39 is a number. 39 is the number of years i've been alive. 39 is the last number in what has been my fabulous thirties. 39 is the number i'm embracing.  to celebrate, i thought i'd share 39 things about me (you may or may not know) 1. i have the most amazing family 2. had a storybook childhood while growing up in sioux falls, sd 3. married the right person at 30 after being engaged to the wrong person at 24 4. stopped drinking pop when easton & adler were born. (that's almost 27 months)  carbination + c-section = discomfort...carbination + breast feeding = 2 unhappy baby tummies 5. although, i've had a couple sips every now and then. 6. have a sensitivity to scents. i get headaches & nauseous.  no perfume or cologne for anyone + our household products are unscented. gets worse as i get older . 7. have incredible friends. friends that i consider family. 8. suffered and won the infertility battle 9. my children are quadruplets born 4 years apart. 10

my husband called to ask "what's your child doing wednesday?" i was shocked he remembered. he rarely has time to read my blog. i ran out of my office (my mom is here today (**doing a happy dance**)) my big kids are at school & my little kids were doing one of their usual things.  racing a toy from the kitchen down the hall to the front door. it works with 2 kids.  add another 2 and someone is bound to get hurt.  today they were turning the corner going thru the playroom to kitchen around the table and back...

wedding invites as showere invites!  i've been doing a lot of shower invites lately. i'm enjoying the change of pace. happy monday & hope you had a great weekend.

ombre if you aren't familiar with it is defined as: an adjective; shaded or graduated in tone: said of a color it's quite popular in fashion and interiors. why not make it popular for a wedding too? exactly...so i put together a quick ombre wedding inspiration  (sources 1. 2. 3. 4.)  in honor of my new Knox wedding invitation . i'd love to hear what you think! are you an ombre fan?

my popular penguin has found her match. she's ready to tell the world she's marrying her love.  the balloons are shown in silver+grey+gold.  not your wedding colors you say? they can be customized to any color you wish. you can find a sample here .

my poor little neglected blog...so much to share so little time. but since it's wednesday...here is my what's my child doing wednesday. take it aways adler... a hat is needed today. but she wore this on the hotest day in september. of course less than 2 weeks of school and all kids have sneezes.  the little ones also have runny noses. my husband has a cold and i am consuming lots of vitamin c! ah the joys of school germs.

i know fall isn't even here yet and i'm already talking about winter & spring...crazy...right?  in the wedding industry (like the fashion industry) you have to think seasons ahead. my popular easton invite is all about fall.  i love fall. it's my favorite season. but not everyone gets married in the fall. some couples get married in the winter (like me) easton winter snowflake invite some people get married in the spring or summer easton spring blossom invite (could be used for summer too) you can find them here and here

how time flies too fast some times... here they are last year...my how they've grown.

my marlowe wedding invitation + orange + different shade of blue + baby shower wording = super fabulous baby shower invitations.

really...it's september already?!?! i love september. it means fall is almost here + my birthday month.  it also means school is starting soon.  when the kids are fighting or crying, i think "can't wait for school" but most of the time...i'm not ready for it to start. not ready for my kids to be in 1st grade.  i'm embracing these last summer moments. last weekend we took 4 days and drove back to my hometown . to visit family. visit friends. stay up to late laughing. play at my elementary school playground. then on our way home made a spontaneous stop to have a snack at a slightly out of the way playground by a lake we'd never been to before. surprisingly, i stayed unplugged from the virtual world. tomorrow early, i'm packing the kids up and taking them somewhere. just not sure where. zoo, nature center, moa, target, airport (to watch planes) who knows. we'll see when we wake up. tomorrow is my last day of the summer with just me and my 4.  daddy
