  • When Your Kid Has a Bad Dream

    “I had a bad dream!” We hear our four year old utter this sentence at least three to four times a week in our house. Probably more. Usually, it’s a ploy to come sleep in mom and dad’s bed. I know this because he’ll yell it literally 3 minutes after bedtime, when there’s no earthly…

  • Rose Drawing from Valentines Flowers

    This lovely bouquet was courtesy of the folks at The Bouqs. All opinions are my own. I told you I’ve been working on a sketchbook challenge this year. So far, I’ve been drawing whatever comes to mind as I sit on the couch unwinding at the end of the day. Lots of paisley patterns pour…

  • Hand Drawn Lettering and Inspiration for Moms – Words to Live By

    I’m fully aware how ironic it is that I’m writing about this as my morning in the office hits record levels of chaos, but I still wanted to share this hand drawn lettering with you. I shared this with my friend Melissa from church, a fellow boy mom with her hands full, on a Sunday…

    So I’ve been playing with animated gifs, and figuring em out in Photoshop… and OMG guys I can’t wait for Friday morning’s blog post. In the meantime, enjoy Joy and Phil playing!

  • Four Years as a Self Employed Designer

    Today is pretty dang special to me. December 1 is my self employed anniversary; I’m overjoyed to share I’ve been running this business full time, and our bills have been paid, for four solid years. Four years. It still feels so fresh – coming off of maternity leave with Phil, going in to the office…

  • Thanksgiving Coloring Page – What I’m Thankful For

    I am a member of the Everywhere Society and they provided me with this product for review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. There’s so much to be thankful for this year, guys. So much. I mean, I thought I had things to be happy about a couple of years ago. Back then,…

  • Why I’m Against Working the Night Shift

    I saw a couple of colleagues post a link to this article on Fast Company this morning. It talks about how those of us that work from home struggle to stay productive when we share the office with our small children. The answer given in the article is working the night shift. When the kids…

  • Perfect Timing.

    Josh and I have been in a marriage small group hosted by our buddies the Burkhalters for the last chunk of weeks, and it’s been a pretty fun way to spend a Thursday evening. Every week, they’ve had one of the couples in the group share the story of how they got together. I love…
