In this season of Thanksgiving & Christmas, our family is really focusing on giving and blessing others. So when a childhood memory randomly hit me in the middle of my workday late last week, I did some research and decided I really wanted to participate! Operation Christmas Child. This is a nonprofit organization […]

rylie || 19 – 24 months old
When Rylie turned one, I stopped doing monthly updates. I did do an 18 month update and a 24 month update because those are viewed as a big milestone, but since my blog is based around our family, I’m sure you don’t feel like you’ve missed a beat when it has come to seeing what Rylie is […]
how 2 train your dragon birthday party
We decided to have Rylie’s birthday party on a Friday night, which ended up working out wonderfully! This last Friday (11.9.18) a few of our friends came to celebrate our new 2 year old. Aaron chose the theme “How To (2) Train Your Dragon,” which was a lot of fun to decorate for. Aaron was […]
rylie’s 2nd birthday day
Even though it was Rylie’s birthday, I still had to work a full day 🙁 But Aaron and my mom (who is in town for Rylie’s birthday & birthday party) met me for lunch at the McWane Center (where we got an annual family pass last year for Rylie’s birthday). It was an hour well […]
happy 2nd birthday rylie
Happy 2nd Birthday Rylie Annalise! To celebrate Rylie, I took her to a park this last Saturday and we took some pictures. To honor our 2 year old today, here are those photos 😉 I am so excited to love on and spoil this little girl tonight and this weekend for her birthday! ❤
rylie – 24 months old
…otherwise known as 2. Rylie is 2 years old 😛 Since Rylie is turning 2 years old tomorrow, I’m bringing back the “monthly update” style to celebrate. ^ ha. Yeah. You try to get a 2 year old to lay still for a picture 😛 It doesn’t happen so this is the best we got. […]
letters to rylie || 2 years old
Dear Rylie, I love how you cross your fingers when you say you are 2. I love how you pat your chest while you say your name. I love that you sing “Jesus Loves Me!” I love how the first words out of your mouth in the morning is your sister’s name. I love […]
girl gang weekend
Aaron made plans to work at Shaver Farms Friday night into Saturday, so that left the girls and I to ourselves for a “Girl Gang Weekend.” I may have made up a little jingle to go along with it 😝 Our evening started with a trip to Target. I don’t go there often, but I […]
emmaline – 7 months old
I feel like Emmaline is a completely different baby – she met so many milestones this month + her personality continues to shine. Likes: seeing her bottle sleeping in her own crib (YES!!! More on that below) playing with her cloth book seeing Daddy watching Rylie play looking at books watching us eat Dislikes: being […]
i’m a girl mom, and this is my girl gang
I didn’t want girls. Before kids, I told people I wanted four kids – boy, boy, girl, boy. The only reason the girl was even in the mix was because I thought I would want a little buddy. Otherwise, I was perfectly content being a “boy mom.” Everyone else thought this as well – Aaron, […]
