Love is in the Air

Love is in the air and so is cold and flu season. This week the cold and flu bug has hit our family hard. But luckily Lucas has gotten away with just a stuffy nose. In an effort to keep my germs to myself, I stopped giving my usually barrage of kisses. So much to my delight, after a few kiss-less days, a kiss on the back of the head prompted my little man to lean in for another, and another, and another with a squeal of delight. I know it won't last forever, but for now this mom is the happiest woman ever!

New Year - New Blog

My name is Emily Ann Tippetts. I am a wife, daughter, sister, crafter, DIYer, novice gardner, foodie, accidental IT professional, and recently a first-time mother. Being a new mom has brought many changes and a lot less sleep. So I've decided to turn-over a new leaf and make a New Year's resolution. Among the usual goals of getting organized and returning to a healthy lifestyle after my year long "baby hiatus", I've decided to start this blog about all the things I love and the people I love as a reminder of all I have been blessed with.
