About Us

The title for our blog came from the saying "thinking outside the box", which means to think differently, unconventionally or from a new perspective. "Enjoy your choices and enjoy what you do. Never let a day go by without being thankful for the fact that you get to be here in the first place." Hopefully this blog will help family and friends to stay a little closer to us even though were thousands of miles apart; as well as to share in our trials, daily life adventures and traveling experiences.

Messy = Fun

Since becoming a mom, I have had to TRY (key word here) to get past my OCD  when it comes to neatness. Thankfully Ella doesn't like too much of a mess either and is wonderful at picking up her toys. So even though I expect things to be neat and tidy, it doesn't mean we can't get messy once in a while. Throughout the winter it involved paint, but with the nicer weather I decided to let Ella try out the sidewalk chalk. It took a few lectures of "not in your mouth" from mommy and one actual taste of the chalk before Ella didn't try and taste the colored pieces again.

Ella had a great time and so did I. We may have had chalk dust all over us, but messy = fun!




Daddy really liked the picture of him!
