Enjoying…
Coffee in the Woods
If pina coladas are best sipped on beaches and hot mulled cider is to be enjoyed fireside in the fall, then I’ve decided a proper place for morning coffee is in the woods.
I don’t really know if there’s a place that wouldn’t be good for coffee, but I do know an impromptu traipse into the woods with my friend and our girls yesterday morning was an invigorating way to start the day.
A muffin and O.J. outdoor breakfast…
…followed by more egg art.
…and pretend fishin’.
Teething/Sleeping
Several of you have asked about the amber teething necklace. So I admit this might completely be the placebo effect, but Nella seems to be doing a lot less biting her fingers while crying.
…and the sleep is improving too. After rocking and walking for a half hour one afternoon last week, attempting to get her to sleep, I realized she was so frustrated nothing was helping. I did what I never thought I’d do–I kissed her, put her in her crib and let her work it out.
Turns out, that’s what she wanted. She cried for a very short time and ever since, naps are easy. A short rock followed by a kiss, a crib, a brief cry just to let us know she still thinks she’s in charge, and then she’s out.
Heart Hair.
It kind of happened by accident, but now it’s her favorite. “Do a heart in my hair,” she says. All she needs is a teenage boy with bad skin to give her a corsage, compliment her peach taffeta tea length gown, and off to prom she goes.
We’ll be busy this weekend and are looking forward to the holiday, but I wanted to launch a new sponsor I’m really excited about. If you don’t have your own kid to buy for, find a baby shower, a coworker’s kid, a niece or nephew you love. Mountain Aven Baby’s funky prints and unique styles make for great conversation pieces and really cute tots.

I love the variety of crazy fun fabric prints (check out the sushi bib or bird cage skirt) and finding another great store to add to my favorites. Use code SMALLTHINGS for 15% off your order!
Tell me three things you’re enjoying right now, and one comment will be randomly selected to win a $25 Mountain Aven Baby gift certificate.
There is a man sweating in a cheap Easter Bunny costume not far away, and we have a date to wave from a safe distance and pray he doesn’t come near us. So if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be on my way.
Happy whatever-it-is-you-celebrate this weekend!
Good morning! New post. Have a great weekend.
Cute heart hair!
I love Cafe Verona, tiny baby sleepers (my first is due June 13th) and crisp spring mornings.
sweet girls.
I love the hair – soooo cute!
Happiness is: a singing child on the back of your bike…finding PINK SAND for a delighted little girl’s sandbox…and the suck suck suck of my toddler, lulling herself to sleep with the help of her wee thumb.
Three things I’m Loving Right Now!
-Having my happy baby back after she had 8 molars come in at the same time (didn’t even know that was possible).
-Sunshine finally coming out in Calgary
-Family day taking my daughter on her first ever easter egg hunt!
three things im enjoying right now… *egg art with my bes friend (yup, even as adults) *a quiet cup of morning coffee watching the birds on the bird feeders before everyone else wakes up *a peaceful sleeping baby face
love your blog so much! -Aubrey
My littlest has decided to sleep easier after she hollers for a few minutes in her crib as well. Such big girls our toddlers are becoming.
I’m enjoying the sun shining in my windows after almost a week of solid rain and grey skies.
I’m enjoying seeing 4 dozen cartons of eggs every time I open the fridge door. Eggs waiting to be hard boiled, dyed, deviled, and scrambled.
Last, I’m enjoying my new Etsy addiction, courtesy of you!
Happy Easter!
1. A lazy Saturday morning – coffee, boys wrapped in blankets on the couch, no hustle or bustle – ahhh…
2. Midwest weather – the thundershowery evenings that turn into blue-skied warm days. The grass always looks so green!
3. Looking forward to enjoying a fun-filled Easter day – a mix of all the right stuff – Easter Bunny treasures, Church, and family dinner.
Today I’m having my coffee on the front porch swing – we have no woods – but something about drinking it outdoors does make it taste better.
Three things I’m enjoying RIGHT NOW?
1. My girl is wearing her purple princess dress watching Enchanted (we’re on a major princess kick)
2. My husband called and said work-day on a house he’s flipping isn’t happening and he’s headed home.
3. Looking forward to a mani-pedi this afternoon with a dear girlfriend.
Saturdays rock!
My 3: family, finally we have nice sunny weather and baby eating blueberries
I love hearing my littlest speak new words. I love that my kids smile as soon as I get the camera out. I love the sprouting of new life in my flower beds!
Have a great Easter!
1) Looking out my front window at all the funky garage sale finds in my neighbors front yard.
2).The every morning playtime of my lovin’ pups, who I know in his next life Fred will be a Space Cowboy.
3).Muted tv’s stuck on random cartoons and my playlist with a cup o joe.
I am enjoying three wonderful things right now – being centered by your words of wisdom, awaiting the arrival of my first baby, a girl, who is fashionably late, and my wonderful husband whom I love too much. This is the first time I have commented on your blog, but I find inspiration from your view on life and visit often – thank you and have a lovely weekend!
Enjoying right now: a hot mocha, a lazy, slow start morning and putting all the goodies in their Easter baskets. 😉
I am enjoying your blog, morning coffee, my sweet girl’s smile, and the opportunity to photograph lots of littles today…sorry couldn’t stop at 3.
Family, Friends, and fresh flowers.
Right now I am enjoying baby kicks in my belly, lazy Saturday’s after a very busy Friday (cutting the yard, hanging chandeliers, digging trenches, and spending much needed quality time with people I don’t get to see nearly enough.
1) The way my baby girl yelled at her daddy because last night he may have closed the door on the “Kiester Bunny.”
2.) Knowing summer is soooo near. Being a teacher, there is nothing better!
3.) Easter dresses little boy ties all ready for tomorrow morning!!
We are in teething pain over here too. So.not.fun.
Three things I love right now:
– Just sent off my husband, father-in-law, and friend to ride with the Patriot Guard Riders for a military funeral in our small Iowa town this morning. PGRs are amazing.
– knowing today will be a good day because I can hear the birds singing loudly
– the smell of an Easter lily next to me that reminds me of this season of hope.
Three things I’m enjoying right now:
– Peace & Quiet. Hubby and my daughter are still sleeping and it’s 9 a.m! My son is curled up on the couch watching cartoons… so peaceful!
– A cup of tea and a hot bowl of banana nut oatmeal (yum!)
– That Easter morning is right around the corner! The kids will be so excited! 🙂
p.s. I will be trying the Heart Hair with my daughter… she’ll LOVE it! 🙂
Beautiful pics, as always

1) Peeps – I’m trying to lose baby weight, but 120 of my daily caloric intake is allotted to peeps….until they are all gone out of my house. I would NEVER throw out peeps, so I have to eat them…all.
2)Knowing that after having to go back to work this past week after my maternity leave ended, I only have 5 weeks til summer vacation and being with my girl all day again.
3)Adele’s newest CD – AWESOME.
1. corn bread crackers
2. weatherman forecasting sunny days
3. planning a trip to Australia
Right now I’m enjoying my second cup of coffee, open windows with a nice breeze and birds chirping away in the backyard. A beautiful, calm way to start the day…
Your girls are beautiful and I really enjoy reading your blog. Happy Easter to you and your family!
I am enjoying… The tiny fist my baby makes while he nurses, the sports-ball themed easter eggs I found for our toddler, and my husband’s soft lips. 😉
Right now I’m loving:
1. Enough rain to have washed the pollen away so we can enjoy the weekend.
2. The first minutes of the morning when my sweet pup crawls up in bed to say “good morning.”
3. Tervis tumblers filled with sweet tea to last through an entire corn hole game!
It took me that long to get to the end of the post… waking baby full of smiles and coos before he even opens his eyes (1) was a welcome interruption.
(2) the rough plans we have today for an outdoor egg hunt (weather permitting) and brunch at a new restaurant in town that i’ve been dying to try. (3) the holiday weekend and the unveiling of a new easter basket for my littlest. He’s too small to participate this year, but he’ll have a lovely, personalized basket just like his brother that will appear once a year until he is too old to believe. Here’s to believing much longer than is socially accepted!!!
Coffee
Quiet
and piece before the storm of all the Easter activities that will leave my kids without naps and cranky for two days.
What I’m enjoying right now….a lazy PJ Saturday…my oldest in her makeshift living room tent playing…my three year old clanking around the kitchen in her princess heels. Looking forward to the Easter fun that is about to begin!
Amber necklaces all the way here, we had such an easy teething journey in comparison to some. 3 things…sunny days in England (so rare)…going out in our caravan…and a boy who can ride his bike all on his own (sweet)
Coffee in the woods sounds *divine!* And that skirt that Lainey is wearing from Mountain Aven Baby is AWESOME. Off to check them out now…
3 things I’m enjoying *right* now are:
1. Listening to Samantha play school with her dolls in her room, through the baby monitor
2. Cooling off some hard-boiled eggs and anticipating dying them for the very first time with my girl today
3. Remembering the delicious pumpkin pancakes she helped me make this morning for breakfast.
Even with the rain and the chill in the air, I suspect it’s going to be a perfect day.
Coffee anywhere these days is a good thing! 😉 Love Lainey sporting the rain boots – too cute!
I’m enjoying my favorite cup of peppermint mocha coffee that I’ve grown quite fond of the past year or so – makes me comfy & happy every morning. . . & watching how quickly my 3 yr old grows into a fabulous human being in front of my very own eyes . . . & I get to call her my own . . . while catching a glance every now & then over at the humming birds sneaking their morning drink at the feeders! Life is GOOD!!
Happy easter! Love the vacation, love to go to our cottage to relax, and finnaly: LOVE that spring is here! Wish you a great weekend!
I am loving my coffee right now. So much so, I think I’ll have another.
I love the heart hair and will attempt it on my daughter for her dance class this morning.
I LOVE that after a week of rain , the sun has decided to peek out from behind the clouds.
Such cute “heart” hair!
Enjoying:
Morning joe! With a bonus of all 3 of my children sleeping in! With the great aniticipation of getting to see them all wake up walking stumbly with eyes of excitement of the weekend ahead. Right on cue my youngest (2)is yelling “mommy where are you?” from his crib. xoxo Happy Easter!

Having a day where we can stay in our pajamas till lunch and just hang out inside on a rainy day.
My dog laying on my does to keep them nice and warm.
Today I enjoy… 1) This rainy April morning that emphasizes the lush grasses and spunky buds. 2) Getting up with my 6 month old at 6 am, while daddy is still asleep, for her to nurse while I enjoy my coffee. Her suckling pauses and she’ll look up at me to babble something and smile, suckling resumes. I like to think these are our private coffee mornings. 3) Anticipating a fun Easter weekend and planning on getting my husband a turtle (he so desperately wants one, lol) and hiding his tank etc. in an elaborate Easter Egg Hunt.
I’m enjoying my diet Coke, my oldest asking for Elmo and Dorothy in the morning, and my youngest crawling around with dad.
Happy Easter to you too!

