Day 27: My Town

My family lives in Cedar Falls. It is a pretty great little town.  And this is one of my favorite places - Main Street - where I love to walk, shop, and eat!

Day 26: Green

My husband's favorite boy toy - his boat.  It's the ugliest green ever... but it's very special to him because it was his grandpa's.  And, he's currently working on refinishing it, so it'll look amazing soon enough!

Day 25:  Food

I love to food.  I love to eat.  So for today's challenge, I thought I could share one of my absolute favorite things to eat (right now).
Greek Nachos.  So. Good!

Day 20: Flowers

This very sad looking sun flower is in our garden.  Hannah insisted we needed to bring it home and take care of it when we saw it at the store earlier this week.  She has been caring for it every day, watering it, and even praying for it.  She really loves this little flower - hopefully it will continue to grow.

Day 18: Blue

Nothing seems to be more blue these days than the sky.  Every day we pray for rain, however, all we see are these little tiny clouds.

Day 11: Work

Being a stay at home mom is a job in itself, but I also have my own Etsy shop {Hannah Mia} that I love!  This my tiny little craft room where I can relax and create.

Day 10: Something I cannot live without

There are so many things I feel like I cannot live without - my family, my friends, my bible, chap stick, my computer... but really there is one thing that I would miss most.  All my hugs from Mia.  She loves to give hugs and I look forward to them everyday.

Day 9:  Fun

It's always fun when we're together as a family  But we had a ton of fun when we took out the canoe.  The girls have a wonderful time looking for fish as we glide slowly across the water.



And bonus fun for me when I got to kayak for the first time  :)

Day 5: Color

One of Hannah's favorite things in the world is color sample cards.  No matter where we go, if they sell paint, that is the first thing she asks to see.  Always picking out a handful of her favorite colors -keeping them safe in one of her daddy's old wallets in her little purse.

Day 4: Independence

Today is Independence Day, or as most people call it, the 4th of July.  Today we celebrate our freedom that we are so thankful for.  On this day we wear our stars and stripes; our bright red, white and blue!

Day 3: A Work in Progress

Hannah is an amazing little girl - she has a wonderful personality that makes it so easy for everyone she meets to instantly fall in love with her.   I believe that God has created her little hands to do amazing things for Him during her life.  She is God's little work in progress.


"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."   - Jeremiah 29:11

Day 2:  Hot

When I saw todays challenge, only one thing came to mind - the word hot pretty much defines the summer thus far.  On hot summer nights, there is one thing Dan and I enjoy most:  sitting outside, drinking an ice cold beer and making s'mores.

Project 365: July 1, 2012

This month, I have decided to do something just a little bit different with my daily pictures.  Every day will be a different theme - hopefully I will be able to keep up with the challenge. 

Day 1 - Self Portrait

I am not the most comfortable person in front of the camera.  Quite honestly, it makes me a little nervous and love the excuse of having two beautiful little girls to constantly photograph.  So today was a little bit difficult for me.  But this is me - relaxing in the back yard while the children play.


Project 365 - June 30, 2012

Tonight we went to a surprise birthday party for a friend of ours.  The girls were extra excited because they have horses.
 Mia wasn't quite sure what to think of them...
 But Hannah sure loved them!  I think she is anxious for another visit.
 And a bonus picture just because it makes me smile....

Project 365 - June 29, 2012

After a long week, the kids are very tired, so we decided to take it easy this Friday night and made ice cream!  Not just any ice cream, Soy Strawberry Ice Cream (and we made it sugar free).
All the kids helped mixed the ingredients together...


 By the time we ate our dinner and everyone had a bath, it was ready to enjoy.  So Yummy!!
