{personalized water bottle and name puzzle: c/o stuck on you}
well. the goings-on lately. all terribly interesting, i know. where do i even begin?
can i start by giving a shout-out to those ranunculus at the top? they are still alive and i’m shocked daily when i come down and the petals aren’t scattered below. how long are they supposed to last anyway? it was $6 well spent. thank you ranunculus and thank you trader joes.
we’ve had a busy week or so. the kid’s grandmother was out for a bit as well as our dear friend jessica. it was so nice to see the both of them even though it was too short-lived (a blizzard in boston cancelled their first flight. thanks a lot, boston!). we did a few fun things, stayed up late talking, eating good food, and then they were swiftly brought back to the airport. too fast, too fast.
spring may be here, but boston’s not showing it yet. we were in full view of the grass until UNTIL it snowed again and now… grass be gone. i’m still crossing my fingers that we’ll have some magical 80-degree weather this month.
steve has taken it upon himself to be this like handsome domestic god and last weekend tore the house apart gathering every piece of dirty laundry, doing about thirteen loads in one day (matching socks included!), and finishing only once everything was folded. i’m afraid to say anything for fear he will stop (cause it seems he’s still on a roll… doing three loads today!) but i do wonder if this says more about the snail’s pace at which i tend to do laundry (or the plethora of unmatched socks he has in his drawers) then his sudden enjoyment of doing laundry. either way, i’m going to let him keep going and see how long this lasts.
annnnd that’s a wrap.
{except for this! a note about stuck on you: they have a ton of personalized things, really cute things. they’d make adorable gifts or even some personalized goodies stuck in your kids’ easter basket. i think the name puzzles are especially a favorite of mine.}

We are kindred spirits you and I. I positively despise laundry and will easily let the pile get as tall as I am. Or when one of us runs out of necessities, like socks &/or underwear. Though, I do go through spurts where I do ten loads a day & fold it and then pile it in a laundry basket on the floor instead of putting it away. Domestic goddess, I am not.
We've been getting snow sprinkles in Michigan, but nothing that's really stuck. It's just been so so cold lately. Yesterday was just bitter and I swear it was the coldest it had been ALL winter.
bridget says
dude, i hate it. but, like you, i'm way better at the washing/drying/folding then the putting away! i can live out of a laundry basket way too long.
Megan says
Stephen does the same thing Steve does with the laundry…just one random day goes crazy and does it all form start to finish. I try to explain i dont do it all because we have no place to put all of the clean clothes so some of them NEED to stay in the laundry basket. That is my case and I am sticking to it.
bridget says
steve and stephen, stephen and steve.
also, i like your alibi. it works for me.
gaylene says
haha…Megan, I never thought of that excuse before, but I'm going to have to use that one. On those rare five minutes when the laundry baskets are completely empty and everything's put away, there's not always room for the clean stuff 🙂
CaseyWiegand says
I love you! This makes me miss you even more!!!! Any chance you want to move to Texas?
bridget says
there's always a chance!!! (it might be a small chance, but it's something, right?!)
Lauren {everyday ATLAS} says
13 loads?!!? I would just sit with my head in my hands and cry. Go super husband go!!! Also, I am liking all of these new hazy edged photos. I'm guessing it is a photoshop action? Either way… you are getting so good at this photography thing.
bridget says
he almost…. enjoyed it?! and thanks! playing around w/ photoshop a lot these days.
Chelsea says
Laundry is never ending, isnt it?! Steve taking it all on — well done, well done!!
Alex says
Um hi. Parker is such a little model it kills me. I'm going to steal him.
You've been warned.
bridget says

kristin says
Ok, I couldn't comment on the video you posted "Yes To Love" so I'm telling you here…I bawled my eyes out!! What an incredible story….thanks for sharing, girl!
bridget says
it's the best, isn't it?
Alex says
Loooooove Parker's Beatles shirt!!
bridget says
