We bought a new car on Saturday! This 2013 Nissan Rogue is now happily parked in our garage and is the most fun toy we've ever purchased. Needless to say, it was a great weekend!
I've finally taken photos of the baby's room to share with you. And while I sometimes feel like this room will never be "done" (whatever that even means), I decided that it's time to just show it as it is - a work in progress for a little one soon to arrive. (click on the photos to see them larger if you like) I made the flag banner by hand, as well as the painted artwork hanging on the wall. On the shelf is a green piggy bank from grandma, a piece of art that I made, and some vintage blocks. I had the photo frames already thrifted and repainted. I made these fabric hangings just by stretching vintage inspired fabrics that I love over embroidery hoops. Just to add some color to the side of the room with the closet. This is probably my favorite part of the room. There is no overhead lighting in our house so I put together a group of Chinese lanterns and we hung them from the ceiling. The large white one actually lights and is connected to the light switch on a dim...
If I'm telling the truth, it's that I kind of forgot I had a blog. It came up in conversation today with a dear friend of mine and I was like oh man, it's been a very long time since I even pulled up my own blog. So in good Meg fashion, here's my 2018 "It's been a long time" post. Julian is 6 and loving first grade. He's reading at a third grade level and thriving in school with a wonderful teacher this year. He has this toothless grin that is one of my favorite things. Ever. He loves to talk about the Titanic and he loves to sit and draw pictures all day long. He's such a happy, snuggly boy and loves all things science, dinosaurs, and legos. Alice is about to turn 4 in a couple of weeks. She is so much sweet and so much sass and so much fun. She has been home with me this year and we've had a lot of fun just the two of us while Julian goes to school. She's done a little bit of ballet and gymnastics this year and...
Dropping in to post a photo of my babes in green. <3 2016 has been really intense for us but it looks like we are turning the corner to brighter days. In the past month, Alice has had a virus that came with the scariest whole-body rash I've ever seen in my life. Seriously something like out of a horror film. That was scary and took some wading through to be sure it was only a virus (it was). Then, last Monday, Alice had a toy in her mouth pretending to trumpet with it when she tripped on her feet and fell face first landing right on the toy in her mouth. Queue her first visit to the ER. After an IV with lots of pain meds, they did a CT Scan on her to check for vessel damage and to check her palette for damage. Thankfully there was no damage to either so we avoided surgery. However the giant gouge in her mouth is still there and healing slowly. 10 days later it no longer makes me queasy to look at it. (So, so gross). Convincing an almost 2 year old to only eat soft foods for...
