eleanor is nine!

today we celebrated eleanor's ninth birthday! last year's theme was toy story and this year it was trolls ... 1990 style. it was a really sweet day. 




showing rufus her new gremlin doll. they are obsessed with that movie right now.





 
her cousins and friend from school brought their american girl dolls to the party, so of course eleanor placed little plates, forks, cups and pitchers of lemonade on the table for them. they also made teeny t-shirts for their dolls.










gramma is teaching him how to blow bubbles.


today she got new roller skates, tomorrow we are going ice skating. 



this may be my new favorite photo of her.


i always find the messy table after the party so lovely. a beautiful sign of a happy time. xo.

a pretty way to store hot cocoa














okay, so i know i said i wasn't gonna post to this blog again, but while i was making hot cocoa this morning and bringing greenery inside and stuff, i was like oh, what the heck ...

i am also in the holiday spirit like BIG TIME. i just thought i would share the way i am storing hot cocoa this year ... it's super simple and prettier than the original packaging from the grocery store.

okay, that's all!

p.s. i may be back again because i have a giant bag of marigolds that i am gonna turn into a wreath. haha, we'll see.

xo

new house stuff // last post?

dude, i am so exhausted. like blogging is something i love to do, but omg, finding the time ... finding. the. time! 

okay, so this may be my final blog post here on moon schooling eleanor ... i recently bought oldjoy.com and as soon as i get the time, i am going to start moving things on over. this may take a while because i know very little about website building and the inter webs and computer stuff. like, very little. but anyway, it is gonna happen and i am pumped about it. it's just gonna be like more official and stuff. whatever that means ... and i don't want you to get the wrong idea. it's not gonna be like a how to live blog. the idea is to create a space to talk about feelings and share milestones in my life. i mean i may throw in a cake recipe here and there, but that will not be the primary. 

okay, moving right along ... as you know, we have recently moved. and by recently i mean three weeks ago. we are finally beginning to settle in and it feels like real, real good. most of the walls have been painted and everything is in it's place .. there is still a ton to do and honestly, this house needs a lot of work, but it will get done. my grandma always told me that you will never be moved into a house and it's so true. i feel like as soon as i get one room done, i am already planning ways to change or improve it. maybe that's normal or maybe i'm just restless, i don't know. 

anyway, these are just some photos i took over the past three weeks. there is no rhyme or reason, just  random shots of the new house. 

hope everyone is doing well and as always, thanks for reading. xox. -kristen
