Life
This is our life. The nitty-gritty, day-to-day story of what we’re doing and our adventures as a family. Sometimes detailed, often mostly a photo journal, filled with lots of pictures of cute little people and occasional longer reflections on Hinds family happenings.

Some Random Things
I wrote a while back that I might use Thursdays as an opportunity to play catch up on all the things I never blogged, in honor of “Throwback Thursday” — and then I proceeded to not blog at all…and apparently not take pictures off of my camera, either, because when I went to get pictures…

Hello 30

Zara’s First Hair Cut
In honor of “Throwback Thursdays,” I’m going to use Thursdays as a day to take a break from my new goal of writing substance and post all of the things from the last few months that I never got around to posting…like Zara getting her first real hair cut. I took her right before we…

Thanksgiving Part 2
We’re nearly at the end of December, so it seems like I ought to take the time to share photos from the second half of our trip to Austin, visiting with Chris’ mom, step-dad, siblings and extended family. When we first arrived, we had a little time warp forward to this month: Chris’s brother and…

Thanksgiving Part 1
Our little family went to Texas! This Thanksgiving, Chris’ family very, very generously offered to buy us plane tickets so that we could visit his hometown for the first time in more than 4 years. After a very short discussion about the harm (or lack there of) of letting Nora miss two days of kindergarten,…

Post November Gratitude
📍 ColoradoApparently, I needed a little blogging break and didn’t even know it. I’m not sure that I’ve every gone as long between posts as I did between now and and my previous post – a whole month – and I’m already feeling rusty from the absence of writing. Even though I did not manage a…

A Jaunt Through Old Town
I have been quite the slacker about photographing the girls and blogging during the past few weeks. I’ve had a lot of client logos and websites eating up my time, and have also been in super preservation mode. Our rental house has a very prolific apple tree which lead me to rediscover my enthusiasm for…

Grandpa John Visits + A Trip To The Denver Zoo
Chris’ dad came up for a visit last week much to everyone’s delight. Nora especially was excited about his visit for one reason: sausage. Every time John comes, he buys her breakfast sausage and makes it for breakfast every single day. We don’t buy it for our poor deprived children, who apparently love breakfast sausage…

Days With One
Tuesday, Zara took a big step and headed off to her first day of “school.” With the amount of work I have been doing, Chris and I decided it would be good for me to get some extra daylight work hours in, so we signed Zara up for a toddler program two mornings each week.…

Film Friday: Summer Splashin’
📍 ColoradoIt has been a long time since I made a Film Friday video, but lately I’ve realized that I don’t have a ton of videos with Zara in them so I resolved to get back into the habit of recording little clips of our days. This little video is from last week’s trip to the splash…

Unlikely Friendships Can Be The Best Friendships
Once upon a time, seven years ago, I graduated from college, married my sweetheart, then followed him across country far from family and friends, so he could go to culinary school. Not long after moving to New York, I managed to land a job recruiting graduate students for Marist College (which probably only happened because I…

Our Farm-Filled Weekend
Our weekend was overflowing with chickens, horses, cows, pigs, and goats. Saturday, we had a La Leche League fundraiser and World Breastfeeding Celebration at a local farm. The event went wonderfully and our fundraiser went really well, but I was also excited for the opportunity to discover Laughing Buck Farm. They have a really neat…
