The Playroom

by Jessica 24 January 2013 Home Design

We’ve been in our new home for six months and in that time, we’ve managed to paint the kids’ bedrooms, decorate their rooms, and paint and decorate the kids’ play space. It wasn’t a fast process. First, the painting had to happen. For the playroom and Levi’s small bedroom, I hired a local high school [...]

Ice skating

by Jessica 17 January 2013 Annabelle

I really wish it would snow. Not that I want there to be accidents or long commutes. I don’t. I just want to get outside and play in the snow with my kids. I want to go sledding, build a snowman (or woman or kid), have a snowball fight with Matt. I want to get [...]

by Jessica 9 January 2013 A Year of Choice

New years’ day was wonderful. All of us were recovering from a cold and flu of some sort but we managed to make it outside to Legacy Park. I followed all of you around with my camera and my new lens, which was a replacement for the one that I broke while we were in [...]

Sofa Remorse

by Jessica 5 December 2012 Home Design

First Halloween in Brambleton

by Jessica 1 December 2012 Annabelle

As promised, I wanted to post a few photos from our Halloween. This year the kids asked to dress up like their favorite Lazy Town characters Sportacus and Stephanie.

Our House Fall 2012

by Jessica 29 October 2012 Home Design
