deadheading 101

I didn't know what "deadheading" really was until a few days ago. Some girlfriends came over and started "deadheading" a bush in our front yard. When I asked what they were doing they went a little loco on me. You know... all about 'the process of getting rid of the dead to encourage new growth'. That sort of thing. It was a little embarrassing. Regardless, the second the ladies left I parked my butt in front of the bush and deadheaded the dead out of it. Then I texted the following photos to one aforementioned friend. Awesome right? She has since threatened to do all sorts of things with one of the photos. I thought I'd beat her to the punch. Sucka.

Foxy - It's hurtin' you a little that you don't have a cell phone right? You so know these would've been comin' your way.

"It is better to play than do nothing." -Confucius

Or in my world;

"It is better to play than unload the dishwasher, make beds, fold little people clothing, scrub floors, clean out the fridge, weed, deadhead..."

film roll: a look into vb's morning

1. "Look Mom, I'm Mary!"

2. Her favorite chore... using a lint roller to collect hair off the floor. So gross... so brilliant.

3. We heart Usborne books. (Order from Usborne's cutest pusher. We do.)

Just sayin'

Some days I feel like my photos should come with a warning. You know, something along the lines of;

"Subjects in photo aren't always as lovely as they may appear."

Yah, that'd work. 

Dang they're cute though.

more love from yesterday

I just couldn't resist.

a monday mug shot

2pm & still not dressed - BUSTED!

too sweet indeed

uncle b's in the house

That's Brad Trotman to you. 

Yes, Uncle B is staying with us this weekend and let me tell you, he's become a fast favorite with the girls. Just this afternoon him and Vida Blue quietly disappeared together. We discovered them parked next to the downstair's freezer breakin' into a gallon of 'chocoholic'. 

Fast favorite no doubt.

Jamie & Elle - Wish you were here takin' in all this love. (xoxo)

one thing's for certain...

I agree with Miss Hepburn.

from one mama to another

Hey Ash!

Mac and Don's iced coffee with a splash of vanilla does a mama good. And all for a dollar. 

Pass it on. 

How's this for a confession?

Some mornings we watch this & dance around like we're tough. 

Cracks us up... every time.

shiny happy kids

This would be the girls inhaling their aunt's famous mac n' cheese. I must confess, it's more than a staple around here. Hard to say why. 

Try it. Trust us. 

saturday blues cure-all

1. Drive aimlessly until you reach the ocean. 
2. Order up ice cream when you should be ordering up dinner. 
3. Roll down hills with abandon.

Yes, I left a little piece of my heart in White Rock tonight. I think we all did. It was that good. 

on repeat over here

My favorite song, for today anyway.

Download the album Carm, if you haven't already. (xo)

"pizza & soccer in the park!"

That was B's "secret surprise" for Miss Blue. Let me tell ya, it was divine. So divine in fact, we're makin' it a weekly occurrence around here. You're invited. 

a look around

q: happy hour in our house?

a: Craft time with dad.

love. love.

LOVE reuniting with my peeps. LOVE this song.

our girl of few words

Tonight this sweet lookin' kid pointed at her hiney and said "Pooooo"... all long and drawn-out like. This would be the third word to escape her lips if you're the type to include 'ma' and 'da'. The mister and I? We are the type.

So 'happy third word' to you kiddo. Potty talk aside, we think you're all that. And more.

yesterday,

all my troubles seemed so far away...