Today I love my orange juice that pairs perfectly with strawberry rhubarb jam on toast, the fact that in 3 days I’ll be done with finals, and the brief times when my house doesn’t smell like skunk.
They are such beautiful girls!! Happy Easter to you!
Adorable! Three things: Listening to my 14 mos old son as he tries to get into the bathroom to see what his daddy is doing…. getting eggs ready for dyeing; and just finishing up wine slush for Easter celebration! Its a great Saturday morning.

colored fingers that last days after they have colored eggs,
and easter egg hunts!
Hmmm, I’m enjoying new quilt fabric, three day weekends to spend with my family and making scones with my kindergartner. Thanks for the chance to win!
Love the pictures of Bailey and Lainey, so sweet adn what a fantastic treasure for them as they get older.
Nella in those poka dot pants is so adorable! High five on the sleep victory. Getting into a good nap routine always was the first step for my kiddos on getting into a better sleep routine.
We have been using the amber neclace for a few months and it really seems to help, when he does not have it on I notice his hands live in his mouth and he is asking to nurse every 10 minutes!

Three things i’m enjoying right now:
1. That my son is old enough (15 months) to enjoy his first Easter egg hunt this year. So fun!
2. That even though my husband is on outreach in the villages of Papua New Guinea at the moment… he still has phone reception. Amazing!!
3. That although I miss my husband like crazy while he’s away… it does mean that I can watch Anne of Green Gables without so much as an eye roll or a chuckle in my direction! 😉
Happy Easter to you and your family! xx
i’m enjoying listening to my husband playing a silly computer game with our son, the last few quiet minutes before i launch into full out mommy mode, and listening to both of my girls wakeup good morning noises knowing that sleepy good morning hugs aren’t too far off =)
Cute new sponsor, I love their fabrics.
I’m enjoying
1. The advice of friends to help induce labor (3 days late and counting) and their “I know how you feel” sympathy. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one to go late.
2. Spring days at work where my one year old can run outside and play in the sandbox or go to the neighbors porch and play with their toys
3. The promise of eater, He is risen indeed, Halleluiah!

Three things I am enjoying:
~A lazy saturday morning still in bed
~The fact that tomorrow we are going to break our [inviting friends over for Easter] tradition and go out to dinner just as a family. Then maybe a few rounds of poker after.
~The fact that I was freezing as I fell asleep last night, and when I woke up this morning I was sweating. Gotta love DC weather!
I am enjoying…watching my son eat his Cookie Crisp cereal and discover the yummy chocolate milk it generates, taking inventory of the eggs we have decorated and dyed all week, listening to my husband play with my daughter.
This morning I’m enjoying a sleeping-in baby, a husband downstairs making coffee and listening to big band music.

Hi Kelle – this may sound very odd but I dreamt last night and you were in it!! I was in a mall…somewhere…anyway I noticed you there! VERY STRANGE and sorry if that makes me sound like a stalker. An atlantic separates us so think it’s OK! So enjoying right now: 1. day after day of freakishly gorgeous weather in England – the bunting is up in the garden and swaying in the breeze. 2. I have just been to the hairdresser and banished those greys and have reverted to my old brunette! I can hear my kids outside jumping in the sprinkler – which seems normal to many, but in APRIL? Really it’s a complete fluke – us Brits are weather obsessed and this is worth obsessing over! Love the sun when it graces us with it’s presence! Lou x
Right this very second I’m enjoying some quiet time while my baby sleeps, some juicy cantalope, and the satisfaction of sitting in the newly decorated playroom 🙂
I am enjoying adorably painted Easter eggs, all natural candle tarts & a new rug for my kitchen.
Lazy Saturdays, Spring Weather (flip flops!!!) & celebrating all that this Easter weekend represents ~ these are the things I am loving right now.
Love the party flag shirt!
Right now, I am enjoying the snuggles of my little one who just woke up, the cloudy morning outside and the fact that I get to watch my sweet girl go find eggs in just a bit. Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!

I am enjoying nursing my baby, smelling the flowers my sweet husband brought me, and reading your blog–as usual!
Right now I am enjoying my new lululemon pants and sweater that my sweet husband got me for my birthday, and some piece and quiet while my two girls nap and my little boy is out with Grandma!
The 3 things I’m enjoying are:
1. my morning craving for a cherry coke
2. my daughter in her dress up high heels
3. and I’m anticipating the look on my kids faces when they get their easter baskets tomorrow
Have a happy weekend!

3 things you’re enjoying right now:
Silence w/ a hint of birds.
We traded in our domestic violence neighbors and ghetto apartment surroundings for a beautiful home on the hill. So now instead of loud footsteps (that aren’t ours), I hear silence mixed with the sounds of birds singing every morning.

3. the idea that my son is giving me some much needed “me” time this morning..as he has decided to sleep in a good 20 more minutes than normal!
Have a great Easter and weekend with your family! I love your blog– your purity and genuine love for life shines through. Many blessings!

Yessssss, I’m enjoying.
I love coffee and a book in the early morning before my family wakes up. I love finding Buttercups in the spring and lastly I love Missoula’s farmer’s market. -Kelsie

1. A clear left lung
2. Decreased fluid from the right lung
3. Prayer
A service auction at church.
Baking and cleaning.
Church and picnic.
So glad to hear that Nella has settled into her nap time routine. She sure is growing fast and her personality just leaps out of those photos.
God bless and happy Easter.
After what seemed like an eternity of winter, I’m enjoing the open windows in my house. I’m also enjoying date nights with my children and getting back into a size 8 after 4 children being born in the last 7 years 🙂
Spring is great, life is bliss.
The things I’m enjoying most now are time outside with my daughter, spring flowers and our veggie garden growing, and renewing myself!
I love the heart in Lainey’s hair! I wish Hudson would sit still that long!
I’m enjoying my baby girl’s toothy grin, a pedicure (later today!), and celebrating the true meaning of Easter weekend!
I’m loving the sunshine and warm weather, loving Easter and all that it represents, and I’m loving the sweet, sweet baby growing in my belly!
1. preparing for our upcoming adoption!
2. Easter vacation with my family
3. Early mornings alone!
Checking my garden every morning for any signs of new growth, my newly-waxed eyebrows, and the excitement of letting my daughter look for her Easter basket tomorrow morning!
Seriously jealous of your coffee in the woods- its one of my favs- can’t wait for summer & camping season!! Right now I am loving my family, COFFEE, and my God on this blessed Easter weekend!
That heart hair, is GaGa worthy. Love it!
Right now I’m most enjoying cold mornings, drinking my “dirty chai”, and reading your blog. 🙂 Best way to start a day!

my morning with my 9mth old Tess, drinking my coffee and looking at your beautiful blog. love.
Happiness is chubby baby thighs, slobbery kisses, and big brothers who adore their baby brother.
http://lusklife.blogspot.com
You know, I think I might even like the woods if I had a nice cup of Joe! Coffee usually makes anything better! Darling pretend fishing and the heart hair is so cute!
Megan
I have been reading your blog for a few months at the suggestion of a friend. I must say, i love it! I live in Michigan and have learned you are from there as well. I think it is amazing how much you enjoy life and your family. Thanks for sharing your life with us!
I’m enjoying that after a yucky night of my baby girl retching, she slept 6 hours and seems hungry this morning.
Enjoying Easter baskets and all things sweet and spring-like.
Enjoying the thought of an upcoming breakfast.
Our daughter was the same way with her sleeping. We struggled and struggled with her waking up as soon as we laid her down… but as soon as we let her do just a little “working it out,” she started sleeping through the night again. Phew.
Right now I’m loving; coffee, Saturday Soccer and a rare PNW sunny day!
3 things
1) my aching sore dancer body… it tells me that I did something fantastic with it yesterday.
2) my 2 year old daughter who has decided she likes to spend her Saturday mornings curled up next to mommy and daddy
3) My husbands beard… it tickles my cheeks…
I’m enjoying coffee on a saturday morning (but i agree, there’s never a time/place NOT to enjoy coffee), the last few weeks of footie pj’s on my tiny tot and the gloomy weather to just stay inside with my little family! Happy Saturday!
At this moment I am still enjoying your comment about the prom an the heart hair! 🙂 but also enjoying lounging with my husband and kids on a rainy Saturday morning and my perfect cup of coffee.
Love the heart hair. Your blog is wonderful and I visit a lot.
I am enjoying swaddling a teeny little baby doll for my 18 month old daughter. She walks around with her swaddled baby hugging and burping it. So cute!
I am enjoying watching my 10 month old stand on his knees and question if he is brave enough to pull to stand.
I am enjoying cuddles with my boys in our pjs.
I am enjoying the fact that my head doesn’t feel heavy after too many pomtinis last night.
Love the heart hair… I’ll have to copy that one! 🙂 Enjoy your weekend and date with a scary bunny!
~Tabitha

Happy Easter. Happy Spring. Happy re-birth, and all the promising goodness that entails.
Much love,

I’m enjoying putting together a 50th anniversary photo cd with my son for my in-laws, arranging the Easter eggs my kids so carefully dyed last night, and keeping my pj’s on until after lunch today!

Happy Easter to your beautiful family Kelly, great post!

Three things I am enjoying
1) a completely washed out weekend, which led to a slower pace
2) anticipating the dying of eggs
3) the smell of coffee in my kitchen
We found the same with my little monkey at about 8 months old. She WANTED to put herself to sleep. I was a bit sad to not have that time.. but she is amazing, even now at 2 1/2 putting herself down. Once in awhile we still have that 30 second crying to let us know that she’s there.. but then she’s fine.
I am enjoying watching my little one run past with a bare bum (we’re in potty training stage), then stopping to “read” a book to me, all while I’m enjoying a chocolate almond milk cappuccino (my newest obsession!)
Im enjoying…
1. Picking up my husband at the bus station while my mom has the kids – and yes my feet left the ground as he hugged & kissed me.
2. Peeps. peeps. peeps & a cadbury egg or two.
3. gathering materials for the annual Easter Olympics – and giggling as I picture my Old Bald Uncle balancing his egg on the spoon
Breakfast in bed {thanks to my sweet husband}; feeling my sweet little boy roll around inside my belly {he’s my first}; knowing he will be here no later than may 11th {scheduled c-section}
happy easter 🙂
1) i love how in every book we read, my son looks for the W’s on each page, and points them out with glee!
2) i love when he says “up… peez!”
3) i love when my husband is thrilled with the dinner i chose to make.
Three things….hmmm, the international food aisle, sound of birds n the morning, and fresh bed sheets. I must say, I envy the woods coffee….very jeal.
My three favorite things:
Kisses and “Oh” hugs from my littlest in the morning, pajama days, my oldest asking big questions for a 5 yr old.
I love your blog. We adore looking at pics of the girls. Thanks for sharing your life with all of us.
That shot of coffee in the woods made me want both a cup-o-joe and some woods. It was inspiring.
3 things I’m enjoying…
1) Watching my dog play imaginary war games with his toys
2) The fact that Husband will be home from work today and we’ll get to spend actual amounts of time together (woot!)

