Back to life!


I would make some erroneous promise to blog more often here... but as you can see I'd fail myself.  It's Okay thought. Life is good, different, and kind of crazy, but good.
My photo above basically describes how much life has changed for me. We went out to happy hour with friends, and I ordered a roll with avocado, and tofu. Ick. Seriously who am I? I'm a Celiac. That's my new life. I like it, but what I wouldn't do to dive into a baguette with a huge chunk of Blue Cheese right now (and yes, most Blue Cheese is not Gluten Free).



I wear my Med-alert bracelets with pride, and I try, to explain it all, to everyone who inquires, and most unsuspecting waiters at restaurants.

I've been writing (mostly in my head) a blog post about this whole thing, but I haven't yet had the bravery to finish, or click "publish" so hang tight for that.

We've been spending some time this spring enjoying family, and the sun! Oh lovely sun! Where have you been?

Just a few weeks ago we were blessed to have some time with Gene & Christina's ENTIRE Family!
It's rare for them to all be in one place at the same time, it was wonderful to see everyone together.

So, naturally we took a few photos to document this occasion... the occasion? Lucas' 2nd birthday!
Gene's "Girls" - Christina, Cara, Demitra & Casey

And... the "Boys" - Gene, Lucas & Jens

All Together Now...

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
