I have happily made my kids (and my best friend’s kids) ornaments the past two Christmases. This Christmas, I had a SNAFU with the paint-your-own pottery place and it didn’t happen. Luckily, I thought of a different fun thing to make for the kids: Super Hero Shirts! Piecing together info from tutorials on APPLIQUE (hate [...]
Endure. That is the name of the game I'm playing this week. I've got some sort of funky not-quite-a-cold thing … it's sort of lingering in my throat and upper respiratory area. Just a bit of a sore throat and some throat-clearing coughing. But I'm not stuffed up … knock on wood. Thank goodness, because [...]
I didn’t drop off the face of the earth (swear) … I’ve just been enjoying Christmas and all that comes with it. We had a very lovely Christmas and the many festivities surrounding it. We got to spend lots of time with friends and family. The kids had an absolute BLAST. They got [...]
Here's what I've been up to. Wonder if I've been more naughty or nice? • taking Tabby to 2x weekly swim lessons (last one tonight!!) • sending off our holiday cards • watching Tabby perform at her Christmas program (soooo cute!) • neglecting laundry • sneaking out for a nice dinner with Matt • neglecting [...]
I doubt it will surprise you, but I didn't play a lot of games or see a lot of movies or TV in 2010 … at least not compared with other years of my existence. I spent most of my time working and being with my family. But I fit some in here and there. [...]
We've been crazy busy at Casa Nichols this last little bit. Our Nashville Family flew in last Tuesday and that kicked off a crazy fun week. Wednesday Matt and I worked and Tabby and Ben got to play with The Nashvillians (as I affectionately refer to them). That evening we had dinner at my father [...]

I set myself a goal to read 52 books (one book per week) for the whole of 2010. I honestly had no idea if I could do it or not. I rely on audio books for my reading. I listen to them on my commute as well as when I’m doing tedious sort of work [...]
What a difference a year makes. This time last year, my sweet Ben was still quite baby-like but there is little of that left in him now. He’s a big boy in so so many ways. He’s given up his bottle. He runs and climbs and jumps everywhere. He talks up a storm (even [...]
I have been creating calendars for our families this past couple of weeks and it is just unbelievable how much my babies change at this age. Ben is night and day different (as you’ll see tomorrow) from where he was a year ago, but Tabby has changed a lot, even physically. She has lost [...]
My name is Jess. I'm a 30ish wife and working mommy. I love spending time with my family and friends, crafting up weird and beautiful things, cooking delicious food and running lots of miles to work it off. I love chocolate, wine, Photoshop, my Nikon and sleeping in. I do freelance design work for fun and marginal profit at JKN Designs. This is my blog. Read more »