A three day weekend with my husband who’s been working 12 hours a day the last 2 weeks.
That we’ve finally reached the stage in our house where we have a “girly” load of laundry. A load that is all bright pink and purple!
Here’s a list of my fav. things right at this moment:
1.The look on my Big girl’s face at the county fair on the merry go round. (she said “it was awesome!”)
2. The way my Bubbah boy got so excited to see the Cow’s and practice his “moooooooo”
3 My coffee and Ibuprofen this morning…
Oh and if the amber necklace is a placebo, I’m totally buyin’ it too. Otherwise my boy would be droolin’ a river right now!
I’m loving a warmer Chicago day after too much cold, Easter weekend, and cookie dough straight up. That’s how I roll.

3. Sean’s started “dancing” whenever he here’s music. His moves (or lack there of!) are cracking me up.

Kelle, I’m enjoying watching your little ladies grow up. Every post, I find myself smiling right back at Nella. Both of your girls are absolutely beautiful.
Watching it rain
Peeking in my girl’s room to see her undressing and dressing and undressing her baby dolls over and over.

Sunshine!! Perfect weather for the Bunny Bounce at the Zoo – the egg hunt we go to – last year it was freezing! So this is a nice change.
Writing my last paper for my master – I will be done tomorrow! Lots of celebrating to do this weekend.
Snuggling with my 1 month old – I can’t believe how fast our littles grow.
I will also get to enjoy Easter with my family this year which is rare.
Happy whatever to you too.
Right now I’m enjoying… A very sunny, lazy Saturday afternoon, the fact that I put dinner in the crock pot at 7am and now all I have to do is dish it up & watching my son run around in a t-shirt, his nappy and sandles.. No trousers for him!
Love this post.. Both of the girls look so grown up 🙂
This morning I am enjoying your blog, my new tea pot and a day off from work.
I was going to start cleaning but this pot inspired me to be still in the backyard with my coffee first. So in avfew minutes I will be enjoying the fresh air, the perfume of flowers and the morning bird songs.
Thank you.
Three things I am loving…
– All the talk in our house of planning another baby.
– The chaos and emotions of trying to blend our two families together (ok, not really the chaos and emotion… but just the thought of it ALL be over so we can spend our fair share of time with my husbands sweet son!!)
– Buying a $10 blow up pool at walmart and soaking with my two year old in the sun.
and what the heck… i need a 4th one too…
– EASTER!!!! Thanking God for the gift of His Son!!
Have a blessed weekend, Kelle!!
All your pictures of the woods makes me wish I had access to one so I can really enjoy my morning cup of coffee.
Three things that I’m enjoying right now:
1. Not the fact that he’s sick, but whatever has been keeping my youngest in a funk for the past two months has resulted in many impromptu play dates at midnight.
2. My oldest is proudly showing off his new cast to anyone who wishes to see it and proudly says that he chose yellow for his Ducky. Even though Ducky is no longer yellow and more of a dingy gray from the three years of love that he’s been given.
3. Rocking out to the Fresh Beat Band on a Saturday morning with a pan and wooden spoon with the boys while Daddy gets some much needed extra sleep.
My 18 month old DD just did the same thing Nella did with sleep – I never dreamed she’d be falling asleep all by herself. But that’s what she needed.
1. lovely fresh-smelling spring day
2. the excitement of packing to move to our first house
3. my bubbly giggling daughter 🙂
i love open windows, the smell of new carpet and the sleep lines on my baby’s face when he wakes from his nap.
loribunk@gmail.com

I”m enjoying your blog post! But also,
My new book, decorating for Easter breakfast, and packing for our two week vacation!
LOVE MAB…all the pictures above I have just about everything in some iteration of some kind. Just got the Russian doll dress for my daughter she LOVES it! And the lounge sets are great too!
Anyhow 3 things I am enjoying…
1 – play time this AM with my daughter while it rains outside
2 – preparing for time with family tomorrow
3 – seeing my son grow into a wonderful young man.
Right now I’m enjoying the sunshine, visiting with far away friends, and feeling my baby kick for the first time 🙂

three things i am enjoying:
coffee dates with my besties.

reading a good book before i go to sleep.
happy easter to you and your family!
Froot Loops for breakfast. Babies nap coming up soon because baby is grumpy! My 3 1/2 yr old keep asking when it will be Easter then giggling when I say tomorrow.
The sweating bunny-man, à fun thought! Poor thing 🙂
Lovely post as always. It’s the positive thinking that is key in this blog. I would have thought that everybody got that?!
I love it and of course recognise it too and know that some people dislike it. Their loss. Enough said on that sorry note.
Three things right now:
1. The new “thing” I changed into and the realization that hubby’s also enthusiastic. Guess you sure could say “high on life for sure”?!!
2. The heat à la Miami here, this Easter: love it!
3. Something as superficial as today’s shopping spree. It happens seldomly, maybe twice a year and today was one of Rhode occasions. Had forbidden myself to buy black, so colourful it was 🙂
Happy Easter dear Kelle!
Please keep up the fantastic work!
We had a similar revelation with our daughter … turns out she DIDN’T want the cuddling. She goes to sleep without a fight now!
I’m enjoying: a spontaneous Saturday, my daughter’s budding vocabulary, and fresh berries. 🙂
Sleep-wise, I had to do the same thing with my youngest and she reacted in much the same way – cried for a short time and then napped well after that.
Three things I’m enjoying right now: getting excited about my youngest’s 3rd birthday in a couple of days, finally enjoying some warm temps and the knowledge that summer is on its way!
3 things?
Naji and Sabria and Kaish are playing this morning and having so much fun. They are happy. I LOVE happy children.
The house is still sort of clean from yesterday. I might not do any work today in it. That would be nice : )
My Dad had a dream come true last week. He is 59 and a dream came true. I can not stop smiling. I love my parents so much.
Kaish told me he is too old for the easter bunny and a hunt this year. I think I told you already. I am sort of having a freak out about it.
Darn iPhone….! Rare (not Rhode)
😉
I like cuddling in bed with my toddler, bright sunshine in the morning & coffee brewing in my Keurig.
Three things I’m loving?
1) My brand new standing mixer!
2) For my brand new house! (in 26 days!!)
3) For friends who are always looking out for me!
There are sooo many more, but these are the first 3 that popped into my head now!
Enjoying spring, fresh food from the ground, dying eggs with the kids, numerous Easter egg hunts, cute spring dresses..
I’m enjoying the thought of my mom coming to visit this week for my son’s 7th birthday. Now, on to planning the “Karate” themed party!
Enjoying……so much, but here’s 3:
1. Being all that Nora needs for nourishment….it wasn’t that easy the first 2 times around.
2. Watching my boys in their sports activities…stinkin’ cute in their little uniforms 🙂
3. And my husband…right now he’s baking….(with a chef’s hat & apron). It’s a Saturday ritual for him to make Dutch Babies—deeeelish!
***Gotta add that I am sooo enjoying my computer right now and the connections I’ve made with other Mamas like you! (Actually, there’s NO ONE like you, Kelle…you are exceptional 🙂
“Hoppy” Easter,
Kelly
that was more than 3, I broke the rule, sorry 🙂
Enjoying:
My girls squealing over the thousands of ladybugs their daddy bought home from the nursery!
planting flowers
all things new in spring!
Happy Easter!
I am enjoying a quiet mommy morning, drinking a Frap while reading my favorite feel good blog. Not a bad collection of 3 if I do say so myself. Happy Easter.
Ooh. You are so delicious.
I am enjoying:
1) the comments your readers leave. we got a whole lotta happy people here today!
2) four day weekend, baby
3) the smells of coffee brewin’ with the promise of a fresh spring day, my yummy husb in the shower, my baby’s sweet breath, and my other three littles freshly washed noggins.
The tomb is empty. Hallelujah!
I am enjoying little kicks in my belly, the puffy gray clouds in the sky, and the grace I am reminded of this weekend. <3
At this very moment I am enjoying the following:
1. Coffee
2. A sunny morning
3. (in a few minutes) An undisturbed shower while the baby naps.
Great way to start a Saturday.
I love it when you’ve been hanging out in those woods and you post about it, we have this giant backyard and I’m always wishing it led into woods! There’s just something awesome about little kids being able to play in a big sea of trees right behind their house.
Three things I’m lovin’ this week? This is easy peasy, I JUST wrote out a big ol’ list on my blog a few days ago!
1. Homemade pizza. There’s one slice left and I’m totally saving it for a middle of the night snack tonight after I put out Easter baskets.
2. My middlest’s imagination. It’s crazy and awesome and I hope she never, ever loses it.
3. My baby girl’s slow transformation from infant to toddler. It’s shocking how I can take two pictures, two minutes apart, and in one I see the baby who could barely lift her head a year ago, and in the other I get a glimpse of the little girl she’s trying desperately to become.
Have an awesome Easter weekend!
I’ve been a long time follower, but this is my frist time commenting. I figure I’m due (aren’t you always curious about the secret lurkers anyway?!). You are such an inspiration to me. I don’t have kids (and won’t for a while yet), but when I do, I hope that I’m as amazing of a mother as you are. Your little girls are amazing
Nella couldn’t be more adorable! I love Lainey’s frog boots too, super super cute!
Three things I’m enjoying–
*The sound of rain hitting the window
*Cuddling under a blanket with a good book
*Downtime at home
I’m enjoying watching my husband love on the baby growing in me right now. Enjoying a day of work and ending it sailing on the hottest day of the year in the Pacific Northwest thus far. (a scorching 64*) Not to mention it happens to be on Easter weekend, historically a rainy day here. And feeling overwhelmed by the love shown on Easter!
I am enjoying some cloudy Arizona skies this morning, my son’s first Easter weekend, and thanks to my hubby who didn’t polish off the last of dinner last night:leftover pizza for breakfast! 🙂
Hope you and your family enjoy this blessed weekend!
Beautiful post as always!
3 things I’m enjoying right now:
1. How my 15 month old daughter tells me thank you (“gung gung”) for everything!
2. Spending relaxed time with friends and family.
3. Baking carrot cake cupcakes!
I have those exact same blue coffee mugs, and I am drinking my morning coffee in one right this minute LOL
I had to do the same thing with Sophia, I would rock and nurse and rock and nurse and she would just fight it, finally made myself just put her down. Now she doesn’t even cry, she just says night night and lays down with her baby. So nice not to have to fight with her anymore. Though I do miss rocking her to sleep.
1. The sweet suckling sounds of a nursing baby.
2. Hearing my little man finally figure out how to get to the ever-elusive “eleven.”
3. The smell of a freshly brewed pot of coffee mingled with daddy’s special oatmeal pancakes.
Saturday morning bliss.
3 things I’m loving right now…listening to my kids play with their cousins, my kids excitement about the Easter Bunny coming tonight, we are leaving for home from a week vacation in orlando…will miss orlando and family, but will be happy to get home.
I am enjoying…
1. A rare Saturday at home with my hubby and my little
2. A slower pace at work, which means more time for some artsy/crafty things at home
3. Being able to finally open up the house and let some fresh air in!
Thanks for the opportunity–would love the little camper t-shirt–was just telling hubby yesterday how difficult it is to find cute boy’s clothes that are age-appropriate:)
Oh my goodness that party flag t-shirt is just beyond adorable! Right now, I am loving Saturday morning, laying in bed watching a movie with my little dude, and hearing “I love you mom” just because.
If I happen to win, draw someone else …
I just wanted to jump on to say that my three favorite things are ::
1. being on day 8 of not smoking and enjoying the extra time it gives me to snuggle up with my littles
2. that my husband has FINALLY taken the time to go play golf this morning … he NEVER does anything for himself!
3. that my youngest (4 yrs old) realized today that the Easter Bunny is fake because his “mouth stays in the same place on that costume!” —
I am currently enjoying:
– this crazy, funny stage my daughter is at right now (fifteen months)
– the fact that the snow has finally melted and spring is just around the corner
– my new haircut 🙂
Love love love the photos of Nella with her new bib!
3 things:
1. coffee
2. tiny green buds on the trees
3. pinterest (please tell me you’ve discovered this. if not, google it. You will LOVE it!)
Hi, three things I am enjoying right now, coloring Easter eggs with my kids (even though it was a war of wills), cuddling my little girl tight as she falls asleep, and a cuddle session with my husband while internet shopping, and the kids off playing quietly together. Enjoy your Holiday weekend.
I’m loving listening to my hubby play with our daughter. She can’t stop saying “hi-ya daddy.”
I’m loving clear coffee mugs that make me see how much I have left to savor
I’m loving Easter weekend–decorating eggs, putting together baskets, breaking out little Easter dresses and celebrating that He has Risen!
Three things I’m loving right now;
~Melting snow
~More light in the day
~My son’s love for the outdoors
i’m enjoying that it is not raining for the first time in days!!
1. The lake in front of my house is finally not frozen!
2. Easter long weekend which means four glorious days for sleeping in.
3. My sister in laws baby bump announcing the coming of the first grandchild for my amazing mother in law!
Right now I am enjoying:
1. Celebrating this holiday as I teach my kids all about what Jesus did for us.
2. Adding a new thing to my list of things I love to create: bread! That’s right, I am including bread in my creative arsenal:) I have avoided yeast for years being intimidated by it but no longer!
3. Days that start in flurries and end in sunshine. I don’t love the snow but the craziness of spring weather reminds me of the warm days to come and all the fun we will be having outdoors.
We totes did the Easter Bunny thing this morning since early tomorrow we are packing up and heading to Macon for Easter with the in-laws. That said, my current three faves:
1-My husband’s bloodshot eyes from staying up until 5 am -outside in 50 degree drizzly weather- putting together a swing set for the girls. I mean, seriously. True love.
2-The look on my almost 3 year old’s face when she finally noticed it out the window and the constant, “weeee” from my one year old as she tried out her new swing. Seriously, she “weeee’d” for 20 straight minutes.
3-Watching my babies share their goodies and hearing my oldest say, “I sharwing wit chu puhcuz I love you much sky.”
Coffee, kids watching cartoons, and a quiet house 🙂
I am enjoying:
Tiny baby kicks coming from my little one that will arrive in just a few weeks!
The smell of cupcakes cooling on the kitchen counter.
The Candy filled easter baskets that are ready and waiting for the kids to find.
Enjoying riding my new bike to work, taking the dogs to the park for a run, and making fresh smoothies every morn!
Happy Easter weekend to you guys!!
The Amber necklace worked amazingly well for our youngest. She still wears it, even though she’s 2 1/2 and not necessarily teething right now. When I take it off, she comes to me a few hours later and asks for it, saying it makes her feel good 🙂
I hope that’s a good thing 😉
I love 1) coffee with vanilla soy milk, 2) hugs from my 1 year old and snuggles from y 5 year old 3) a workout that kicked my tail this morning falsely making me think I can eat a lot of easter candy tomorrow.
happy easter!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter 🙂
I’m EL-LOH-VEE-EE-ing
-my first four mile run since my baby boy’s arrival
-my little girl’s easter dress to wear tomorrow with a purple cardi

