It’s been over a year since I shared one of these “Currently” style posts with y’all and I think it’s about time to share what’s happening in the Foss household these days. Watching: Selection Sunday. Jared has had the countdown on the calendar for weeks but I’m not going to lie, March Madness has a… Continue reading Currently | 3.11.18

As we were driving home from an ISU basketball game on New Year’s Day, Jared made the comment that he couldn’t believe the holidays were already over and here we were in 2018. To which I replied, in almost a knee-jerk reaction, “Good riddance.” This coming from a girl who typically gets giddy at the… Continue reading So long, 2017.

People have asked me lately, “Why don’t you blog anymore?” It’s partly because we’ve been so busy with work, Iowa State games, church, chasing after Maddox, working out, remembering to text people back and generally trying to drink more water than coffee each day. It’s also partly because I’ve long given up on any pipe… Continue reading Done is better than perfect.

When I was pregnant, I read all the books, followed a handful of bloggers and chatted with friends and family about what post-baby life would be like. Most summed it up as a magical time of bonding with baby and growing as a couple. (Sleep-deprived and spit-up covered, but magical nonetheless.) While I’ve found all… Continue reading Five Things Nobody Told Me About Having a Baby.

Two weeks into having a newborn in the house and it finally feels as though we’re settling into a routine (and by that, I mean not walking around like total zombies). Between friends and family popping over, doctor’s appointments and a couple rounds of newborn photos, we’ve stayed pretty busy around here! A few bloggers… Continue reading Currently…1|15|17

I’ve succumbed to the fact that my blog posts are going to be four weeks apart – at best – from here on out. But I promise, fun updates are coming your way so please continue to bear with me! As summer transitions to fall, our schedule remains full-speed ahead; with three weddings, a couple… Continue reading Moving on up (the street)

Long time, no blog! Yes, I realize this is my opening line each and every post, but this time is especially deserving, as it’s been nearly four months since I’ve last provided an update to all my fans (I’m looking at you, mom). Four whole months. Between busy work schedules, house projects and planning for a little human… Continue reading Oh, BABY!

I’ve had great intentions of sharing more DIY updates from the Foss household, including a bedroom makeover (from…um…January), as well as a work-in-progress landscaping project we tackled a couple weeks back. But what’s another week — or two — gonna hurt? In the meantime, I thought I’d share a recap of the training planning from… Continue reading Half-time!

You know how some people are quick decision-makers? Like, have their mind’s made up on something from the instant they set their eyes on it? Then there are the the people who need to sleep on it, do their due diligence in research and peer reviews, shop around and get price quotes before they’re prepared to… Continue reading D-I-Y not?

First and foremost, Merry Christmas! My, how I love this time of year. While it can be expensive and busy and cold (err, rainy this year), the fun of giving gifts makes it all worth it. Oh, and the food. THE. FOOD. I’ve been in this almond bark-induced coma for the better part of three… Continue reading G-Free and Christmas Trees
