I’ll admit, life with four kids 4years-old and younger has had me extremely overwhelmed at times. Mainly the inevitable moment in the day when everybody seems to need something from me all at the same time. I think I become over-stimulated because I suddenly just cannot deal and start shutting down, getting anxious or getting […]
Month: July 2021
spencer – 2 months old
Little man is two months old and I can already see where the newborn days are fading. Likes: snuggling eating smiling facing outward starring at ceiling fans being held my mama Dislikes: being put in his carseat, usually being touched by his sisters while he’s eating having gas Food: Spencer is still eating great. He […]
Alabama Safari
On Friday (7.9.21), we crossed another adventure off our Summer Bucket List – the Alabama Safari Park. Aaron was the one who expressed great interest in going, and I had heard that it was a lot of fun. We headed out as soon as we had eaten breakfast and drove a little over an hour […]
essential oils to help rsv (with shopping links)
I’m writing this post with a healthy and whole baby boy next to me, and I am so incredibly thankful. When Spencer was diagnosed with RSV, I felt a mix of “not scared” and “very scared.” And rightfully so. RSV to toddlers and older kids is basically a rougher cold, but RSV to an infant, […]
cloth diapering 101
I’ve been cloth diapering since 2016 when Rylie was born. At some point, all of my children have worn cloth and I’ve had several people reach out to me with questions. I decided to help the masses I would make a video sharing our story plus some basics when it comes to cloth diapering. other […]
my favorite homeschool books
The school year is coming up, and I wanted to share with you my favorite homeschool themed books I’ve read over the last year. I got so much out of each of these and strongly encourage anyone who is homeschooling or considering it to read these. Even just one will be an incredible asset to […]
rylie’s preschool graduation
I never thought I’d be the parent that took preschool graduation photos. It just didn’t seem like a big deal to me… to “graduate” preschool. And then my oldest finished preschool and was gearing up to enter Kindergarten. And some of her best friends were having little graduations and I saw they’re pictures & I […]
life lately – june 2021
I started documenting parts of June with Spencer’s weekly updates (see week 1, week 2 and week 3), so I thought I’d round off the month – sharing some of the photos I took and what our crew was up to. || Something the girls love to do is come into our room right when […]
playground (+ a new episode)
Aaron and I have been looking for a playground for over two years. But honestly, we weren’t willing to buy one brand new because of the price. Even Facebook Marketplace wasn’t yielding affordable results or the style we wanted. But we stayed patient and kept out eyes out and one day, it paid off. We […]
july 4th, 2021
This was our first 4th at the property, so we decided to host a party. We invited friends, bought some food and decorated to enjoy the festivities. The girls were so excited for the party and were more than happy to get dressed in their patriotic clothes. Emmaline had a sleepover with Amberlyn & Ryan […]
