. It would have been fine if we went out to the movies all the time, but what a waste of our one movie a year we go to!!! If you have a chance to see ONE movie, don’t see Burn After Reading! Ew. 2. I put on fake eyelashes!! Katie and Bandna, you would be proud. It took me FOREVER to get them on right. And taking them off hurts like a mother. Justin didn’t even notice, but I did keep pointing them out to him! 3. I…
Read More“Bubba”
That’s how Maisie says BUBBLES. She loves bubbles and is pretty much obsessed with them. If she sees them, she screams, “BUBBA!!!” So the other day I let her put her feet in a sink filled with bubbles. She got pretty soaked, but she had a blast. And of course, here are some pictures.
Read MoreFrench Braids
Would you believe that Maisie’s hair is long enough to French Braid!?!? This last week Justin, Maisie, and I packed up our things (once again) and headed over to our friends house to stay with their kids while they went on a little trip. They have a little girl who is almost 12 years old and she asked if I would braid her hair so she could sleep with braids in. So of course I agreed. After finishing her braids, and being pretty happy with my work, I decided to go Little House on the Prairie style with my own daughter. I felt like a true “missionary” braiding Maisie’s little hairs into these little woven braids! haha So anyways, I’ve been French Braiding it up since that day, trying new little versions so as to make her not look so much like she belongs on a farm, working the fields…
Read MoreI found it!
So I just found that Itunes sells the season of The Biggest Loser. Now that I have this information, I am uninterested in buying it. I refuse to buy a show that I can watch for free in the states. Ok, not true. I did buy Project Runway when I was pregnant. Enough of this nonsense!
