Precious Moments…

You remember those right?  The porcelain dolls that were collected back in the 80′s/early 90′s?…  Today I witnessed precious moments right before my eyes.

My grandma (Ashlyn’s great-grandma) showing & teaching her how to knit.  Not sure how much Ashlyn retained from the lesson, but it literally brought tears to my eyes.  I have always been close w/ my grandma, and I have great memories of her always doing crafts, sewing, and other projects together while growing up.  I spent a lot of time w/ her and my grandpa at their house, and she always had a plastic tub of crafting goodies for me to do when I was there.

Love you, Grandma Fofo!

Pinning Images to Pinterest

I found this plugin (for wordpress) and thought I would share…  It allows you to pin an image directly from your photo while hovering over it.  When you hover over an image, a “Pin It” button appears in the right hand corner of that specific image.. See!

Now it’s super easy to pin images from my personal blog, as well as my photography business website.. Let me know if you have favorite plugins to make your blogging life more simple:)

More Snow Fun…

This was from a snowfall we had New Year’s Eve weekend.. Erik & I were just getting over the flu, and it was great to get out into the fresh air w/ the kids to play.  Biggest sister decided to stay inside the warm house that day..

Rowen’s first time playing in the snow.. He loved it!


If there’s snowflakes falling, she’ll be catching them w/ her tongue!


Who says you can’t get year-round use out of your swing-set?  We do!


Mommy had to get in on the sledding fun too..

Ten on Tuesday

1. Have you seen the show “I Want That” on the diynetwork? It features new products from electronics, to grills, to handyman tools & supplies. Definitely a show that makes you think, “why didn’t I think of that?”

2.  This room’s description says it is “beautiful clutter”… My brain’s description says Eeeeeek!

.  I love fonts.  And there are lots of them on my computer.  Lots.  So many that often times when I’m trying to find ones that I have recently downloaded, I’m not able to.  Not anymore!  Wordmark.it is incredible!  It allows you to see all of the fonts on your computer, and even lets you type in the text you want to see.
4.  W/ Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, I thought I would share one of my absolute favorite marriage Bible studies.. Love & Respect is amazing.  We’ve been to a 2-day conference a couple of years ago, and I haven’t read their books, but if it’s similar to the material we learned, you’ll love it too.

5.  ”You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge” -Dr. Phil  One of my favorite quotes!

6.  How have I never owned an electric exfoliator?!  It’s really a “where have you been all my life?” kinda product.  I’m in love.

7.  Aside from the icky roads it creates, gotta admit, watching big, fluffy snowflakes fall out the windows of your home is pretty darn awesome to see.8.  Little guy was beat after being gone from about 8am until 1pm last week;

9.  We got snow flurries all last week… I loved it!  All except for the first day, the roads seemed fairly clear, so it was the best of a winter snow & safe travels for people;

10.  Never happened w/ our oldest, should be obvious that it would happen w/ our second child.  She cut her hair.  Thankfully, only  a teeny bit that isn’t completely noticeable.  However, I’ll have to take some blame.  Ashlyn is obsessed w/ growing her hair long, just like Rupunzle, so I have to convince her when it’s time for a short trim.  Her reply when asked WHY she cut her hair?  ”Because I just want it to grow”… o_O  Yep, my exact words for telling her we have to keep her hair healthy w/ trims so it will grow..  Oye.
