Why, yes. My son most certainly does need another navy and white quilt. Why do you ask?After finishing the houndstooth quilt, I made this zig zag chevron quilt for Henry in May and scheduled a post about it on May 25, Henry's birthday. I had planned to finish binding it the week Henry was born. Needless to...

I have had several comments and emails asking whether I would post Henry's birth story. I honestly never really read birth stories on other blogs. Mostly, because they are long. (Just being honest.) And also because I figured that every birth is so different.However, I started writing this post in June and in the...

One more check in curb appeal progress. And this is a biggie.I finally painted the railing that Ryan built in May. And boy, oh boy. I'm glad that's done.
And because I never get tired of seeing befores and afters, here's what the house looked like when we bought it in 2010. You may need to take a shower after...

And, because I think it's humorous, here's a series of photo I have entitled A BABY IN MOTION! To say it's nearly impossible to get a good photo of this little wiggleworm each week is an understatement.
I'm seriously considering ordering a flip book of these pictures because I think
...My new favorite lunch

Being home with my little Henry means that lunch has changed. I obviously try to eat at home more often (although I still go out more than I should). The problem? I'm not really a cold cut kind of girl, and I didn't want to make big meals for one.Then, I took Henry to a local coffee shop a few weeks ago to get out of...

If we are going out to eat and if Ryan is choosing, you can bet your bippy that Chick Fil A is on the top of the list. And we ate at the local Chick Fil A so often during my pregnancy that I'm surprised Henry didn't come out smelling like a chicken nugget.And while we will still frequent our local establishment (far...

Ryan has made big progress on the barn deconstruction front. He got it completely down and after three trailer loads on a 104 degree day, it's stacked up on our property ready for construction.The plan is to pour a concrete foundation and then reassemble on the property. Although he won't be reassembling it exactly as...

A bean burger

When I spotted this chipotle black bean burger on Iowa Girl Eats, I knew I had to try it. After my complete bean burger failure last year, I was a bit scared. But, Ryan and I love black beans, so I figured it was worth a try.It helped that I had everything on-hand. (Love it when that happens.)
The verdict? Yummy!...
