Hour by Hour:

 

  • 7 – Having a new baby is like Christmas morning, every morning
  • 8 – Hot breakfast for a rainy day + Chooo! Chooo!
  • 9 – Morning nap (can I join you?) + Homepreschool (is that a word?)
  • 10 – Our favorite little horse friends on the way to Lulu’s groomerย + Dressing my Dolly
  • 11 – The most delicious dose of Vit C we like to call, ‘An Orange Fluffy’
  • 12 – Homehaircuts (definitely not a word) + Lickish (also not a word) for a reward
  • 1 – Lunch time! It’s quinoa salad, just in case you were wondering
  • 2 – Back to the groomer to pick up Love-bug
  • 3 – The objective for an afternoon walk? Picking the ladies some wildflowers
  • 4 – New sunnies (1 | 2) for summer + Giving them a test drive (yay? nay?)
  • 5 – Rainy afternoon movie and munchies
  • 6 – Justifying the drive-thru… Because you guys!? Lettuce-wrapped hamburgers? Meep!
  • 7 – Boys bathing baby at bedtime (a new tongue-twister of sorts). It was a great day!

    Love reading your posts! Your kids are so adorable

  • Rachel May 14, 2015 at 4:53 am

    Please say you’ll do a post on how you cut your boys hair? That would save us SO much money! And it looks so cute… did you have professional training?

    • missy May 19, 2015 at 8:54 pm

      No pro by any means! I’d be happy to put together a little tutorial! ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Danae May 24, 2015 at 3:17 am

      YES! I would love to see a tutorial on how you cut your boys’ hair. I have 3 boys and I cut their hair myself, but I like to give them a bit of style as opposed to a buzz.

  • Mandi May 14, 2015 at 4:53 am

    If you could only see my smile! LOVE 12 hours!

  • Hannah May 14, 2015 at 4:55 am

    Mama, you are doing awesome! I know you’re still probably recovering from your health issues – candida is a long road. And please take it easy. If you go away again, we’ll all know why! I’m still praying.

    • missy May 19, 2015 at 8:54 pm

      Thank you for your continued support! Means the world that you guys don’t put added pressure on me!

  • Sue May 14, 2015 at 4:56 am

    Her face has already changed so much! She is filling out just as cute as a little bug! AHH!

  • Laura May 14, 2015 at 5:43 am

    Aw, you had your baby. Wow, she’s got such pretty dark hair. What a sweetie. Sorry you are sick. I went through something similar the past few years. No fun with little babes.

  • Camille May 14, 2015 at 5:58 am

    Such precious moments!! ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Michelle May 14, 2015 at 11:51 am

    So cute! Looks like a great day. Can you share the details for the bassinet? It’s adorable!

    Xo, Michelle

    • missy May 19, 2015 at 8:56 pm

      Michelle, it’s an antique that I found right before she was born for only $30! Keep your eye out… I bet you can find something similar, maybe even on craigslist?

  • Brittany @ LemonLimeLife May 14, 2015 at 12:12 pm

    Remi looks just like her Daddy! Shes changed so much in these past few weeks and I can’t wait to watch her grow along with the boys. Hope you are feeling better ๐Ÿ™‚

    • missy May 19, 2015 at 8:56 pm

      I thinks so too!

  • Megan May 14, 2015 at 1:05 pm

    Adorable, what memories you are making! What kind of bassinet do you have and bath in the sink for the babe. Can you do a post of your favorite baby products. I am expecting my first and overwhelmed with all the products out there! Love the bassinet! Thank you!! Xoxo

    • Kim May 19, 2015 at 2:09 pm

      The tub looks like a puj tub. Depending on your sink they are great for newborns!

    • missy May 19, 2015 at 8:57 pm

      Congratulations, Megan! I’d be happy to put together a list of some of my favorite baby items. The bassinet is a little gem I found at an antique store and the tub is by puj – couldn’t live without it!

  • Hannah May 14, 2015 at 1:49 pm

  • Laureen May 14, 2015 at 6:25 pm

    You’re ‘hours’ are so beautiful. ๐Ÿ™‚ I can’t believe how big your little ‘doll’ is already. Our big brother is ALWAYS grabbing and kissing little sister’s hands, it’s the sweetest (usually). Definitely need me a lettuce-wrapped burger, stat!!

  • Lori May 14, 2015 at 9:02 pm

    You are doing the most important work in the world in that home, and it is beautiful. Remi looks just like her daddy! I hope you are feeling better and gaining strength each day. I love your floors! I was such a dark wood floor fan, but you have completely converted me! I hope you are getting some sleep. I remember those days so well. My two boys and a girl are 14,16 and 18. It goes by in the blink of an eye. xo

  • Amy Morris May 14, 2015 at 9:48 pm

    Love! Love your photography too! What do you usually keep your settings at?

    • missy May 19, 2015 at 9:02 pm

      It completely depends on the light in the room or outdoors; but I keep my f-stop around 1.8-2.5 typically and lowest ISO possible.

  • Mariel May 15, 2015 at 1:55 am

    Love these posts! Can you share the recipes for your “orange fluffy” and quinoa salad? They look like great healthy options!

    Love, love your 12 hour posts. ๐Ÿ™‚ Such beautiful photos.
    Totally off topic, but are you still using apple cider vinegar as part of your regimen after pregnancy? I just started this week after reading your nighty night post. ๐Ÿ™‚

    • missy May 19, 2015 at 9:03 pm

  • B May 18, 2015 at 2:43 am

  • Elizabeth May 18, 2015 at 3:37 am

    Wonderful! Love your red top…details? You’re so good at finding fluid, loose tops.

    orange fluffy recipie please?

  • Traci A May 20, 2015 at 1:26 am

    Are your countertops carerra? We’re doing a kitchen remodel and I’m scared of it but you have littles
    And cook so often, any regrets?
    They also look like they could be silestone or quartz? Any hints? Much appreciated!

    • Carrie May 29, 2015 at 3:08 am

      Hi Traci, I remember her posting an image with selections/fixtures/etc for her new kitchen and they were quartz countertops. I have quarts and LOVE it compared to granite ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Hannah May 23, 2015 at 5:54 pm

    You are so awesome! I love these posts! I’m obsessed!! Hehehe love the blog!