Heart hair and coffee in the woods…life doesn’t get any better.
I’m loving all the small things; the first cup of coffee I drink while standing at the kitchen sink looking across the farmland just like my Mama did, the kiss atop my head my husband gives before he leaves the room, and the smell of rain about to make it debut.
Happy weekend….
the heart in her hair is adorable! love it!
Ohh I love this sponsor! Since my 8 yr. old daughter pretty much wants to wear t-shirts and jeans every day and my son wants only his Tom and Jerry shirts I am so excited to have a little girl again (9 mos.) that I can put in cute clothes like these! That brings me to what I’m enjoying…
-having a baby in the house again, every little bit of it!!
-afternoons outside in this gorgeous weather (hula hooping, watching the kids play in sprinklers, and reading-lately The Hunger Games)
-tootsie rolls
As always, love your pics! I’m enjoying a rainy Saturday at home with my husband, a good book and the fluttery feelings of my almost-19 week old baby moving around in my belly. A good day, if I do say so myself.
Aw, what a wonderful place to enjoy coffee. Now I really want to go camping. I bought an amber teething necklace for my son too.
1.) This beautiful cloudy morning.
2.) This cool morning.
3.) Being with both my children this weekend.

Your blog makes me smile. Right now I am enjoying… a slow Saturday breakfast with my hubby, a sweet baby dancing in my belly, and the new cherry blossoms against the blue sky. After months of clouds and rain in Western Oregon, the sun seems to be a special gift this morning.
1. I love that my 13 month is giving me huge hugs and she hums and pats my back as she does it
2 I am loving the gorgeous weather we are having here in NC after the rain we had yesterday

2.Lucia (age 7) long fluttery eyelashes, a little pug nose, and a book in hand.
3.Eva (age 3) one little dimple, curls in her hair, and she LOVES her Mommy.
right now i am enjoying the small (but big) act of nursing my youngest, while daddy took the oldest three to the grocery store. i am enjoying the peace, the quiet, and a rare “just us” moment with my baby.
Not having to work today even though I thought I would have to
Getting out for a morning run and running a mile further than I had been
Having the day to spend with my kids(better than work) and my husband is able to get some yard work done

1.watching the colorful eggs be found… in the lush green grass

coins.
Love the heart hair!! and I’m so glad to hear Nella is doing better 🙂
The things I’m enjoying…Well, your blog! 😉 but, perfect weather-70 degrees and blue skies, newly purchased purple pansies in the flower pots outside, and the joy and renewal of having been able to sleep in this morning after several days of hard push at work-ahhhhh 🙂

Chelsie in AZ
I am enjoying afternoon naps with my five week old boy!
I’m enjoying sitting with my kitten, getting errands done with my husband, and contemplating the meaning behind Easter. 🙂
Enjoying Bubble blowing, lots of thunderstorms, pastel easter eggs that rattle with secret treats.
Today is my birthday so I’m enjoying…1) the daughter I have after doctors said I couldn’t have babies 2) the roof over my head even though I lost my job as a teacher two years ago and 3) the husband I have who can laugh with me at the good things even when around us everything seems to be falling apart.
P.S. I’m glad Nella is napping better for you!
I’m enjoying my cup of coffee, silence, and just watching my brand new baby boy, Angus, sleep.

coffee in the woods is one of the things I adore most about camping. right now I’m loving the way my 4 year old flips her hair off the back of her neck when she gets nervous; my new straw beach bag; and the purple pastel Easter tree from the Dollar Store that has been our table centerpiece for the last 2 weeks.

Adorable! My son needed a lot of help getting to sleep for his first 6 months, and hardly slept too. One day, I was so fustrated walking and rocking for an hour, I put him in his crib (7 months) and expected him to scream like always. He instantly fell asleep and slept for 3 straight hours! I was clueless what to do with myself, LOL. He’s never needed another snuggle since 🙁
I am enjoying my baby not being sick any more, planning to make cake pops tomorrow even though I have a zillion things to do, and finishing my last homework assignments for one of my grad classes this semester!
Oh, and of course I’m enjoying reading your blog when i’m supposed to be doing HW 😉
LOVE Mountain Aven Baby! I bought my daughter an outfit from them when she was a baby and was so sad when she outgrew it.
thunderstorms–the perfect excuse to watch movies all afternoon, warm mornings that are perfect for iced coffee, and most of all–the promise of summer right around the corner
I’m loving my clean house, the smell of lemon yogurt cake cooling on the counter and the sound of my kids laughing to Snoopy.

3 things I enjoy right this minute:
1. Quiet in the house since my husband went to get his mop cut and Baby is konked for a recharge.
2. The brief shower last night. It’s so dry out here it’s not even funny.
3. Also glad that Baby doesn’t know that the play cars/helicopters/mini-carousel at the mall move if you put money in. She’s just happy to run from thing to thing and sit on it – doesn’t know yet that they can “come on” and move and make sounds… ergo, no fits pitched in the name of $1 per ride. (Wha? A dollar? Really? When did that happen?)
I am loving:
Sunshine on my shoulders, finally seattle, about time!!
Patagonia spring 2011 collection of dresses….ahhhh….
Tina Fey’s new book in hardcover, in my hands!

On another note, my son wore an amber teething necklace throughout his teething and I took him to the pedi for an appointment and the doctor saw his necklace and commented “Cool necklace!” I think told him it was a Baltic teething necklace and he sort of rolled his eyes at me, but when I told him that I never had to give him and drugs or teethers while he was teething, his ears perked up and started to listen to me. In the end, I don’t know if he bought it, but he was impressed by it.

– reveling in this email I received yesterday, from the young, fit and oh-so-enthusiastic-and encouraging trainer, I enlisted a month ago, to assist me on my journey to take this 61 year old, out of shape, and significantly over-weight body of mine, to a place of good health and appropriate strength……Here’s what he said, after completing my first Body Comp since starting a month ago:
“Hey Rosemary! Wow…k, so after reviewing your body comps…in one month…I repeat, one month, you’ve lost over 12 pounds of fat, gained over 2 pounds of muscle, and your fat percentage is down over 4%!!!
I’m so proud of you!”
– choosing a few new items of clothing to fit the body that’s a little less overweight and out-of-shape than it was a month ago.
– going on those shopping excursions with my amazing daughter, where the time we spend is full of laughter and talk and best of all – lotsa love!
Thanks for another inspiring post – just like all the rest!……….Rosemary

Love your blog, your words are fantastic and your pictures are beautiful! Three things I am enjoying right now: My sweet 7 week old sleeping on the couch next to me, my three oldest taking a quick break from playing in the sun to watch a little tv, and knowing my toddler is getting the rest she needs right now as I listen to the music from her room on the baby monitor and know that she is sleeping soundly.
Green buds on tree
Playing Easter bunny
A successful surgery for my 2 year old yesterday
loving,,,
-purdy’s mini chocolate eggs (get those away from me!)
-waking up to coffee (giving pike place roast a try and so far so good)
-having ‘nana’ here for the long weekend
finn’s new “allo” that he says into anything that kinda sorta resembles a phone (right now? the mouse)
stella’s occasional fabulousness at being a good big sister. compliments and urgings and yay-yous!
cora’s fear of swim lessons. not because of her fear. but how it broke through her generally strong hard headed facade … and left her coming to me to express her little bit o’ nervousness. (and then getting through it … which leads her to believe that she is kind of big like a 5 or a 10 year old.)
enjoy your weekend.
xoxo.
I am enjoying my quiet house with 2 boys & Daddy napping. I am enjoying boy #3 kicks from his safe little womb. I am enjoying reading my favourite blogs!
Three things I am loving right now:

Finding my daughter an Easter dress at the last minute and it was totally cute!
my kids are super excited about Easter

Enjoying a short break while the littles are visiting G and G, enjoying having my husband home after 4 l-o-n-g months of tax season, and enjoying packing for Florida!

