The Kirks take over NH

Or the other way around!

After our quick trip to NH, I felt slightly dominated.

Let's start with the day before our trip when we were trying to clean out the fridge and finding something to make for dinner was a bit challenging. Well we did it! Mashed potatoes, corn, and chicken. Not bad right? Until the next day.....

Our flight didn't leave until 9PM but both Brandon and I were texting each other all day about our upset stomach rendezvous! Brandon gets home from work and immediately hugs the toilet for an hour. I, on the other hand, was going in and out of feeling good and not.

We managed to make it to the airport and board the plane in one piece.

A little piece of advice: just because your slightly under 2 year old flies free until they are 2 does not mean it is comfortable or feasible! When he was younger it was definitely doable but almost 2 was extremely challenging.

Prepare for landing........or more like me getting sick in a seat with the fasten seatbelt sign on! Yep the remains of our dinner from the night before came out all over me, the plane, and our carry ons! Just glorious!!!

The first day and a half were all about catching up on sleep and mending our food poisoned stomachs! Thankfully Zeke didn't have any of the mashed potatoes that we finally ruled were BAD!

Finally we were all back to normal and having a great time. It was so good to see everyone and introduce Zeke to them! We hadn't been back there since Zeke was born so we had a lot of catching up to do.

We were able to partake in birthday parties, see all the family including my sister in law and her wife all the way from London, enjoy ourselves, and most definitely eat lots of lobsters!

Zeke even got to see the snow fall and play a little bit in it.

Our trip definitely flew by! Until next time......

Cruisin'

One of my best friends is getting married so in getting married style we had to have the bachelorette party. Her and her fiancé met on a cruise ship while both working, so going on a cruise was very fitting! We took a short little 3 day (booze) cruise. It was a lot of fun, my first time on ship/cruise, and I'm glad it's over.....wedding time! Brandon had the kids all weekend and did an amazing daddy daycare job, even with activities and sports and all! He's super dad in my eyes!

Weekend project

I have had this vintage window frame for quite some time now. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it but have received lots of opinions and feedback on how to mount the picture. I had heard mount the picture on something sturdy before stapling it to the window, cut the picture into 6 boxes and have it touch the glass since there's a gap in the back, or my original and easy idea of just stapling the picture to the back of the window. That is exactly what I did and it was the easiest thing ever. I cannot believe I waited so long to get it on and up! I am completely obsessed with it and finally have a wedding picture up in our house. On to the next project......

Tour de Zeke's Room

We have been working on Zeke's room for what seems like forever. We painted and set up his big boy bed tons of blog posts ago. His room is now presentable. I say presentable because we still have some things we would like to do, add, and buy! We decided on a vintage vehicle theme. It went from vintage cars to vintage vehicles because, of course, the themes I choose are not so popular. I found a vintage car print I liked on etsy but everyone said the fabric was too hard to make as sheets or the cut they had wasn't long enough for a full size bed. After all that I thought going with solid colors would be a great idea. I ordered a duvet cover, pillow shams, a bed skirt, and a blanket from Restoration Hardware. I got them home, put them on the bed with some navy blue sheets and thought "eh"!!! I kept it up for awhile but hated it!!! It was so boring, the down comforter wouldn't stay in place in the duvet cover, and it was so heavy and hard Zeke didn't want to ...
