Our Living Lamp


This is our new Gigantic Salt lamp in our living room. We have one in our bedroom and we really enjoy its effects.

Sixth Folder, Sixth Photo

I was tagged by Lael for this "Sixth Folder, Sixth Photo." I am late on getting this posted, but here it is. I encourage all visitors to post the sixth photo from their sixth folder onto their blog.


This was taken in March of 2007 from the porch of our apartment. It was a great snowstorm that left about 13 inches of super wet snow on everything. The kiss of the snow queen was dazzling. My boyfriend and I went out the morning after the storm to rent some movies and get proper ingredients for our "snowstorm survival kit"; which included everything for chocolate chip cookies, hot chocolate, and vodka. It took us 45 minutes to dig out the car and remove the sheet of ice sealing the car shut. We were laughing until we cried and could barely stay standing because of the slippery wet ice under the slippery wet snow. I haven't seen a more beautiful snow storm since. What great memories! Thanks, Lael, this post was a great idea!

Save me from my winter blues, oh sprigs of green joy






Spring is almost here. The temperature is reaching a high of 60 degrees today with a slight breeze. It is supposed to be cold tonight with rain and sleet; fickle Nebraska weather. Bulbs my sister and I planted last year behind our sun room are starting to peek out of the soil. I'm not sure what we planted where and I don't know what things look like when they start coming up. We planted crocus, daffodils, tulips, baby iris, hyacinth, and allium(SP?). IF you know what something may be, take a shot at it, I'd sure like to know what some of these are. I guess not documenting what we planted where is a series of spring surprises. Will take more photos as things progress...

Cukoo Cukoo for Seeds and Our Garden

We bought a house last September and have been planning our garden ever since. We have done a little research, but the race is on now. I think the neighbors may have jumped when I squealed at the sight of my Seed Savers Catologue inside the mailbox. The dear Catalogue was waiting so patiently in the dark metal box. I snatched it up, thrust it into the air, and shouted "It's Here, It's Here!" My man grabbed it from my hands and began thumbing through it. We both had to wipe the drool from our mouths. We are so excited to be out of container gardening of only peppers and tomatoes and onto bigger things like... Potatoes, Zuchinni, Broccolli, Kale, Beans, Carrots, Watermelons, the list goes on forever. Our minds race together like wild horses with the wind in our hair. What are we going to plant? Who cares! It will be beautiful, messy, awesomely rad, and a totally new adventure we can go on together with our one-year old son. THIS IS IT FOLKS. The beginning of OUR GARDEN! It's in our blood, our bones, our skin, we will garden, and we will be the really strange neighbors that constantly parade around the neighborhood with free produce and smiles aplenty. YAY!

The Pomegranate Phone





Technology is fascinating and a little goofy.

Flowers brought to us on Heart Day


Valentine's Day

Our Valentine's Day consisted of caring for our sick child and spending time watching movies and trading our son back and forth. I swear we took turns holding him for almost a week. He is getting better. RSV is a horrible virus. Watching a father care for his child makes your love for him grow deeper. The roots of love in our family run strong.

My son's newest toy


We have now have four turtables in the house.
Fisher Price Record Player from 1978. Works great and sounds even better.

34 miles!

I turned 25 last November. I had a revelation. I need to start exercising regularly. Why not. I am overweight and am troubled by recent photos from my son's first birthday party. I also have an entire wardrobe that I haven't worn in 2 years. It's time. So, since January 21st I have walked 34 miles. I also have added a 15-20 minute daily yoga routine following my 2 mile walking workout. I am feeling better, and losing a few pounds in the process. I am almost to my pre-baby weight! I am sleeping soundly at night and the winter blues are not so bad with a few endorphins thrown in the mix!
