Mr. Handsome and I had some good laughs over this question. It also lead to a discussion about our favorite flavor of ice cream. He thinks mine is ridiculous. Watch our video, and then tell us in the comments section what you allow yourself to splurge on and what your favorite flavor of ice cream is.
Hope your week is going well. To brighten your day, I thought I would share five lovely photos that my youngest sister-in-law took. For those who don’t know, Mr. Handsome has six younger siblings. Four of them are well past college age, but the two little ones are still in high school (although one is about to graduate, which is so crazy to me because I still remember her as the tiny little girl that she was when I first met Mr. Handsome).
These two girls may be younger than the rest of the siblings, but they have already become such talented, capable women, and their maturity makes them seem like they are the same age as the rest of us. They are both well-rounded and have a slew of hobbies and skills, and they never cease to amaze me with all their DIY projects. Mr. Handsome and I are eager to watch them enter adulthood, and we look forward to seeing what God has in store for their lives.
The five photos in this post were taken by the youngest, Lena, in Nahant, Massachusetts, at sunrise. Nahant is a quaint, historic island that lies just off the coast from Boston and can be accessed by a road. That’s where our rental house was located when we visited the area with Mr. Handsome’s family last fall. (Yep, we went to Boston in the fall, for those of you who are familiar with the VeggieTales song “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything.”) In case you missed the posts I have shared about our trip, the links are below.
*This post was written by Mr. Handsome. I know millennials have gotten a bad rap for not being willing to work, so I thought it would be good for me to recount my hard day of yard work just to prove that the stereotype is incorrect. Ellie had a handful of yard projects she wanted…
Were you working before the baby? Do you plan to return to work? Mr. Handsome and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the questions that you submitted via my “Ask Ellie 3.0” post. Some of our responses will be shared via video and others through written posts. This weekend, we filmed a video discussing my career…
A few weeks ago, I shared a workout program that I have been using called Walk at Home. (For more details, visit my April 6th “Body After Baby” post.) Lots of you commented and either said that you are familiar with the program or would be interested in trying it, so I thought I would…
Last week, Little Buddy and I were browsing the beautiful aisles of Costco, doing our twice-a-month stock-up. We happened upon a display of Paleo pancake mix and were very intrigued. “There’s no way these can be as good as regular pancakes,” I said aloud to Little Buddy. But I had been thinking about purchasing pancake…
On my Ask Ellie 3.0 post, Jane asked if we watch the home improvement channel (otherwise known as HGTV). For the sake of our marriage, Mr. Handsome has a very strong opinion on this topic. The video below has our full answer. How about you, what are your thoughts on HGTV? Do you watch it?…
I have read through all the questions that you submitted on my Ask Ellie 3.0 post, and Mr. Handsome and I are looking forward to answering them. Let’s start with a fun one about world travel. After you watch the video (embedded below), I would love to hear your answers to the question in the…
Just after he hit his three-month milestone, our Little Buddy made a very exciting accomplishment. He rolled over from his back to his stomach! He has always enjoyed lying on his back and kicking at the toys hanging from his activity gym. He showed no interest in rolling over, until one day he randomly started…
Back in 2015 and 2017, I released posts titled “Ask Ellie” and “Ask Ellie 2.0.” Tons of readers submitted questions, and I answered them in blog posts and videos. Since it’s been a while, I wanted to do another “Ask Ellie” post. Go ahead and ask questions, about any topic, in the comments section. They…
