This past weekend, KJ was baptized. After the baptism, we had friends and family gather at our home for brunch. It was such a special celebration. By tradition, kids are baptized at age eight in the LDS religion. Because KJ is almost 10, he took lessons from the missionaries and made the decision to be baptized on his own, by his request. I adore his desire to be good, and cherish his genuine, pure heart.

To celebrate, I used a white on white theme to go along with the purity of the ceremony. For brunch we served all of KJ’s favorites – white powdered donuts, a crepe bar with all the yummy sides,

last september we had our family pictures by blue lily photography. at the same time they shot a little video of us. i absolutely adore those blue lily peeps, and if you haven’t checked out their site – you should. they are currently touring the world teaching photography and shooting incredible photos in the process. they may be near you soon! they will be in boston again this Fall.

each time i watch this video i catch myself smiling from beginning to end. so many little things that you might not notice that happen every day in our family are caught on tape.

hope you enjoy the video.

as much as i love routine and traditions, i also love doing really random things that are brand new.

for example, going to the beach for a picnic in february…

as i mentioned in my last post, my kiddos had a week long vacation. we spent our time playing with lots of friends, visiting museums, going to movies, and running around the beach in our wellies.

enjoy the weekend! here in massachusetts, our kids are starting their february vacation. they have the next nine days off! one of my myla’s best friends is flying out from utah to spend the week with us, so we are having a stay-cation. it’s good to have visitors because it encourages us to get out and sight see! any recommendations for things we should see or do around boston that we have maybe not done yet? do you have any plans?

cheers to happiness! xo.

creating change. since i took down my christmas decorations i’ve been craving change. something new. specifically: a new large piece of art. so, this is what i did:

i picked up a 36″ x 48″ white canvas with my 40% off coupon from JoAnns. i chose some new thick wool yarn in an almost-ombre selection of colors + red, and started wrapping my canvas! the red was chosen in honor of valentines day.

all you need:

canvas
yarn
scissors

when the blizzard came to town, i had plenty of time to wrap yarn around a canvas!
