Dear our first house, I realize it’s weird that I’m writing you a letter. But I’ve learned that this is the best way I can process my feelings so… humor me. It hit me differently on Monday (3.25.19). I don’t know if it was having to wake up earlier because my commute time doubled or […]

books I read in January, February and March 2019
This year I’ve decided to make more of an effort to actually read books in addition to listening to them. So in these roundup posts you’ll see a mix of both. All of my spare time understandably went towards the move, so I didn’t get to read / listen as much as I wanted to […]
the final touches to sell our first home
We’re closing on our house this Friday (3.29.19) and it has been gas pedal all the way down for the Shaver Crew since Saturday the 16th. Packing and moving out took a chunk, but what has really consumed our time are some repairs that needed to happen for the buyer to get their FHA loan. […]

Easter is a little less than a month away, and I’ve been a part of a handful of conversations where mamas are talking about their kiddos Easter basket. I had an absolute blast putting Rylie’s together last year and my favorite part was how simple and practical it was! I had purchased everything at Five […]
just like that
“We’re not getting the house.” It was Wednesday night (3.13.19) and we were winding down in our bed. I was in the middle of a chapter of a book with plans to fall asleep when the chapter was over. When I heard Aaron say these words, I looked up mid-paragraph and saw Aaron’s expressionless face. […]

starting a garden
I remember asking my dad when I was young if I could have a garden in our backyard to grow fruits and vegetables and he said no because animals would get into it. As I got older, I had no interest in having as little as a flower garden because of the memories of Saturdays […]

book box – march 2019
March’s Book Box came and I was really excited to add this one to our shelf. D is for Duck. I told Rylie her Book Box came and she eagerly sat on the couch last night (3.5.19) and I handed her the book. She got so excited and immediately opened it to read. It’s an […]
being shaver kids || february 2019
February may have fewer days than the other months but it was packed with a lot for the Shaver Crew. We’re still in the process of moving so our schedule has been filled with lots of doing. This hasn’t stopped the girls one bit though. They are all over, messy, and developing in all kinds […]
