Clothing. Collecting. Washing. Folding. Some of us even manage to put it away occasionally. Somehow this thing is second only to ‘paper’ in the “never ending self-growing piles”. With no idea how, it gets there until it becomes so much it overtakes. While always grateful and thankful for every article gifted or purchased, we have…
Valentine’s at Build a Bear
Bou’s girlfriend + Valentines + Mr. Littlest’s birthday + OMG they have a Olaf and an Elsa! Build a Bear on a Saturday was probably not the smartest mama agreement… but it turned out pretty nice! And no the Big Girls did not get one – they have like 4 each already. 😉 https://web.archive.org/web/20160323214222im_/http://togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-20150214_160311_01.jpg https://web.archive.org/web/20160323214222im_/http://togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-20150214_160308_01.jpg…

Crazy right! https://web.archive.org/web/20160710102234im_/http://i2.wp.com/togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-2015-03-13-20.03.10_0.jpg.jpeg?w=1300 https://web.archive.org/web/20160710102234im_/http://i1.wp.com/togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-2015-03-13-20.00.41_0.jpg.jpeg?w=1300 https://web.archive.org/web/20160710102234im_/http://i1.wp.com/togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-20150210_200259_0.jpg?w=1300 https://web.archive.org/web/20160710102234im_/http://i1.wp.com/togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-20150210_200312_0.jpg?w=1300 https://web.archive.org/web/20160710102234im_/http://i2.wp.com/togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-20150210_195746_0.jpg?w=1300 Very busy and special day – plumbing was installed, Papa surprised him by joining us for dinner at his favorite restaurant – and totally nailed the Captain American gear!
Christmas Eve at the Capital
What did you do on Christmas Eve? We did something we’ve never done. Apparently the Capitol building and some of its rooms are open on Christmas Eve (and probably other nights as well) and since we had to kill time before Midnight Mass it was perfect! https://web.archive.org/web/20160710155214im_/http://i2.wp.com/togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-2015-03-13-21.46.37_0.jpg.jpeg?w=1300 https://web.archive.org/web/20160710155214im_/http://i1.wp.com/togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-pc_20141224_183041_0.jpg?w=1300 https://web.archive.org/web/20160710155214im_/http://i1.wp.com/togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-pc_20141224_183316_0.jpg?w=1300 https://web.archive.org/web/20160710155214im_/http://i0.wp.com/togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wpid-pc_20141224_183327_0.jpg?w=1300 They had little displays in…
Halloween Slacker Mom Style
So lets just cut to the chase. Its like a week before Halloween and I dont have anything. Nadda. Zip. Zilch. Because 2 weeks prior I had the brilliant idea to pose a question to the children that went kinda like this: Me: Hey, so I was thinking, what would yall rather do? Go buy…
Around the ‘stead July Update
To say I have been busy busy is an understatement. You would think we would have a custom built mansion. Alas, that is not the case. So what have you been slaving over Ms Belle? Grab your cup, follow me around and I'll show you! We have a fridge! Yall. Seriously. After 2 years being…
7 Quick Takes – 1/10/2014
1 Wow that is strange to type out! Here when I was just getting used to it being 2013. I have finally figured out why it is so hard to get in the habit of writing the new year. In school, for 13 years, I had to write the date on every paper, 8 subjects a…
A different approach to 2014
Well yall, it’s that time of year again. Hope yall had wonderful holidays with much love and much yummy food. And maybe a day or two of rest mixed in as well. 😉 Now that it’s all over, have you noticed how quickly the next season began? The posting of resolutions, goals, focuses for the…
Our Simple Christmas
How do you downsize to a tiny Christmas easily? Well for us, I’m going to put it bluntly. Have a really crappy “God saved it” kind of Christmas. By “really crappy” I mean “no presents what so ever, bills stacked up, no money to get butter to go with our bread, beans and rice and…
Decorating an off grid house for Christmas
How does a tiny off grid house that’s still under construction decorate for the holidays you ask? I am not entirely sure but am determined to figure it out! So on a cold and foggy day, we kicked up the fire and started. BTW - that picture above was at 3pm when it finally started…
