How to Brighten Up a Friday!

What's a girl to do when the babies are driving her crazy on a Friday and she's in the middle of an existential crisis? Go shopping of course, then out to lunch with her brother and a good friend!

I couldn't help myself today when I found this bright turquoise chair at a local store and the star strainer was just what I needed to brighten up another gray skied day.

A Year End Photo Review

I have been catching up on the blogs that I follow and I see so many end of the year round ups.

I will let the pictures do most of the talking, but here is a little recap of where we started and where we are now! The journey to finding our home was a bit of a surprise and definitely a whirlwind of the best kind.
