you guys are the WORST!
now i'm either going to give my children away or have two more - bringing my total to four.
i kid. i kid.
thank you so so much. getting that internal debate down on "paper" did relax my brain.
and for all of you who asked about what my farmer thinks - that guy. that guy would have five more baby girls if i was on board. he would wear a double ergo (does such a thing exist?) and wear one baby on his back, one on his front, put one on a seat next to him in the tractor and i don't know what he'd do with the other two...but he's very smart and creative. he'd figure it out.
so, no. he doesn't want to try for a boy. he wants to try for another girl. save me.
i know this is crazy coming from a family of three girls.
all this to say - my farmer is totally happy and in love with kaye and sawyer and would be fine with being done. but he'd be super jazzed to try for another. and by try...you know what i mean.
anyway, while i'm running away from my farmer...

my five -
1 | a birthday
my two best gals have birthdays coming right up. sawyer was born on october 24th and kaye on the 30th. i swore up and down and sideways i wasn't going to do anything but make them a cake this year. those huge parties are just too much damn work and i'm not sure if i'm even having fun. i mean...i am...but i wonder if i would have more fun if it was more about their actual birthday and less about a 50 ft bounce house in our backyard?
regardless...i couldn't help but start to design a little invite. not a real invite...just an invite that i'll soon be adding to my etsy shop. this is your friendly neighborhood reminder...i design custom websites! or you can look at some of my premade ones over in my little esty shop!
2 | speaking of design...
i've been working with some fellow bloggers on a few goodies! my latest was a little design board for a gal starting up a blog called finding fusion. krista is a lawyer by day and moving into the blogging scene...by night? or maybe just in her free time. regardless...she hired me to put together her branding for her blog and i can't wait to see how she incorporates all of it into her new wordpress theme.
we started off with several different logo concepts and color palette directions.
we ended up finalizing with this one!
we also put together her social media covers for facebook and twitter to give her brand a complete look.

call me the biggest nerd ever...but i discovered this show a few weeks ago and i haven't been able to quit it. if you're looking for a fun watch - you can find all the seasons on amazon prime! please note...your husband or significant other probably won't be into it.
yuuuum! i bought these butter leaf lettuce things at costco this week and i just absolutely love them in place of anything bread. this week i used them as a taco shell as well as a bun for a hamburger. not only is it healthier, but a great way to get some extra greens! and seriously...i did not miss the bun or shell. i doubled up the lettuce leaves for added support and it worked wonderfully! try. this.

4 | what's for dinner?
5 | a pictorial recap
how could i not want 25 more little girls? i mean...not only would our house be insane, but i'd probably FINALLY get my own reality show.
I love Sawyer's birthday invitation! You do what you feel like doing when it comes to birthdays. I have found that no matter how themed I try to make a birthday party for my son he never even notices because he is way too busy playing with his buds...Exactly as it should be!
ReplyDeletehappy friday!

Loving your design work - that invite is too cute! Haha, the three debate continues...

SAME. I swore we weren't doing anything for Dorothy's birthday (also Oct. 30!), outside of cake with the grandparents. Somehow, now we're taking a trip to Disney World. She's the luckiest {almost} three year old alive.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had that lettuce before but it sounds yummy! We'll have to give it a try!

I need to look for lettuce things next time I'm at Costco!
ReplyDeleteI meant to comment on your post yesterday about the third baby dilemma. I am in the same spot as you! We just had our 2nd in May of this year. We used to think we wanted 4 but now that we have two (one of each) we're thinking we might be done. But I'm not totally ready to say absolutely yes or no yet! Even if we do decide to have a third, it won't be until our youngest is at least 2, so we still have some time...but I don't know!
ReplyDeleteGirl you crack me up! You will make the right decision for our family. Can't wait to hear what you decide. I hear you on birthday parties! It's crazy! Love your designs. Look great.
ReplyDeleteThose tacos & that burger looked amazing...I'm starving & now I want both of them in my belly right now! Ha! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, pretty lady!
I love your branding work! And everything you do. So talented, girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're hilarious about adding in another kiddo. We will be done after this second one, and I'm 100% okay with that. My husband is totally opposite of your farmer and is 1000% okay with only two. ;)
Have a great weekend!
lol so obviously I missed some discussion about another baby? haha was an interesting intro to read with no background!