Happy weekend!
I LOVE that my baby girl sleeps until 8:30 in the morning, I LOVE that my husband still calls me his bride after 13 years of marriage, and I LOVE hearing my girl run around the house looking for me yelling mama? mama?
3 things I’m enjoying lately:

Unbelievable sunshine! Finally 🙂 We had an amazing time hunting for eggs on a grassy, treed hill overlooking the ocean yesterday. My 3 year old’s astronaut costume was the perfect touch. We call him the eastronaut 🙂
Turkey dinner is on the horizon…just mere hours away!
Can I say what I’m not enjoying, though? I no longer am allowed to listen to your fabulous soundtrack, as there is a licensing conflict (i live in Canada). Super BUMMER!!!!
Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos, as usual 🙂 I’m so glad you and Nella have figured out just what she needed in order to get some shut-eye. A nurse once told me some kids just need to let out the stresses of the day right before sleep, then they’re content!

Hey Kelle–I am a 1st time commenter but long time reader and I was catching up on todays post and was looking at the last pic of Nella when my 4 year old daughter came into the room and asked “Who is that?” ” Her name is Nella,” I replied. Her response “Oh, I love Nella, she is my beautiful friend.” Last week, she told me she wanted to meet her friend Lainey!
Three things I’m enjoying right now:
A mild spring day;
Hugs and cuddles from my almost three year old;
My morning swims.
Love your photos, your outlook in life…just your blog in general. You are awesome! I was wondering if you could tell me how you did your bathroom…with those frames over the mirror? LOVE IT! I also love..
1. Watching the world through my 17 month olds eyes. Everything is so new to her, and now is to me as well.
2. Cake pops. I make them almost every week 🙂

This very moment I’m enjoying American Idol from two weeks ago, (Yes, two weeks), my 21 mo old sitting on my lap (I swear the first time he’s sat all day), and the countdown to bedtime (a 21 mo old who has been on the move all day is exhausting).
In general, I’m enjoying a great new playlist on my Ipod, the fact that the weather might finally be spring-like, and I’m in the middle of a four day weekend.
enjoying quiet after putting baby to bed..

Turquoise beads make my boring gray old man winters look summery!
Never thought I would say it, the gym, and how it makes me feel so full of energy for the rest of the day and in between nightly kid-related wake-ups, it helps me to sleep like I’m dead!
My new HOMEGOODS (I love that place so much it deserves capitals) throw pillow with aqua and orange graphic flowers wake up my brown sofa much like my beads wake up my gray.
Feeling Springy!

2.) Catching up on my blog reading.
3.) The after glow of a (finally) sunny day. We had snow as recently as yesterday!!
Loving:
1. The sweet smell of honeysuckles and windows being open to allow the smell to fill our house.
2. Trips to get icecream and the giggles of happiness that comes with it.
3. That bedtime comes so easy after a day spent outside.
1. The twinkle lights my husband installed out on our patio.
2. Weather warm enough to enjoy said twinkle lights.
3. A new recipe for Black bean Burgers that my 3 year old loves! Inspiration in the kitchen is always welcome!
Love that flag banner t-shirt on Nella! Adorable products.
Wow that last picture of Nella is absolutely beautiful!
Right this minute, I’m enjoying my two girls piled on a pallet with 4 of their cousins in their grandparents’ living room the night before Easter.
I’m also enjoying spending time with my sister, who is my very best friend.
I’m enjoying the wind and lightening going on outside, especially knowing that the worst parts of this storm system are northeast of us and southwest of us and we’re relatively safe from anything severe.
Happy Easter

three things I’m enjoying right now
reading your Blog I always enjoy it.
Watching and listening to the little ones getting excited for Easter ( ages 2,3,4)
enjoying watching my two four week old Yorkies Playing
The sound of rain on my rooftop.
My little boy snuggled up sleeping next to me.
The wild eyed look of outrageous excitement from the kids in the morning when they discover the Easter Bunny came and brought gifties and candy and hid eggs here there and every where.
hard-boiled eggs with a pinch of salt and peppa, sweet tea, and the stillness that sustains me when everyone’s tucked snuggly in their soft bed.
Oh my gosh – those clothes/bibs are so cute!! I could use that gift certificate sista!!
Three things I’m enjoying right now/earlier today:
Spending a quiet Saturday evening in with my hubby while the little man is asleep.
Seeing the sun and the green grass – it’s been cloudy and cool this week. Bring on the green!
Hugs, kisses and snuggles from my little man. I crawled up next to him and he burst into smile. Just makes my day!!!
Happy Easter to you! Enjoy all those beautiful eggs:0)
I’m enjoying-
-When my 15 month old comes to me about the same time every night and “asks” for a bath. He reaches for me, says “ba?” and gives me a cheesy grin because he knows it’s coming.
-When my son goes over to my husband and lays his head down on him and says, “Awww, my daddy”. Just melts my heart.
-A morning cup of coffee while cartoons are on in the background.
It really is the small things that matter most in life!
I agree 100%–people dressed up as the Easter Bunny are a bit scary (and sweaty!)
I love my sleepy babies, sunshine, and a really good book 🙂
Three things: 4 out of 5 of my once-littles-now-bigs home for the weekend, the fact that they all dyed eggs with their mama without any arm twisting, and most important of all, knowing that we wake up to the celebration of our Risen Savior!
3 things I’m enjoying: the incredible weather we had today and that I got to spend the entire day outside, that I am about to make a carrot cake from scratch for the first time with my husband for Eater lunch tomorrow and that my girl is so into giving these days.
I am enjoying/LOVING having my 12 week old angel Cate sleeping on my chest as I read this post. There is no place else I would rather be!
hello favorite blog!!!
1. classic rock concerts that come on Vh1 classic (of late: INXS, Heart, U2, Paul McCartney)
2. celebrating my little’s 5th b-day with all our family

Right now loving 1)planning the annual trip to Florida 2)watching the wonder that is sibling love 3)my new red tennies (one should always have a fun pair of red shoes)
I’m enjoying that we bought a new bed today, that I had sweet potatoes with marshmallows on them for supper, and that you have a new post on your blog! 🙂
I’m loving – spending my first Easter with my new boys, prepping my annual Easter leg of lamb, and stuffing Easter baskets at midnight.
Love, babies, and holidays with family! Love the posts!
that heart hair is adorable!
three things I am loving a the moment!
1. all of the flowers we planted on the front porch pots today! They look so amazing with this beautiful weather!
2. The coconut Bunny Cake sitting in my refrigerator waiting to be devoured by Easter guests
3. The fact that Cecil DeMille’s Ten Commandments is on TV. Brings back fond memories of watching it with my parents as a child.
Enjoy your weekend! 🙂
I love feeling my baby kick inside me, now finally even from the outside. I love making very detailed matzah pizza for my boys with tiny drops of olive oil and flecks of oregano, helping them get through this Passover restricted diet with some pleasure. I love days that are warm in the sun and cool in the shade.
Happy to hear Nella is sleeping better! That makes such a huge difference in your/their day.
I’m enjoying …
1. The Easter egg hunt we held in the yard today after the disastrous church one we went to turned into a stampede of toddlers (we left without even putting our son down … for fear of his life!). The one in our yard was better anyway.
2. Counting the final days of this two-course semester of grad classes, the one I was sure I would never survive with a 1-year-old and a full-time job.
3. OshKosh overalls in the blue-and-white train conductor fabric … Saw them weeks ago at this little consignment shop and kicked myself for not buying them. Found them yesterday … still there and now on sale!
Happy Easter!
1. My 3 Year old.
2. My 1 Year Old.
3. My Life.
reesee’s peanut butter eggs, lilac bushes in full bloom and mob wives on tv (i know, i know… but it’s true).
Three things I am enjoying right now are:
1. watching my 18 month old jump around the front yard while laughing the entire time
2.watching my 4 year old daughter push him up and down the sidewalk on his tricycle
3. hiding Easter eggs, leaving a note from the Easter bunny,making bunny foot prints on the floor and spitting out chewed up carrots so our daughter believes the bunny was really here!
HAPPY EASTER!
1. The smell of banana bread baking in the oven.
2. The sound of my 16 month old talking to herself as she falls asleep.
3. Scouting the Mountain Aven Baby’s website. Too cute!!
Happy Easter Hampton’s and other ETST readers!
My 3 things are:
– lying on the trampoline with my girls while autumn leaves fall on us.
– dinner with girlfriends
– 79c easter bunny’s
Holding my jammied 5 (almost6) month old baby girl while she “kisses” my chin and grabs both of my cheeks with her chubby sweet fingers, snuggle time in the morning with all 3 of my babes, and smelling my sweet little ones’ hair right after taking a bath!
I’m enjoying warm weather, Easter candy and my daughters pigtails!
I’m loving Easter at the beach, Easter treats and celebrating the weekend with family.
I am lovin’ kissin’ my sweet baby’s cheeks…I am diggin’ her wonderful extra chromosome..and just lovin’ life 🙂
Three Things I AM Enjoying:
1. My yoga pants
2. My big ole chair
3. The thought that my kids are all coming tomorrow for Easter Dinner. 😀
Enjoying:
Watching my shy little one talk to the Easter bunny the entire time she’s on his lap for a picture.
Having Ben’s absolutely loving parents spend the holiday with us.
Making vanilla bean cheesecake with lemon curd for my BFF’s open house tomorrow.
Happy Easter dear!
Jennifer from Annapolis
Heart Hair is adorable! I wonder if my 7 year old would (finally) let me do her hair if I showed her that?
I am enjoying:
Peace and quiet because most of the family is in bed.
My baby’s little sounds as he snuggles on my lap.
And I am (about to) enjoy a warm cup of hot horchata. Mmmmm…
Hmmm, only three things huh? Okay, the smell of carrot cake baking in my oven, sun kissed skin for the first time in 8 months (I’m in Oregon), and a glass of wine to end the day!
Three things I am loving right now…
Sunny days are finally showing up.
My new hair cut and color.
The church we are attending.
Have a Happy Easter…always so inspired by your posts. You are amazing.
1. Enjoying our family trip to Watercolor this weekend. My Dad only gets to see my daughter a couple of times a year, so we enjoy the heck out of every gathering.
2. Slightly enjoying my attempt at a rainbow layer cake. Tasting will happen on tomorrow, Easter Sunday.
3. Very much enjoying taking my little to church in the morning and celebrating Jesus.
xoxo
I am enjoying it not storming at the moment,my girl’s delight at hunting eggs, and the bubble residue on my hardwood floors because we couldn’t go outside so we blew bubbles inside to make my girl happy and to make me laugh at her trying to catch them on her tongue. Such beatiful girls you have. May you all have a great weekend.
I’m enjoying my passover matza right now.
A luscious milk chocolate, and the music on your blog. 🙂
Esther Dush
my man, my girl and nba playoffs
LOVE your blog….
1.I enjoy this magical age that my youngest is at 5 1/2.
2.I enjoy staying up too late to go to the local original talent/improv venue on Friday nights.
3.I enjoy just sitting in the sun watching my girl dig in the dirt like a good American citizen.
Kristie
Right now I’m enjoying laying in bed, silence (minus my husband snoring but that might be better than 3 kids at this hour) and not sleeping because I’m excited about Easter!!
Skylar
I can’t even begin to tell you how grown up nella looks! She just keeps looking less like a baby with each post and more like a little toddler! And I love the pictures of her standing, they make me so happy, and seeing her eyes shine and reflect the world around her is always beautiful. Lainey’s heart hair is awesome! I wish I could do that with mine.
Three things I’m loving…
1) The shift in weather. I’m estatic that I’ve already worn my flip flops more days than not this week, and that a light sweater is all I need to leave with on. I can hardly stand being cooped inside anymore- I just love the birds chirping, the blue skies and the breeze in my hair.
2) College ending soon. Summer is on it’s way and that means the end of classes. New beginnings are now old routines and I want it switched up…Bring me a wild crazy warm summer! (with no essays, preferably!)
3) The feeling of knowing someone loves you- boyfriend, family, friends, it’s just a wonderful feeling.
Happy Easter!! May the Easter bunny bless you with large and loaded with candy baskets. 😉
I am enjoying my boy, my girl, and my life right now. It is good.
My 3: Eating Peeps! My son dying easter eggs, and his hands and arms while he is at it, and watching my youngest make cute faces while she sleeps.
Happy Easter!
I’m enjoying:
– the excitement of waiting for the E. Bunny. Eggs dyed, candy filled ones hidden, carrots out and note from the bunny himself done (now only if the brunch would cook itself)
– how much my two kids love eachother
– living for the moment, who knows that may be what life is all about
Cheers!
Love your blog Kelle!
What I’m enjoying…
playing Easter Bunny…hearing my 3 year old ask “so mom, how was your day?” at least 20 times each day, starting often at around 615 :-)………dressing up my shoe, hat, and dress lovin’ girl
Happy Easter!
I think we need an Easter Oh face from Nella!
Today I’m lovin’ that we have lawn furniture out on the deck finally after a long winter, we went to lunch in a restaurant and nobody caused a scene, and watching my girls run and play and roll in the grass with their cousins.
what am i enjoying? emma, Elliot and that last pic of nella!
that heart hair is awesome! 3 things I’m loving right now are: listening to my twin toddlers crack each other up, my new running shoes, the sunshine day we had today!
Lately I am enjoying… My 6 year olds excitement about first grade, throwing myself into wedding planning, and the new things my 15 month old does every day. Today was when his poppa came around the corner of the house and he lit up and said “Poppa!!” clear as day with a big smile on his face. Ok, one more… I enjoyed his Poppa’s reaction as well!
Three things I’m enjoying right now are my new Yankee Lilac Blossoms Candle, a hot cup of Sleeptime Tea & the snore of my dogs who are in dreamland laying next to me:) HAPPY & BLESSED:)
This is so nice!
Thunderstorms, rosettes on dresses and the last few weeks of maternity leave.

