it’s time! for another post of hijacked instagram pictures… before i committed to making lego man cakes for a group of small children, i did a trial run, to see if i could handle the task. the frosted version. frosting was tedious, but i was pretty sure i could handle it on a smallish scale. […]
lid kid everyday life
the lego birthday party.
for some reason, i thought it would be a good idea to have a birthday party in our home. with a newborn. with six boys. ages 6 and 7. and make individual cakes for the kids to decorate. i’m obviously not thinking clearly in my sleep deprived state. here’s how it went. earlier this week, […]
seven.
on friday, isaac t. lidbom turned seven. SEVEN. i can’t even believe it. seems like just yesterday that we were bringing home that screaming little bundle of feisty joy and starting our lives as parents. he has, for sure, kept us on our toes. he’s packed to the rafters with endless energy. and is completely […]

christmas day. 2013.
(note: this is the first of a bunch of posts i plan on making today.) this christmas was a little bit crazy. we have a newborn. so we kept it all low key. but first things first. the presents. pics aren’t that great. we need a fancy sports lens to get all the fast paced […]
gingerbread houses.
on christmas eve eve day (december 23rd), i sent derek out to run a few errands. and decided we needed to do gingerbread houses with the kids. he scored them on superduper clearance, which was awesome. anna picked out a hello kitty house. and ike picked a willy wonka house with a ridiculous amount of […]
