By the end of July, I was looking at my August & September calendar and was already tired. I was entering into a busy season that was going consume my weekends for about 6 weeks. 21 Days of Prayer Trip to Seattle Amberyln’s Bachelorrette Party Amberlyn & Kendyl’s Shower (on the same Saturday) ReCreate Women’s […]
Month: October 2018
i’m an usborne books & more consultant because…
“Rylie, can you pick out a book?” is a question Aaron and I ask about half an hour before we need to put Rylie down for bed every night. It’s our opportunity to not only get her brain and body into slow down mode, but it also gives us a chance to snuggle, learn, and […]
shaver farms
Today (October 12th), is National Farmers Day and since my father-in-law has tapped into the farming industry this past year, I feel a special pull to make a shout out. 🙂 What started out as a dozen chickens has turned into countless chickens, ducks, rabbits, pigs, a cow, a donkey (both the cow and donkey […]

letters to emmaline || 6 months old

what is 12 books of christmas?

emmaline – 6 months old
How is this little love already 1/2 a year old? I mean seriously, where did the last 6 months go? Likes: standing her bouncer sitting in the bumbo being carried around growling chomping on things (your hand, fingers, teethers, etc.) practicing sitting on her own grabbing toys playing with Rylie Dislikes: not standing being on […]