1. making people feel better
2. an Easter sunrise about to happen
3. a little 15 minute unexpected coffee break!
Hi kelle,
Love your blog and so do my 4yr old triplets(2boys,1girl). Since i have found your blog, you have taught me so much. My friends think i’m the most patient person and that they couldn’t handle triplets. At times i feel guilty that they didn’t come one at a time, so that i could give them more attention. Thanks to you, i have learned to appreciate more and enjoy every second of the chaos and the fun times. To drink in moments to last a lifetime. Thank you for the priceless gift.
Nella’s necklace-everyone i know in New Zealand has them for their children and all swear by them. I don’t know how it works, only that it does. I’m sure you will see more of your sweet pea and less of her sleepless and sore twin.
Enjoy your easter break and chocolate binge ;0).
Blessings,
Relle
Happy Easter! Holidays are just the best.
I’m loving my parents more than ever. I really think I got blessed with the rockstar parents people dream of.
I’m loving that summer is almost here. Just 5 weeks of school left and then being a stay at home wife and mama-to-be is my new job.
And loving my new couch. It only took me 9 months and a custom order to find exactly what I wanted.
Things I am loving right now:
1. Raspberry & Cranberry Tea
2. That we have a 5 day Easter break due to ANZAC Day falling on the same day as Easter Monday.
3. My big-girl (almost 4) just discovered painting & she loves it. Which means that I get an excuse to paint kids pictures too. (Reminds me of the colouring-in thing you were talking about the other day :D)
Happy Easter!
I’m loving having chocolate Hot Cross Buns (for those non-sultana eaters amongst us) and coffee in our backyard with my boys in the morning; Easter weekend picnics; and lovely Grandparents who offer to babysit so I can spend some very rare alone time with my favourite husband 🙂
* Coffee
* 2 kids still discussing their Easter Basket treats
* What today symbolizes for me as a Christian
I am loving your blog…your posts make me happy and put me in a positive frame of mind:) I am loving the Easter egg hunt I just partook in with my 2 year old and 8 month old….and I am loving the big ol’ mug of coffee I am sipping on…
I’m in love with…
1- morning coffee before the little peeps wake up.
2-tagging along on a work trip with the man to Vegas.
3- coming home from our trip to our 3 little boys and no one saying a word for 2 whole minutes… all they did was smile at us and smile REALLY big and hug!
L-O-V-E!
1. I just enjoyed reading your post!
2. Watching the sun rise on this beautiful day.
3. AND ahhhh, my first sip of coffee!
Happy Easter!
xoxo, Bug & Ruby’s Gram

i’m enjoying the fruits of my labor- mulch on the flower beds so they look slightly less like a jungle and more like landscaping, enjoying my son’s birthday weekend, he is five on monday, enjoying spring and warm weather where we can go outside and our house doesn’t feel as microscopic.
Right now I’m enjoying my daughter’s easy transition to her big-girl bed, my cat entertaining my baby boy, and the yummiest cup of tea ever.
1. I am enjoying the fact that I’m (finally) losing post baby weight (she’s 2 years) while my friends are complaining about eating chocolate eggs. It just motivates me more.
2. I am enjoying the spring walk to pick my (older girls) from school. The Georgia honeysuckle and jasmine is in full bloom and it’s smells heavenly.
3. I am enjoying sweaty, dirty, exhausted girls who beg to stay outside because “the sun is still out.”
I am enjoying
1) light rain on the roof, helping me sleep late
2) knowing I am taking off work for the next two days to get a jump start on cleaning out my kitchen for the up-coming remodel project
3)seeing my 4 kiddos in their Easter finery and all of us getting to sit together in church service today.
1. My kid’s Easter outfits

2. The Lindor Truffles for Mommy from the Easter bunny.
3. A quiet rainy day to enjoy my anything but perfect, yet perfect for me little family!

Three things I am enjoying right now.
1) The Spring weather that is now consistently here.
2)The new iced green tea/lemonade drink (cold/caffeine/lemonade= yum)
3) This four day weekend!
First off, I have to say that when the music starts playing, more often than not I’m caught off guard because it will be one of MY favorite songs that no one else seems to know about. That Dr Dog is one of my all time faves–so fun to have it pop up when I visit!!
SO my 3 favorite things right now are:
1. turquoise polo shirts for my boys
2. the way anything Mickey Mouse makes my 2 yr olds face light up

3. Dreaming about making my first quilt
Your blog is changing my life. It lets me be a better father for my 2-year-old son. It makes me think. I would not have considered keeping a baby with DS two years ago, but right now I would accept the challenge that life handed me.
I enjoy your photography and the great weather in the US. Europe is getting better now that the holidays have arrived.
I am a far way from god but I pray for the well-being of your children (and mine).

