****shameless amounts of pictures up in here...**** Baby Girl Brown is here!!! I was pretty patient with the waiting until about a week before her due date. When she still wasn't here on her due date, I basically decided that she was never going to come. But she did come (ha! Imagine that!)! She came … Continue reading She’s Here!
When we found out I was pregnant, I was 7 weeks along and we were living in bush Alaska. Since we were so far from civilization and traveling once to see a doctor would cost over a thousand dollars (just to send me, not to send me and Ben), we opted to not see a … Continue reading My Pregnancy: Updates by Trimester
WIP is quilting lingo for Work in Progress. When we were in Alaska, I shared the start of a sewing project that I was doing called La Passacaglia. I figured it was time for an update! Now before you get too excited, just know that...I didn't really get that much done. I know, I know, … Continue reading WIP Wednesday: La Passa Progress
I consider myself to be a pretty low key kind of person. And truth be told, I'm also kinda stingy. So my response to most "absolutely 100% essential can't-live-without" pregnancy items was to figure I'd survive without it. Buuuuuuut....when my sister in law offered to let me try out her pregnancy pillow, I took her … Continue reading DIY Pregnancy Pillow
I love reading. A nerdy and embarrassing amount. Like when I was a young teenager, my mom had to ground me from books. It's sad but true...nothing else would work (!). I worked at a library all through college and then when we were in Alaska, I was in charge of keeping the library relatively … Continue reading Book Reviews: From the Bush
Guys! It's official! We have Internet! Which is a big deal because in our whole lives neither Ben or I have paid for or hooked up Internet. True story. When we lived in Rexburg, we went 2 years without it because we were cheap. And everyone wondered about our sanity. But now we have it! … Continue reading And Then There was Internet…
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I've discovered something. Teachers are more excited about summer than the kids are. Fact. Or at least that's been the case with me! I'm SO excited! Today is our last full day in Pilot Point. We'll be flying out tomorrow, (it's the bush so it's almost obligatory to add: weather permitting) right after we … Continue reading Summer Time
Ben and I are coming very close to finishing our time out here in the bush! We aren't coming back to teach next school year because Ben is going to grad school! He's been accepted to Northern Arizona University and will be working towards a Masters of Arts in Teaching Spanish (phew! It's a mouthful!). … Continue reading Same and Different: If The Browns do the Bush Again
Here's a tour of our house for anyone who's curious! Now, I think it used to be a thing in the bush that teachers didn't have to pay for their housing. And that's not really the case any more...at least not anywhere I've seen. We do pay rent, but it's a pretty good deal and … Continue reading Our House Here in the Bush
La Passacaglia (la pass-uh-cal-yuh). A.k.a. My sewing project. A.k.a. My sewing project that just might take me 10 years to complete. But I'm loving it! Truthfully 🙂 **Long Post Warning: scroll through if you just want to see the pics:) I first saw the La Passacaglia quilt on Pinterest and I totally fell in love … Continue reading La Passacaglia: My Sewing Project
