Aruba Honeymoon

7 years ago today our honeymoon in Aruba was coming to an end.  When we got married I wasn't blogging yet so last year on our anniversary I did a post about our wedding and meant to do our honeymoon also but never got around to it, so I've decided to finally do one this year.

During our week in Aruba, we mostly just hung out on the beach or by the pool, but we did do a snorkeling trip, a horseback ride, a "booze cruise", and a drive around the entire island.


About 3 days into our stay, we discovered that our hotel room had its own private terrace upstairs ("Huh...I wonder where these stairs go...Oh!  Look at this!), complete with a BBQ and food prep area and a hot tub.  We never did use the hot tub because it was just too hot except for maybe really late at night and then we were tired.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year.  I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it.  It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods.  So pretty.

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...
