photos from m{i} phone

The last 4 Fridays I have downloaded photos from my iPhone and posted them here on my blog. All the photos that I post can also be seen on my Instagram feed…I am @homeisablog. (find out more about Instagram here)

I like the idea of having the week captured in glimpses through my iPhone. I use it for most of my snapshot taking during the day…it is almost always in my pocket.

I am also participating in a photo a day challenge on Instagram, so some of the photos you see may be kind of random. You can read more about the challenge here. If you’re in Instagram, join in! If you’re not on Instagram, get on Instagram, and join in!

I hope you are enjoying the photos.

Here are some from the last week…

the little guy said

Yesterday morning the little guy wanted to tell Ryan something. I knew that Ryan was on a flight to California, so I suggested that we send him a text that he could read once he landed…

inspired…

…by another Craft Weekend!

I don’t know how Meg does it!

I’ve pinned some of my favorites to my Pinterest boards.

For those of you not on Pinterest I will share them with you here…

I’m still thinking of hosting a craft weekend of my own somewhere at the Oregon Coast…wouldn’t that be fun?!

By the way, I haven’t been blogging as much because I have been completely obsessed with some projects in my home. Hopefully I will be able to blog about them pretty soon.

Thanks for sticking with me…

home is…inspiration.

home is…celebrating holidays with the kids.

the little guy said

This afternoon Ryan was working from home.

The little guy and I had spent quiet time together and he was ready for a snack.

He remembered the treats we got earlier today and reminded Poppa about them.

Poppa said he had to do some work in his office.

I told the little guy that he could eat his treat with me.

He replied, “I’ve spent enough time with you already.”

The little guy and Ryan retreated into Ryan’s office to eat their treats…with the door closed.

 

the good or the bad news first?

First off, Happy Valentines Day!

Here it goes.

The bad news…

there were only 3 people who entered the february {colton+cadence} giveaway.

I can understand that without photos of what you would actually win why you may not enter. So, for March, I will be sure to have the dolls made BEFORE I post the giveaway.

That being said, here’s the good news…

because I am feeling the LOVE today I will be giving all three of you a {colton} or {cadence} doll!

So, Megan, Kelly & Kam, please contact me at homeis {at} stephanytaddeo {dot} com and let me know which one you would like…{colton} or {cadence}!

home is…LOVE!

self photo challenge

Today I am linking up with The Paper Mama for her Self Photo Challenge…

Obsessing over…

why my calves and feet are aching constantly for the last two days. was it the shoes i wore? is it my lack of exercise? do i need more water? more magnesium? more potassium?

Working on…

getting art hung up on our walls. it’s only taken 4 years.

Thinking about…

how to get an my life organized. my house and life feel a bit scattered lately. at home i feel like ikea, toys r us, and michaels exploded all over. in my brain i feel like i want to do so many things and i just need to get it all organized on paper.

Anticipating…

Ryan coming home tomorrow and having a fun weekend with him and the kids.

Listening to…

my little guy tell me that he doesn’t feel well with Cat in the Hat in the background. (he just drank his “quiet time” hot chocolate)

Eating…

nothing right now. worked out and ate some almonds afterwards. drinking water.

Wishing…

for more time. but reminding myself to be thankful.

home is…following the lead of another Pacific Northwest blogger!

february {colton+cadence} giveaway

Ryan gave me an idea the other night and I am going to run with it.

Do you remember the dolls I made for my kiddos?

I have tweaked the pattern a bit to make it my own and am ready to try it out!

Since I am not ready to start up my etsy shop quite yet, but still love to create, I am going to give away one {colton} and one {cadence }doll each month!

The dolls will be dressed in fabric to coordinate with the holiday or season of the month.

So, for February they are all about…LOVE!
