    Dena September 13, 2022

    Hey friends! I finally got around to sorting my photos from the twin’s 1st Birthday Ice Cream Party. We had the party back in July and it was a lot of fun. Our families came to celebrate Jonah and Jordan with a pool party and a visit from our favorite local ice cream truck. It was hot and a bit of work setting up, but it was all worth it.…

  • Spooky Season Preparations

    Dena August 28, 2022

    I know that it’s only late August but I can’t help myself. One month is simply not enough time to celebrate my favorite season. Late August through November is a much more reasonable time frame, if you ask me. 😉 I can’t get enough of it all. Tucking into sweaters made of the softest wool. Sipping warm drinks from the most beautiful ceramic mugs. The sweet smell of leaves saying…

    Dena August 17, 2022

    Here we are, a year later. Like most people who meet them, I am obsessed with their cheeks–soft and full and perfect. I cannot count how many times I have kissed those little cheeks, at least 30 times a day, every day, if I had to guess. I simply cannot get enough of them. They tolerate my affections, one more so than the other. One has a calmer disposition and…
