These last 8 months have flown by. In the moment, it felt like it would never pass. I thought the newborn stage was never ending. When you’re in the middle of it, it sure feels never ending. But now at 8 months I can safely say that I miss that newborn stage. At the time all I wanted was a …

7 Months Old
It’s been 7 months since James came into our lives and turned everything upside down (I should say right side up). Now that he’s 7 months old he’s more active and mobile and always wants to be on the go, life has gotten quite hectic. A good hectic. Sure there are days where I’m sure I’ve given birth to the …
Update on 2016 Goals

WIP Wednesdays
I skipped last weeks WIP Wednesdays, not because I didn’t have any projects on the go, but because I was having troubles with my computer.

But all joking aside, there are certain things I do to stay productive during the day so I can get things done whether it be around the house or in my shop or on the blog. Some …
