Our Grown Up Master Bedroom

Early on in our relationship, Chris and I have had a lot of fun decorating, redecorating and remodeling.  In our old house we did pretty major stuff like adding hardwoods and completely re-doing a master bath.  Most recently, we flipped our existing kitchen from a traditional style to a more modern transitional style. Throughout all…

Adios, Paci

Thanks to a new family member on the way, Oscar gets to fast track his “big boy” plans.  We have a number of things we’d love to happen before August including potty training (omg, does it ever end?), big boy bed (I’m certainly not buying a new crib now, and Oscar is the size of…

Bruns: Party of 5

Now that I’ve broadcast our news to Facebook, I think the whole world knows.  We are so excited to be having another baby and that this time we are thinking pink! For anyone who is interested, here’s our journey the past several months. Chris and I decided about a year ago that we definitely wanted…

Showering Baby Knox

Today, we got to celebrate Baby Knox Cavett Scarborough, the first baby for my friend soulmate, Jess.  Jess married her lobster last April and the two wasted no time growing their family to five!  I couldn’t be more excited that Jess is going to be a #boymom. I have a little bit of experience in…

Happy Valentine’s Cake

I don’t like missing out on things. “Things” is a broad spectrum.  I don’t like it when I’m out of town and miss Book Club. I barely slept in the hospital when Oscar was born because I didn’t want to miss him being awake (why this happened on baby #2 is beyond me. They are…

Young Chef’s Cooking Academy

We’ve been in between sports since November. I’m not going to lie, the break from 2 practices a week and insane weekends of games has been very welcome.  We’ve even decided to break up our sports a little and not do two at a time (for now). So, until t-ball starts in the spring, we’re…

Walt is 5!

They say it goes by so fast, but how in the world did I end up with a 5 year old! I remember being pregnant with Walt like it was yesterday! He seems to have gone from toddler to little boy in the blink of an eye. But, what a charming and lovable little boy…

Happy New Year (Eve)!

We have come to terms with the fact that New Year’s Eve will be celebrated a little differently than we used to. I know it’s a short-lived thing, and dare I say I kind of enjoy the low-key celebration? Someday the boys will want to stay up until midnight (or at least 11) and watch…

Christmas 2015

Merry Christmas, y’all!  I’ll admit it! I love Christmas! I love the hustle and bustle. I love all the gift shopping. I love the decorating. And, now that we have kids, I just LOVE seeing Christmas through their eyes.  Don’t get me wrong, I get overwhelmed like the best of us, but I truly try…

Grammy Girl Christmas

I love how this time of year forces us to acknowledge all of our friends and family.  These girls. They are framily. They are the ones you can pitch your wildest ideas to: “Wanna go to Vegas to see Britney?”; “Wanna go to Mexico…next month??”; “Wanna Netflix and chill?”; or even something as simple as,…
