At the beginning of 2019, Aaron and I sat down and talked about trips we wanted to take. Although we have visited our home state once a year since we moved, Seattle was not on our list to visit this year. But after hearing my grandfather (who I was extremely close with) had passed away, […]

bump update :: 20 weeks
Week 20: Symptoms :: I did a lot of work around the house this week and my body definitely felt it towards the end of the day. My back would start to hurt and carrying the girls in general became extremely difficult. I also was really thirsty. Food Aversions :: Nothing specific Food Cravings :: Nothing […]
summer read-a-thon 2019
Summer is almost here, which brings sunny days, lounging at the pool or beach, unstructured days and, unfortunately, that statement parent’s &/or caregivers dread – “I’m board.” Most kids love a challenge, which is why I am challenging kiddos to read 20-30 minutes a day for 10 days in June. Each child will receive a […]
the first 2 weeks
Today (5.15.19) was supposed to be my last day at the office. But instead, I’m looking back at my first 15 days at home. I’ll be honest and admit that these past 15 days have not been what I expected. The role change from working-mom to stay-at-home-mom has not been as smooth as I thought […]

Rylie || 2 1/2 years old
Rylie is officially 2 ½ years old today, and I thought it would be fun to do a little update on how our oldest girl is doing and some impressive milestones she has hit since her birthday in November. 2-year-olds often get put into the box of “terrible two’s” which I personally think is unfair. […]
so, what’s next?
We are 5 months into 2019 and I never would have imagined our year would be filled with so much already. We found a house, put in an offer and it got accepted sooner than we expected. So we put our house on the market and within a week we had an offer that we […]

book box – may 2019
This month in our monthly Book Box I intentionally got something that we could use to help educate Rylie. Usborne’s Lift the Falp My Busy Day book has been a fun, entrataining and educational way to help Rylie connect the dots in some day to day routines. Just this morning Rylie and I snuggled in […]
