I hope you all had an incredible Thanksgiving! Last week was a little different Thankful Thursdays but it was a great one! Let’s finish this weekly journey out strong by jumping into #48.

Month: November 2018
random photos of rylie + emmaline – november 2018
There are fewer “random photos” than normal – partially because most of the photos fit inside of a post I shared, but also because the girls being sick took up half the month and how many pictures can you take of sick babies!? :/ So here are the random photos I got of the girls […]
decorating for Christmas
I absolutely love decorating our home for Christmas! We moved into this house a week before Christmas last year and before any of the furniture was arranged, Aaron had this 12 foot tree in our living room. I’ve decided our house looks incomplete without the tree 😝 Since the girls were gone on […]
thanksgiving weekend 2018
I hope you all had a wonderful, relaxing, tradition filled weekend. The Shaver Crew’s Thanksgiving weekend was a mix of nontraditional and traditional. Wednesday night, Rick & Michelle decided to drive to Illinois to celebrate Thanksgiving with Michelle’s family and they offered to take Rylie and Emmaline with them. Aaron and I accepted their […]
happy thanksgiving!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!! I’m going to keep this short because I don’t want you on your phones long. Enjoy the parade, homemade food, time with loved ones, and take that nap 😉 But I wanted to jump on for this week’s Thankful Thursday and since it’s Thanksgiving, what better time to really dive into thankfulness!? […]
a toy story weekend
Our family’s rule is there is no TV/iPad/media/etc. for the kids. At their current age, they do not need it. However, some exceptions to that rule is if we are doing it together as a family (we’ll usually end our Sabbath with a family movie) or if they are sick. With sickness hitting the girls […]
the last 6 months
Saturday morning, we were sitting on the couch when Aaron looked up from his phone and said, “how does this sound? I’m posting it on Facebook.” Okay… Aaron hasn’t posted anything on Facebook since our pregnancy announcement (with Rylie), maaayyybbbeee he posted something the day she was born – but that’s it. So when […]
the wooden kitchen
Rylie was gifted a beautiful wooden kitchen from her grandparents (Rick + Michelle) for her birthday, and knowing it might take some time, we postponed putting it together until we knew we had a chill day at home. So when Saturday (11.17.18) came around with absolutely no plans but to stay home, we brought the […]
book box subscription
Between birthdays, Christmas and random “I want to give them a gift!” occasions, I know you have a list of kiddos in your life with a wish list asking for the latest toy, video game, or straight up cash. Those things are great, but how many toys and video games do kids really need? What […]
thankful thursday #44, #45 and #46
Can I just start this post off by saying is anyone else surprised that it’s already one week away from Thanksgiving? I just texted my family earlier this week telling them we have to talk about what we’ll be making (and who is bringing what) so we can plan accordingly 😝 After a couple weeks […]
