Favorites From Spring

So happy spring finally arrived! Here are some of my personal favorite photos I have taken so far this spring. It started out pretty cold but now everything is green and beautiful.











Now for the warm summer days, I am so excited!

A New Normal

It has taken awhile for me to get used to living here at the farm since we moved about a year ago. I was adjusting to life with a new baby boy (who didn't like to sleep) so my life was turned upside down even that much more.

 Now we have a new rhythm, Isaac is pretty much sleeping through the night, and weaned for the most part (breastfeeding was insanely stressful, especially when you are not blessed with a fabulous milk production), and life feels like it is back to normal.  Or a new normal anyway, a better normal.

It truly is pretty out here in the country.







 Happy Mother's Day, we are going out for ice cream at Culver's, my favorite.  Love spending time with my little family.  And my daughter is probably going to pick even more of these dandelions, she thinks they are amazing and loves giving them to me, the look on her face when she does melts my heart.

Creamy Lace Curtains

Love these creamy ivory lace curtains at my parents' house, I really want to buy my own just so I can photograph them.

Spring Has Finally Arrived in Wisconsin

Spring in finally here in Wisconsin, yeah!



 As you can see, my kids look like they could care less. My son is even giving me "the bird". Or so it seems.
Happy spring everybody!

Hopeful For Spring!

The temps here in Wisconsin are barely getting out of the 30s and 40s, so it still feels like winter here. The other day Lucy wanted to play outside with the farm dog Bruce, so I bundled her up and off she went. They looked so cute together so I snapped some pics through the warmth of my living room window. It sure looks like it could be warm outside with the sun shining and the green grass slowly popping through in spots here and there, so we are very hopeful that spring will be here soon.

I Like to Be Mentally Prepared

Isaac is going through this stage now where he has to take off his socks, it's a miracle if he keeps his socks on for more than 5 minutes. I fear we might have a potential child stripper on our hands, you know, the kid that can't stand wearing clothes and leaves trails of his clothing all around. The other day I put him down for his afternoon nap, which he did not take (he's transitioning into one nap a day so sometimes he takes it and sometimes not). So I go to pick up my crying boy, and after carrying him awhile, I realize his left arm is completely out of his sleeve, which means he must have pulled it out himself.



 So then I start imagining him being a little older, running around bare naked in our backyard with the dirty farm dog, with me running after him. Then I start thinking of potential punishments to give him, for something he hasn't even done yet. Am I the only mom that does this? Probably, but I like to mentally prepare myself for things.

Having a boy is just so different from girls, I mean, Lucy was really good. Terrible twos...never had them. In fact, two was my favorite stage for her, she was so cute and fun. But Isaac is just so different, and so naughty, I definitely have my hands full with this one.



 So now I am in the process of teaching my girl how to use my camera, because if Isaac does run around naked in my backyard, I want footage but I'll be too busy running after that bare bum to capture it. I mentally figured out that the best punishment would be to show those pictures to his future friends and potential girlfriend when he is older. And I mean much much older.

Thinking of my little boy with a girlfriend is making me sad. Okay, I'm going to go cry now.