Peace, Allison
1) Skyping for the first time with far away family. Loved sharing our little boy with them.
2) Spending time with close friends.
3) Only 4 more weeks of work.
Happy Easter to your family.
Reading books in the hammock (with the littles, of course), baby sister falling asleep while resting her hand on big sisters face, and freshly painted walls.
1) a nice cuppa tea (British style with milk)
2) a hot cross bun fresh from the local bakery
3) (best of all) sharing both with my family! (Well, warm milk in lieu of tea for my favorite 4 year old!). A nice mid-afternoon break!
love the sushi bib!
currently enjoying,
Our newly painted bright cobalt blue front door
my baby girl holding my finger while shes nursing (making typing even more difficult)
and a peaceful Easter with my husband, 6 week old daughter, and our pets. No fuss, no frills, just us and a lazy Sunday. Wonderful.
Happy Easter!
I’m enjoying 1) silence in the house with baby sleeping (after being up all night at midnight Easter service) and the older two at an Easter party
2) the holiday feeling and
3) Cadbury eggs 🙂
I’m enjoying watching my 5-month old daughter, Emmalyn, learn new things every day, decorating our new home, & moving back home to be close to our families. Isn’t life such a gift?!
OMgoodness. Heart hair is PRECIOUS! 3 things I’m enjoying:
* an all-of-a-sudden wonderfully predictable schedule for my 8 month old.
* an 11 year old who adores her baby brother.
* a $7 wine I found @Costco.
Happy Easter!
1. The impromptu water fight we had with friends today.
2. Getting to spend the weekend with my mom….she cooked the best Easter meal.
3. Snuggles from the best little 6 month old I know!! My little guy is teething too.
happy Easter:). Nella is getting so big! Love your comment about the man in the Easter costume- totally sketchy, but def have to acknowledge the poor bunny;). Good for him!
3 things I’m loving up now are the sun (which hasn’t been present as of lately, as I’m a New Englander), my squishy 5-month old son and the fact that it’s still the weekend:).
xoxo,
Blair
I am enjoying the surprises of life, like coming across a beautiful ultrasound picture of a woman who will make a beautiful mama and has been waiting ever so patiently for her turn.
Hope I can be the winner so I can spoil her, rightly so for her first baby. <3
Happy Sunday!
Three things I enjoy in this moment:
1. Looking through pictures from the family trip to our cabin.
2. Talking to my boyfriend, while he’s nearly asleep
3. Reading your blog and your lovely pictures, of your lovely daughters!
Have a nice day – or whatever the time is there right now!
-Greetings from Norway 🙂
In this moment I am enjoying nursing my youngest to an early night, hearing Daddy bathe the other two and hearing birds chirp outside as I reminisce all the sweet moments on this joyful day. There were basketfuls of sweetness today.
I’m enjoying…margarita’s…we’ve been making them at home at night after the boys are in bed. Yum!
That my 2 1/2 yr old is potty trained and it really only took a weekend.
Planning our summer vacation to the Outer Banks!
Wait…and the new store..love that they have boys stuff too!
Happy Easter!
This Sunday afternoon happiness brings me smiles as I filter through Easter pictures, watch my boys sleep after a fun day, and enjoy my Campbell’s Vegetable Beef soup with a hint of Cayenne Pepper to spice things up! 😉
three things I am enjoying right now…my bff Nancy, who always makes me feel that I am better than I think I am, my husband Jake, who goes to the baseball game even when he is sick, cuz his kid got the tickets for him and my beautiful cat, tony, who cries when i come home because he missed me so much! Can’t get any better than that…
Love the new pictures…and can I say that Nella is definitely coming into her own. She is growing out of the baby stage and looks stunning with her growing hair! Love the Lainey & friend pics – memories to cherish. And the clothes have given me new inspiration.
Three things I am loving right now
My husband cooking me dinner after a 12hour shift.
My puppies, Bailey and Roxy
My new cheesy romance book
Happy Easter, Kelle! I’m enjoying family walks to Starbucks, a Sunday family nap and diggin’ in the dirt. Finally, we’ve had temps over 60 and we’ve been able to get out and enjoy the sun. Hope all is well with you, Kelle.
Kate and Henry
It’s not the placebo effect they really do work!!!!
3 things I’m loving – my baby loves books and will climb up into my lap to happily read them. School holidays – boy did I need a break & our little girl singing “dad-eeee” all over the house
Three things I am enjoying right now…. watching Caddyshack, being with my hubby and a glass of wine! What a combo!! 🙂
pepsi max (it’s the best diet cola. ever.) grilled cheese and the sounds of kiddos digging through easter baskets for the 398th time as though it was the 1st.
And I am SO HAPPY you figured out naps with Nella – putting kiddos down and letting them figure it out is RIGHT ON!! I was admonishing you in your post last week, but knowing you wouldnt hear me I didnt get very loud, but I’m so glad you avoided weeks and weeks of more frustration. We ALWAYS had to put our kids “away” to go to sleep – they were way too overstimulated otherwise. And they’d NEVER fall asleep while stuff was going on (they still dont fall asleep during movies – neither do we) no matter how late it was. Think about it, we you fall asleep being carried and held and sung to and _____? It would all be perfectly wonderful, but not for sleeping. So I may sound a bit preachy, but just want to wrap it up with a big kuddos to ya! Thanks for sharing all you do!
~mother of 4
I LOVE reading about your girls and life as a mom, thank you! I love that today rained ALL day … strange, I know but it gave us the chance to snuggle in our pj’s all day and enjoy the holiday after a morning of frilly dresses and church. I love that they are sound asleep in bed with a belly full of chocolate bunnies. And I love that tomorrow is a new day, a new week and a new beginning – Happy Easter!
I’m enjoying my beautiful 3 year old boy, my baby kicking in my belly and relaxing after a LONG, tiring Easter weekend! 🙂 I hope yours was fabulous!
ambermarie6183@msn.com
My three things I am loving right now is my three year old randomly saying “thank you so much for a wonderful Easter, I had so much fun!”. Getting to color eggs with my girls for the first time as we never did it growing up and my yellow lab laid on my lap loving the attention now my girls are in bed as she knows its finally all about her!
Happy Easter 🙂
one day, i want to drink my coffee in the woods – right now i have to settle for my kitchen table with my windows open!
Right now, I’m enjoying: birthday cake leftover from my son’s party this afternoon (can’t believe he’s 2!!); having my husband home with us this evening and not at work; the gorgeous warm-but-not-too-hot yet weather we’ve been enjoying this weekend.
When I was a camp counselor, I would always have my morning coffee in the woods (while the kids were still sleeping of course). If I try hard enough, I can still smell the pine trees. Ahhh!
Happy Easter!
Three things I am enjoying right now after having my grand children for the weekend; a dirty house, a quiet house and left behind jelly beans.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who was having trouble in the ‘nap’ department. E.J. is a little over 6 months old now – and I just had to start laying him down, rubbing back for 1 minute, and walking out. Now he does it without fussing at all! 🙂
Enjoying:
1. That God is with me always. Even when I feel the world crashing down, and I feel like noone else will do.
2. How everything is bright, crisp green around here!
3. My boys’ laughter. I can just look at them with a grin, and they pour out their best smile – the one where you can see it all over – the eyes, the cheeks, the lips, everywhere. I love it. It makes me feel truly loved. 🙂
“Heart Hair.
It kind of happened by accident, but now it’s her favorite. “Do a heart in my hair,” she says. All she needs is a teenage boy with bad skin to give her a corsage, compliment her peach taffeta tea length gown, and off to prom she goes.”
Love it.
Warm April sunshine, my little guy’s crazy bedhead hair, and chocolate bunnies stolen form Easter baskets!
Three things I am enjoying:
Peace and quiet – all four kids are in bed and happy
The satisfaction of a great family conversation tonight to get us all on the same page and build eachother up.
I’m enjoying the fact that I have the courage and knowledge to leave a comment!!!
I seem to be enjoying so many things right now. But the first three that pop in my mind: warm spring days, precious conversations with my oldest, and the thought of our annual trip back to the US that is just around the corner.
Happy Easter!
I’m enjoying…
1. this picture of Lainey and her friend, the first where they are fake fishing and Bailey (that’s her right?) seems to be whispering in your girl’s ear. It’s so cute, a little girls’friendship!
2. my mom’s banana bread, my easter gift 🙂
3. being home to my kitties after a long weekend away!
Happy easter!!!
Love the heart, love the boots, love the improved sleep.
Three things I’m enjoying:
Smoothies with frozen fruit, OJ and vanilla yogurt.
Medication that’s making me feel less crazy. (Hey, I’m enjoying it!)
Having a place to go to when I need quiet time.
Right now I’m lovin’ the bulbs of hyacinth, muscari and tulips that are just breaking through the mud, the first hair cut my 15 month old son is sporting even if it’s a bit lopsided from not sitting still and hollow bunnies. Yep bought them for him but momma hides then in the freezer.
Best to you and the ladies.
I’m enjoying bike rides on the beach, star watching with a glass of wine, and quiet mornings, watching the waves crash on the shore with a cup of tea 🙂
1. The pretend museum that is being constructed in the bathtub by my 4yo at this very moment.
2. When your blog tunes came on, she said, “We don’t need tunes in this bath.” Then a few seconds later, she said, “Actually, tunes need to be in this bath.” Apparently she’s a fan of Dr. Dog.
3. The lovely Easter we had today. We even flew a kite.
three things i’m enjoying this very moment: (1)thin mint ice cream (yes, like the girlscout cookies) edy’s makes it… seriously girl ya gotta try it! sooo good (2)NCIS… one of my fave shows (3)warm weather! hooray for spring! 🙂
I am enjoying relaxing at the puter and reading your blog of course 😉 after a long, exhausting, but funfilled weekend! Enjoy your week!
Right now I love 19 1/2 days left with kids until summer vacation because 8th graders….you know, wear me out! I’m also loving watching my niece’s vocabulary grow by leaps and bounds, and I really really really love my keurig (it totally helps with the 8th graders)
-an (almost) clean house
-planting a garden with my kids
-counting down to summer vacation!
Happy Easter!
Loving hearing my little say “My turn, my turn!” instead of wacking her older sister, loving my big girl’s eyes light up as we visited American Girl Doll this weekend, and as always, loving my coffee!
Nella (and Lainey) are getting cuter and cuter every day. Love the smiles.
Three things I’m enjoying!
– The emergence of spring. Winter in Minnesota went on much much much much much much much much much much… too long.
– My own little one. She’s a year on 5/8, and is so much fun. I love the babbling, the shy smiles, the cheeks, and most of all, the naked belly in the tub.
– Along with #1, the chance to wear skirts again! WOO!
I am enjoying all of the super cute photos of Easter my friends are posting on FB.
I just enjoyed an Easter gluten free cookie and I’m about to enjoy my cozy bed. 🙂
I’m currently enjoying:
1) this song on your blog! I always love your song choices! My husband is a music junky and he will say “do you like this song?” And before reading your blog I had never heard of his new finds… but now i’m so “yeah, I know it and love it”
2) My 2 sweet babies. I NEVER knew motherhood would be this amazing. I was never into babies or dreamed of being a mother since I was 5… you know one of “those” people. Wow is all I can say. I hope I can teach my children that children are AMAZING.
3) My God. Praise him! May be last on the list but find this spiritual place inside of me is the most serene and fullfilling experience.
I’m totally enjoying putting my feet up with my husband after putting the babe to sleep. I’m enjoying some left over Easter candy, and the fact that I have the cooliest, most adventurous 20 month old who decided to take a plunge in a pond, (a cold one, in Montana). He held on to his lovey the whole way down! He would look so adorable in that mountain scene pj outfit!
I got engaged this weekend to my best friend and so I’m enjoying basking in that happiness 1.2.3.!
my 3 things…..my mom in town for an Easter visit, a thunderstorm that rolled in this evening after a perfectly sunny day, reading the last chapter of a book to my 8 and 12 year old girls…it was a happy ending, of course.
And one more thing we are enjoying this weekend…homemade strawberry icecream made by my 15 year old. yummy, yummy, so yummy!
Glad Nella is sleeping better for you!
homemade pizza for Easter dinner, the silence, the TV show LOST
3 Things I’m LOVING right now?
#1- the beautiful weather
#2- Family time after work
#3- the end of my first semester of Graduate school!!!
Loving the fact that I will get tos pend more family time after work, in the beautiful weather because I have a 2.5 week break from graduate school!!
I am enjoying your blog and your beautiful photos of your daily lives. I am enjoying my brand new Photoshop CS5 I got a few days ago, and I am enjoying a quiet evening with my kitties, my glass of red wine and York Peppermint patties!
Wishing you and your family a wonderous and happy Easter!
1. catching up on my favorite blogs
2. planning my little man’s first birthday party
3. knowing that I can sleep in tomorrow… as long as baby cooperates

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE your blog and your children and your happy heart!
Thought you might need a helpful hint for getting crayon off of walls, furniture, etc —- WD40!! works like a charm!
I’m enjoying making Easter cookies with my son (he does the sprinkles), seeing his reaction this morning when he saw his Easter basket, and most importantly seeing him take 5 steps today! He has a motor delay and this was a huge accomplishment. I’d like to say this was the best Easter miracle ever, but I don’t want to get struck by lightning, so I guess I’ll say it’s the 2nd best Easter miracle ever 😉
Today, I boarded a plane home from a weekend in British Columbia, with my son in tow. Yesterday, while walking through the forest and pondering of there were bears, he grabbed my hand and in his biggest voice reassured me that he would “pretect” me. Tomorrow, I get to relax with my son in the new home we are creating.
Great post, coffee in the woods sounds so nice!
I am enjoying driving in my beat up old truck with the windows down to enjoy this nice weather lately, my new job, and my kids’ tiny toes in new flip flops!
I am enjoying thunder and rain, I LOVE THIS OKLAHOMA WEATHER.
I am enjoying the thought of being out of school in a month.
I am enjoying happinnes and health.
My new Keurig Coffee maker! AWESOME! Got an AWESOME deal on it too!
I am enjoying my daughter, she is 13 as of last month and blossoming into the most beautiful young woman. She gets told quite often how beautiful she is. I do my best to help keep her humble and tell her to just say thank you. She really is graceful about it.
I love my husband for the man he is. He has been through so much this past year and we are doing everything we can to help him get out of this depression that has a grip on him
Right now I’m loving:
The beautiful Autumn sunshine that we are being spoilt with today!
Listening to my girls playing nicely together!
Easter Eggs!

