One of my favorite Instagram photos from the week.
January 27th: As I mentioned in this post, Kelly is taking a cake decorating class for 4-H. We’be been practicing, practicing, practicing! If you have any helpful tips, please pass them along. She has really taken to it and is having a lot of fun!
January 28th: 70 degrees today, which is amazing for January! This is a typical view from my front door when it’s nice outside… tons of neighbor kids all playing together. I love where we live!
January 29th: Sunny and 70 yesterday, cold and rainy today. I spent some time playing around with the light in different parts of my house. This is my favorite picture from my play time.
January 30th: I took one month of being with us, but Meg finally decided the bed we bought her was a pretty comfy place to be. (Little did I know that this was the start of her being a little bit sick… she had a tummy bug for the rest of the week.)
January 31st: She seemed so big to me today. She’s growing up quicker than I’m ready for!
February 1st: We have the sweetest neighbors who invite the neighbor kids over every year to decorate Valentine’s Gingerbread Houses. Even though their own kids are grown and out of the house, they carry on this fun tradition with the rest of us. It’s one of my favorite nights of the year.
February 2nd: Spent pretty much the entire day “Spring Cleaning”. Since the groundhog predicted spring is near, I thought I’d get a head start on the cleaning. Lord knows my house could use it!
Remember you can see outtakes of our week on Instagram, Facebook and Flickr!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
Letters Numbers and Books oh my says
great pictures! Can you believe the wacky weather we’ve been having. Such a up and down roller coaster.

I know – it has been so nuts. I would much rather have the warm, naturally, but I wonder if that’s why everyone is getting so sick this year. Craziness!
Liz @ The Lemon Bowl says
That is so cute that the neighbors have you over even though their own kids are grown!!!! So fun. 🙂
Kristen says
They are the best!
Myra @ MyBlessedLife.net says
Fabulous photos!! I love that you live in such a great neighborhood! 🙂
Kristen says
Thanks so much, Myra! We are really lucky.
Michelle @ Taste As You Go says
Every time I see your Project 365 posts, I’m tempted to start doing this myself. And a few days later, I kick myself for failing to take one photo. 😉
Kristen says
🙂 I totally know what you mean! I love doing it, but sometimes it takes a lot of effort to remember to take a picture! (Hence, the picture of Windex 😉 )
Ali | Gimme Some Oven says
I love that picture of Kelly and her heart! She looks so sweet!
So glad that you are Project 365-ing this year.
Kristen says
Thanks, Ali. She is a sweetie and loves cake decorating!
Amy Allen Clark says
Oh, I love all of these pictures especially the one of your daughter piping and the sweet tradition with your neighbors!! Beautiful, as always, Kristen! xoxo
Kristen says
Thanks, Amy 🙂 Your cheerleading makes me smile 🙂
Katrina @ In Katrina's Kitchen says
Oh Kristen these are some of my favorite posts of yours! I am so nosy 🙂
Kristen says
Haha – nosy = interested. And I’ll take that. Thanks Katrina!
Amanda says
You know I love seeing pictures of your kids… they are so precious! But, if I were being truly honest, there is probably nothing you would take a picture of I wouldnt like! 🙂
Kristen says
I now feel a challenge to take some pictures of some really really ugly things, just for you 😉
jennyonthespot says
You even make Windex look sexy. You’re the BOSS.
Natalie @ Cooking for My Kids says
That picture of Leah is just breathtaking, Kristen! I cannot believe how fast she is growing, either. I still remember the IM from you telling me that you were pregnant! I adore this weekly post of yours!
Kristen says
That seems like so long ago, yet yesterday at the same time!
Robyn Stone | Add a Pinch says
I love all of these photos, Kristen! Especially the one of Leah! Oh my gosh! Heart-stoppingly gorgeous.
Kristen says
Thanks, Robyn! 🙂
Kim | At Home With Kim says
Great pictures, as always. LOVE sweet Meg in her bed. And love the neighborhood party. SO sweet!!!
Kristen says
Thanks Kim! It was a big day for all when Meg finally loved her bed. She hardly gets out of it now 🙂
Mrs. L says
Great photos. I’m doing Project Life this year (have sort of been doing it for years) but I’m finding myself going “work on Project Life or bake some cookies”…it’s always a challenge to make up my mind.
Kristen says
Oh I’m doing project life too and love it! Are you using a specific theme for it or making your own?
Mrs. L says
Combo of both. I bought the Clementine Kit over a year ago and use that binder and some of the journal cards…but I find they are a bit limited (especially since they are the older versions of just a simple design and some lines-the newer versions are much cooler) so I use a lot of my own scrapbooking stash, I have a PL kit club subscription from Studio Calico and download some stuff from the internet. I’m actually doing two Project Life binders…the general one and a dinner one…where I photograph my main dinner entree for a year (the journal cards just have the name of the dish and list restaurant or cookbook made from-trying to keep that one simple).
