instafriday #6



we had our last football game last week. lost in the semi-finals :( 
but this little one still had a blast, and no idea that we lost. that made daddy happy.


saturday i made two wreaths. one for the door and one for the entry wall. 
i love when i start and finish projects in a just a few hours. 
it makes me feel so accomplished.



wrapped a few gifts...

made a few hoops
[2 of those are on their way right now to a lucky friend who doesn't even know it. surprise!]
you can buy your own here

how cute is this packaging? i love doilies and yarn.

she is obsessed with trains. i think i've mentioned that a few times on here

best cookies ever. recipe from here 
[although i switched out the cranberries for walnuts. i don't love fruit in my cookies]

and, last but not least, finishing up some hoops for danielle. 
they'll be shipping out today 
[finally! she's been sooo patient with me]
check out the progress on her baby's room.
these are going to look so cute, huh?
yet again, a shameless link to the shop,
if you want to buy your own :)

don't forget to check out my "suggested reading" for the weekend.
until Monday, my friends!

when you feel like a failure.

well. this post is hard for me to write. because i feel a little bit like a failure, but mostly an imposter . remember when i told you about Babywise , and i even posted a video all about how to get your child to sleep through the night and acted like i was this expert? yeah... well it turns out i'm not. you know how i have a ten month old baby? and, you know how she wakes up once or twice every night? some of you are thinking  well, duh. and i told you so . but here's what i want you to know:  it's really hard for me to admit defeat.  i want to share my heart with you; the deep, dark, ugly, and triumphant parts, and i just want you to hear me . i hope you'll honor that. i almost turned off the comments except that i want to leave them open for anyone that might be struggling like i was. so, do you remember when i wrote about  how i haven’t slept in almost a year  and how i feel like there’s no end in sight. you guys, sleep-deprivation is something that i don
