Image by Bikurgurl So this happened this weekend – Solo: A Star Wars Story! We love going to AMC Theatres for premiers! With online reservable seats, even new movies can be planned for and seen at the matinee rate! Although a lot of the movie was dark with bright flashes of light — literally, not figuratively — it was an entertaining story. The thing with … Continue reading Solo: A Star Wars Story
So this happened yesterday – my husband fulfilled my long dream of shelves above our credenza. If you’ve noticed, we kinda love Ikea. We’d searched high and low for affordable ‘natural yet hefty’ shelves, but ultimately couldn’t choose anything but our lovely Ikea Lack Shelves. At only $29 each, they were the bargain of the year! As I posted on Instagram, I was looking for … Continue reading My Ikea Love: Shelves
Hello! I’m Kelly, aka Bikurgurl, and these are my boys: my husband, Jeff, and our children. Image: Bikurgurl We love to travel and devour stories in books, on screens, and through our own creations.

This realization of the circle of life in my … Continue reading Love my Life

It’s actually been since birth, though only in retrospect can I call it homeschooling. As a life-long learner, I lost the love of learning in high school for a myriad of reasons, not the least of which was burnout. By the time … Continue reading Nugget of Knowledge
It must be a Midwest thing, specifically a Cincinnati thing, because outside of my husband and Sarah Jessica Parker, I’ve never heard the tale of ‘Rabbit Rabbit‘. I’m sure there’s a whole sorted tale, but my husband convinced our boys they had to say it as their first words to have good luck for the month. I love my husband {& SJP!}, but I … Continue reading Rabbit Rabbit

Christmas Eve Eve in images! I’ve been so intentionally busy, I didn’t realize how much I needed a downtime day. I posted these images on Instagram of my day. So as I had my nails done, reflected on the past year, my husband held down the fort at home helping boys finish school projects before Christmas so I could just relax. Thanks babe ❤ Continue reading Christmas Eve Eve 2017
