Canvas + Spray Paint = Fun

When I was pregnant with Ivan, I pinned this, so that as soon as we had a name, I could make one for over his crib.  Thanks to a new Silhouette (love it!), here it is!

Side note about Week in the Life:  I took pictures diligently for a day and a half of that week...and then realized once I started having intense contractions that I couldn't really keep up with it.  Imagine that...so I'll be redoing my Week in the Life later this month...will keep you posted!

Hello World!

Ivan Macray Whisman

born April 24, 2012 at 9:45 pm

weighing 8 pounds, 4 ounces and 20.5 inches long

A little delayed on announcing this...3 boys makes for a busy life!  :)

Week in the Life

Just sat down and did some prep for Week in the Life....absolutely love this project, started by Ali Edwards.  It is such a fun way to document regular life, and though it can be a LOT of work (especially the scrapbooking part), it is such an awesome finished product that I keep coming back to it (this is my 3rd year).

So while we could be having a baby literally any day, next week will be Week in the Life documented, and I'll be putting a bit of it on here.  Want to join in?  Get your camera charged and ready, warn your family & friends you'll be taking pics of EVERYTHING, and be prepared to love all the little details of your life!!

What did you do today?

Recipes | Pam's Cheesecake

I've never met Pam, but man, I think she's pretty darn great!  :)  If you're willing to devote a few years to perfecting a cheesecake recipe, you are someone I could definitely be friends with.  Here's her heavenly cheesecake recipe...you should go make some right now...

 

While the strawberries were a great addition, my only regret is that I opted for strawberries instead of whipped cream...rookie mistake.  What was I thinking?!?  Always choose BOTH!
