About Me

Family picture sesh: I promise we don't always look this put together.

Hello love, thanks for stopping by! My name is Caitlin Francis, and I am a 24 year old stay-at-home wife and mommy. To read about why I started blogging, please see here. I currently reside in the beautiful Valencia, California: aka, Awesome Town. I'm not kidding. Look it up. I have a BS in Home Economics and love to share my vast knowledge little itty bitty bits of know-how with anyone who will listen.

I LOVELOVELOVE: sewing, crafting with paper and fabric, shopping at Target, Pintrest, and repurposing anything I can think of so I don't have to buy new stuff. I am, used to be, a type-A, organized perfectionist...and then God gave me a baby and laughed and laughed...
I HATEHATEHATE the stupid dark wood floors in my apartment which are constantly dusty, cooking dinner, cleaning up my kitchen, and feeling like I don't have my life together while everyone else does (again, see Why I Blog).

My precious family currently consists of my darling husband Jeremy and my little loving, Greyson, who is currently 9 months old and growing by the second. We reside in a 2 bedroom apartment with our little kitty-bear Fat Bobo. She is precious, and Greyson adores her (she secretly adores him too, don't let her tell you she doesn't).

L: Sept 2010, right after we met/R:July 2013

Jeremy (aka, The Daddy) and I met during our senior year of college, and a month after I met him I knew he was the one I wanted to marry. He was funny, endlessly patient, hard-working, a strong and caring leader, a wonderful eldest brother and son, and he was SO STINKING NICE TO ME. ALL THE TIME.
Best of all, he took me for who I was: not judgment, no disappointment, just true Chrsit-like love. He truly cared (and still cares) about me more than himself. I was hooked. We got married in October 2011, in my parents backyard, in the most perfect wedding of all time (believe me, I was there). I love being married, it's such a beautiful thing.

At the zoo, 8 months old 

Greyson came into my life in November 2012, or rather, in Feb of 2012 if we wanna be technical about it. I measure it from conception for a couple reasons: 1.He was a "surprise" little loving, and so I remember the day we found our clearly, and 2. I believe life begins at conception and therefore his little soul was there in Feb for sure. God sure knew what he was doing giving him to us (kicking the selfish RIGHT out of me, that's what) and now he is the light of my life. I am head-over-heals in love with him, and he knows it ;) He is learning fast, standing up and babbling all the live long day. I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for his precious little life!
