Happy Anniversary

6 years ago I married the love of my life! Our wedding was beautiful and we had fun spending the day with our friends, and the evening with each other. We didn't get married until 7 pm, so it was a long day of not seeing each other!

Some say their wedding day was the happiest day of their life. Ours was fun, but definitely not the happiest. The planning and day-of were full of drama (his side of the family) and caused a lot of headaches.

The REAL happiest days of my life have been the days our beautiful babies were born! Having a wedding is easy, but raising two babies together is something that takes love, support, understanding, and patience.

I never loved him more than the day our first baby was born and I saw how much he loved her! Then of course, it was just as sweet when baby boy came along. I love watching him love our babies, our world.

He works hard so I can stay with them and care for them each day. He is a good man and I am happy to call him MINE!

Happy Anniversary Hubby! I can't wait to spend so many more with you and our little family!

A Very Pink Quilt

I found another quilt in my house that I forgot to share with you! I say "found" because this one is buried in Goldilocks's bed.

 

I actually made this one for her for Christmas two years ago. It has seen a lot of love since then.

 

The fabrics are a beautiful assortment of pinks. I got most of them in a "pink bundle" from an Etsy shop. They are all Amy Butler prints so they are of course, gorgeous. Some of the prints are from my fabric stash, and I threw in a few solids as filler.

 

I let baby girl pick the back and binding fabrics. So yes, they're also pink. She did a good job though. This quilt got a classic grid, outlining the seam lines of all of the squares.

 

It's been washed sooo many times, and used for lots and lots of sleepovers already. I'm glad she still loves it even two years later.

Stone Fire Pit

We received a fire pit as a wedding gift 6 years ago and have used it maybe 3 times. We never spent a lot of time outside and it just sat, rusting, unloved and unused.

 

We're making an attempt to spend more family time outside, so to help us out, Hubby dressed up our little fire pit and made it look more substantial.

 

One afternoon of serious stone stacking and we had a beautiful fire pit that we were ready to use.

 

Nothing fancy, just a sweet circle of blocks in 4 layers surrounding the existing metal fire pit.

 

 

I love how it looks rugged and beautiful too.

 

 

 

It's gotten some good use so far. The babies love a good fire!

 

 

 

Next on the list is adding a couple of stone benches to match, but that's for another day!