1) my amazing girl’s first steps

Three things I am enjoying right now:the sound of rain outside,the soundtrack to my favourite musical and a funny youtube clip.
Hope that you all had a lovely Easter Kelle!
I’m enjoying:
1) Spring’s verdant arrival to my ancient stone city.
2) Spending time with new found friends.
3) Knowing that no matter how much I want to be in control, I’m not, and it is a whole lot better that way.
Oh, and morning coffee in the woods is a great addition to seasonal and temporal beverage traditions. 🙂

Enjoying… My two year old sleeping in past 5 am, my 3 month old’s baby breath, and Easter candy!
I’m hoping not to jinx things because we did have snow in Michigan here last monday, but…
I am enjoying:
1)Spring! Spring flowers…my girl noticed them and she almost liked them better than her chocolate bunny! Almost…
2)The excitement at 6:20a Easter morning when we realized the Easter Bunny had been at our house!
3)My girl said her cheeked smelled like the Easter Bunny because he must have kissed her. 🙂
♥
LOVE your new pics!
I enjoyed a quick, short “baby moon” this weekend with my hubby!
So glad Nella is figuring out how to fall asleep by herself. I am not a “let ’em cry it out” kind of mama either, but sometimes you just have no other tricks in your bag. Hope you get some more rest as well.
1. The new little blueberry that is giving me morning sickness
2. That I wasn’t too sick to drink my coffee this morning
3. The way my 16 month old says “more” — “moh-moh” that leaves her mouth in an adorable oh face ~:o
Thanks for always making me smile!
That my husband bought our new house and I still haven’t seen it!
My darling little girl.
Her precious curls.
the warm weather.
Easter Sunday picnic with friends.
our house sold yesterday, no more showings!
I’m enjoying seeing the excitement in my daughter’s eyes as she pulls the colored eggs out of the dye, the sounds and smells of spring outside my kitchen wndow (it’s been a long winter in Michigan), and washing my new china tea cups for a tea party with my little girl. Life is good!
1: My baby sister will be home in 2 weeks for the summer from college
2: Discovering dresses in the back of my closet that I’d forgotten about
3: Being able to sit on my back deck and watch the sun fade behind the hills without needed a winter coat
I am enjoying some tea, pictures from easter weekend and a relaxing morning after all of the festivities.

1. Weather warm enough to maybe go out without a coat later today.
2. My dark chocolate almond milk mocha.
3. Watching my not-so-baby baby put on her own shoes, matching…on the right feet.
Today I’m loving my son’s molars coming in without bothering him, Easter candy, and feeling a new baby kicking at 15 weeks!!! Life is good!!
I am enjoying the Spring weather, Easter fun, and the second book of the Hunger Games trilogy.
Happy Easter, Kelle!
my three things right now are
1. feeling my first baby kick
2. hearing my husband shout at random “we’re having a baby!” regardless of if we are in a crowded store or on a hike alone in the woods
3. tending my first garden! (lots of firsts this year!
thanks for your great blog!
I’m enjoying getting my almost 2 year old up in the morning ever since he moved to a big boy bed (he’s so cute it in!), looking at everyone’s Easter photos, and after Easter candy sales 🙂
ham, my children and easter eggs.
It’s that time again….
1. bubbles with my girl(s) one that’s not furry, and one that is
2. bike rides
3. when all of dinner can be cooked on the grill
Three things I’m enjoying:
1: Life as a mother of a one year old boy. Selfishly I’m enjoying being the only “girl” in the house.
2: Sweet kisses in the morning.
3: Reading a new blog each day as I am trying to stir my creativity.
Really, really really enjoying…
…Robin’s Eggs (as in the suped up Whoppers only available around Easter, not as in appreciating nature – ha)
…my four month old’s newfound squeal (sometimes it is so high pitched, the dog barks; other times, she doesn’t realize she made the sound and looks around like, ‘where did THAT come from?’
…the hum of ceiling fans and open window breezes
Hello Spring…come in, my friend…
I turned 30 over the weekend and I am now LOVING:
1. Being in my 30’s!!
2. My new Canon T3i!
3. My new Kindle!
Enjoying: Warmer weather with evening thunderstorms, time with my hubby cuddling and watching show that make us laugh so hard we can’t breathe, and good friends getting excited about their upcoming weddings!
Three things I’m enjoying right now?…As in right this second? It’s kind of early and my enjoyment of life does not usually begin this early, but here goes.
My cup of ginger tea. My kids keeping each other occupied and not fighting. It finally being warm enough to open my windows.
There…I did it!
I am loving that my last day of work is coming up (more time with my babies), Midwest thunderstorms, and Easter dresses.
getting to spend the weekend with my godbaby, seeing my best friend and getting to hug her, and talking to my nephews on the phone all in one day! it was awesome!
Im still enjoying the celebration yesterday of the promise of Easter.
I am also enjoying spring mornings and sweet baby smiles this morning.
Right now I’m enjoying an easter candy hangover, getting ready for vacation and this beautiful spring weather!!
I’m HAPPY that I only have FOUR weeks left of my pregnancy! I will soon find out if I have a son or daughter! Whew, what a journey it’s been! 🙂
what a cute new sponsor!
i am enjoying:
1. coffee while reading your blog
2. playing in our backyard with my 2 little girls
3. the oldest yelling “mom, go get your camera!”
happy monday!
kinda missed out on easter but i’m enjoying my new 2nd born daughter, born 2wks late on my bday 4/23.
Right now I am enjoying…
1. teaching my 4 yr old how to play WAR
2. watching my 5 month old in his jumperoo
3. watchin the rain fall b/c that means i can stay in my pjs and do mindless things today!!
Sipping coffee in a quite office before the hustle and bustle of the ‘work day’ begins; the way my fiancé holds onto me a little tighter in his sleep while I try to slip out of bed early in the mornings (a girl could hardly feel more loved); the end of a long week when I’m fed, in my jammies and watching a silly movie all snuggled up with my Love, and we have the whole weekend ahead of us.
Hope you had a lovely Easter!
listening to my kinders do the morning news, strong coffee, sweet good morning texts from my hubby.
I am enjoying…every word that comes out of my daughters mouth (she is 2 and it has been such a joy watching her personality develop), knowing that soon I will soon be wearing a replica of my daughters tiny fingerprint everywhere I go (thanks for introducing me to Lisa steinberg’s beautiful necklaces), and the “birdsnest” chocolate things my friend made with her niece and gifted to us (they are chocolate covered cereal with mini colored malted milk balls as eggs – delicious…and I ate one for breakfast – hey there was cereal in there, right?)
oh sooo true!! Coffee and the woods or outdoors = bliss
I love jelly beans, warm sweaters and new TOM shoes!
babblebabe0@yahoo.com
If I am taking you literally RIGH TNOW I am enjoying a delicious french vanilla coffee, much needed rainy morning and your beautiful post & pics.
Three things I am loving right now are friends who I can share my heart with, seeing the joy in my boys face as he realized that E.B. has come to our house and a good piece of banana bread that was made with my son and his friend. Good times!
Loving…
The silly tan lines I have on my legs from my running shorts!! Sun..FINALLY!
This morning’s coffee and blog reading session.
Long weekends!
1. Morning coffee with a golden grahams marshmellow treats bar. OH MY GOODNESS. Super great.
2.Getting groceries….by myself.
3. Snacks with Chris after the girls go to bed!
Having family around for Easter, chocolate, beautiful weather.
Three things I am enjoying:
1. Living/appreciating the moment.
I went and grabbed my husband lunch on a whim who was at home recuperating from the big snip/snip…I drove out to the cutest little farm stand deli in the middle of wine country and picked up some amazing sandwiches. Listening to all the tourists oh and ah over my little slice of heaven. I get to live here….me a lucky girl!!!!
2. Working Out???
I never thought I would say this and it is still hard as ever to get myself to go to the gym but I have been working out regularly and my mood/attitude/outlook…everything is so much better. I can’t even find a way to ignore this side effect of sweating it out in the gym….not to just keep myself going!!
3. My kids……
Always and forever. They are growing up so fast. As my oldest turned 12….one of my bonus kids turned 10 and my littlest one is 15 months. I am afraid of father time passing oh so quickly….so I have started slowing down and relishing every single second I spend with them. When my bonus son cuddled up in my lap and just wanted some loving, I just enjoyed every second, cause he is 10!!! And pretty soon, cuddles with his momma just won’t be cool.
I love middle of the day dates sans children with the love of my life, early morning cuddles in my bed with my two little boys, and reality tv.
Oh and Lainey sitting on the log with her friend whispering her a secret??? Great catch momma!!! What a moment.
(Oh and this post really was not to up my chances of winning one of your drawings….really it wasnt 🙂
1) Feeling my sweet baby James bouncing around in my belly.
2) The quiet of naptime to catch up on my favorite blogs.
3)Sunshine on a day it was “supposed” to rain!
Three things I’m enjoying right now:
Finally some beautiful spring days, family movie nights and mama took a huge nap Easter Sunday and everyone survived…even Daddy! HA!
Three things Iam enjoying right now: drinking a nice cup of cofee, playing with my 2 y.o. son and reading your blog.

a quiet home day
1) I am enjoying the Florida afternoon rain. It has been awhile and we need the refreshing rain.
2) My hubbie finally got a job today after 30 interviews in one month.
3) Both of my nephews. 🙂
1. Feeling my daughter kick inside me and knowing that life, will never be the same from here on out.
2. Watching my wife turn into this person who I have never seen before awaiting the arrival of our daughter
3. Enjoying every moment and second watching my godson grow up.
I am enjoying….the sounds of my children sleeping (or lack of sounds might be a better way to put it), spring and being with my family outside.
I always think your girls are gorgeous, but that second to last photo in this post, the one of Nella… that is super-extra-beautiful. What a BEAUTIFUL girl.
I’m enjoying evening walks at the park, long lazy weekends, and growing a baby.
This is too cute! I’ve ALWAYS had a fear of the Easter bunny. It’s the eyes, I think.
Love all your shots as usual. My granddaughter and I go fishing in the hosta bed out front 🙂 Great for the imagination. And my youngest granddaughter needs to be held really tight for her to fall asleep. Her older sister just does a few minutes cry then she’s out. Guess they are all different.
Your life seems like a perfect little fairytale. I love it…and I think your girls are so precious. Love your blog!!!!!
Right now I am enjoying my first cup of coffee, while I read your post to start off my day. All the while I am listening to the sweet conversation that my twin four year olds are having amongst themselves. And as I read, and drink in a warm cup of jo and your words I am trying to find an opening between baby arms as I feed my one year old his breakfast. Who ever said multi tasking was difficult is a sissy. Happy Saturday! P.S. I heart NY too!
Three things:
1. The rain – it’s rained too much here in the northwest and for some reason the old romantic goth in me still loves the rain. Happy to see it’s raining today!
2. Got2Be Dry shampoo – my hair is the healthiest it’s been in ages and this stuff works better than the Rockstar stuff for half the price
3. Loving that little chicken shirt and the heart hair :o)
