Part 2 The Breaking Point It all came crashing down on an unsuspecting Thursday. Lucas had stayed up far too late the night before, tossing and turning in his crib, exhausted and too over- stimulated to sleep. Then he woke up too early (6am). Sleep begets sleep. But I was still in a good mood […]

Halloween 2016
October is my birthday month, and this year the family came down for a day of pumkins, football, and food. Here are a few photos from our day. LUKE! My ever- goofy daddy! I don’t know why, but I LOVE this photo. It slays me. We love Spooner Farms! These wild ones wanted to do […]
Newborn photoshoot featuring Holden Brave!
We have waited the arrival of this sweet boy for months on end. His mama is my dear cousin, Tawny (travel writer, blogger, shopping partner) and she and her husband, Christopher welcomed this little nugget into the world six weeks ago. Since “four-week-old photoshoot” doesn’t have the same ring to it as “newborn” we are […]
Fourth Of July 2016
What a successful 4th of July! We hosted a small get together at our place. Nice and mellow. We grilled hot dogs, ate apple pie, and drank home-made beer. Pretty dang American. Pretty sure I was told that if I ever posted these really cute pictures of my cousin eating that […]
Happy Birthday Poppi!
I spent the day in Ferndale with Dad, Mom, and Luke to celebrate Dad’s birthday. I started with a visit to Luke’s work, Van Heusen, to do a hint of shopping. Isn’t he so handsome?! Dad wanted to try this new restaurant in Fairhaven called övn. They do wood fired pizza, salads, and small plates. […]
Mother’s Day Brunch
It was a lovely day here at the Taylor Homestead. We had my parents and brother over, and for the very first time, Grandma Myrna and Aunt Cynthia. Food is my love language. What better way celebrate a few of the mothers in our life. Mom’s famous egg dish. When she asked if I’d like […]
Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge
This was a GREAT day. Play to Learn was canceled so some of the parents organized a walk through Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, and they were sweet enough to invite Rosie and I along. It was a scorcher. This is the “before”. You will see at the end of the post why this is pertinent and […]
Bravely Facing Corned Beef (and all the fixins)
When it comes to cooking, I feel fairly confident. Whether it’s a steak and potatoes kind of a night, or a spicy curry dish, I know my way around a kitchen. However, I have a confession: I may have a slight phobia of large cuts of meat. So here I am (after a phone call […]
Baby Shower Bliss
My beautiful, talented, sweet cousin Tawny is having a baby boy. Here is a glimpse into her special day!
Rosie Turns One!
This little nugget turned one! Being her nanny has been such an honor and often the highlight of my week. Her parents threw her the sweetest Seahawks themed party. This girl is so loved! Miss Katie in the kitchen whipping up fresh cream. Here’s the birthday girl! Had to have the game on. SheeLa and […]
