Speaking of Twilight, did you ever see this gorgeous photo shoot dreamed up by Lina Wallace and Heather Ham? Lots of delicious eye candy to enjoy! Don’t you just love the green apples?

Paging All Twilight Supermoms

The Groom

There’s a BIG wedding tonight, and you’re all invited! How many of you Supermoms are Twilight fans? I’m not a weirdo fanatic who vacations to Fork, Washington to hunt vampires, but I did enjoy reading the books, and I especially enjoy going with my pals to the midnight premiers of each of the movies. Tonight…

Nesting

OGE-Birdsnest-04

Who wants a giant bird’s nest in their house? I do! The better question is where to put it? Since all our kids seem to find their way into our room each night, perhaps we should just replace our bed with something like this? Or maybe instead of the sofa?? Where would you put this…

Piano Shopping

Refreshing Green | Boden Inspired Fun Turquoise | Distressed Black | Pretty Blue Although I have been accused of over scheduling my boys (which is a topic for another day), I hope my boys will continue to take some kind of music class until they can play every song in our church’s hymn book. Since…

Halloween on My Mind

HalloweenOnMyMind

So I know it’s just the first of September, but I’ve already got Halloween on my mind. Each year I host an All Hallow’s Eve dinner party — it’s a big deal, and I have to start planning plenty early. I’ve been collecting ideas over on Pinterest, which I love. If you haven’t tried it…

Crazy for Zig Zags

CrazyforZigZags

Ever since I bought that adorable black and white shift dress for Piper to wear in our family pictures a few years ago, I’ve been crazy about the simple yet bold zig-zag pattern. It even graced the back of little Modette’s recent birth announcements. Thanks to the wide availability of Premier Prints ZigZag fabric, I’m…

Fresh + Modern Growth Chart

With Liam’s fifth Birthday behind us, I can’t help but think about how quickly he is growing. Although I always record his height from his annual check-up, I decided that this year I wanted to begin a new tradition of measuring our boys each year on their Birthday. I liked the thought of something tangible…

Meet Baby Apple

Bettijo Got a Mac!

No, I haven’t decided to name my child after Gwyneth’s little one… I finally got my iMac!!! Would you excuse a little fawning over my new computer? I’ve been pining for an iMac for years now, and saved to buy one several times, but alas there is always another priority that swoops in. Last year…

Super Swimming Goggles

I’ve mentioned before my boys have been in swimming lessons for quite some time. It’s been a fabulous experience, yet there is one thing Liam likes most about swimming: his goggles. I have more and more friends ask me about my boys’ goggles, as they fit them perfectly, don’t leak and are simply adorable. Here’s…

Crochet Anyone?

My best friend from high school came to visit from Utah and brought along this AMAZING blanket she made. I didn’t know that she’d taken up crocheting, but I’m super impressed! I’m so in love with her blanket — not your typical grandmother’s afghan at all, but totally modern and funky. It’s enough to make…
