My oldest daughter turned SIX on Tuesday (the 8th) and it really didn’t hurt my heart like I thought it would. She’s just so mature and her growing up is bitter-sweet but more sweet. I really didn’t take many photos that day. We had pancakes with strawberries and whip cream (per her request) and then […]

Week 5 of forest school was focused on woodland animals. The first week our group gathered we learned about gardening, second week was harvesting, third week was about Autumn, fourth was highlighting the diverse seasons, and this week we met some woodland animals.

blue tansy face serum (+ fundraiser)
I’ve been into essential oils for a couple years now, and I follow several Instagram accounts of fellow oily-lovers. A couple of them have shared their skincare routine, and each of them included an essential oil called Blue Tansy. Blue Tansy is the best skincare ingredient you never knew you needed. It is blue and looks […]
superhero movie night fundraiser
I found this fundraiser in my initial fundraiser idea search back in January but I intentionally set it aside to release in the Autumn. After selling some sets online & at vendor events, I decided to step it up and create a fun event – A VIRTUAL MOVIE NIGHT! I invited my local friends over […]

rylie’s first softball season – fall 2022
In August and early September, I could tell Rylie was fizzling out at gymnastics. She wasn’t doing her best & she didn’t seem to be enjoying it anymore. I asked her in the car one day if there was another activity she would rather do and she quickly responded “I want to play baseball!” It […]

old baker vendor event
Much to my astonishment, I was accepted to be a vendor at Old Baker Farm’s vendor weekend (a well known pumpkin patch) where I got to sell our sourdough bread, bagels and cookies + our adoption merch and superhero capes. On Saturday (10.22.22), all the vendors had to be fully set up by 8am and […]
old baker pumpkin patch 2022
On Saturday, October 8th, we made plans to go to Old Baker Farm with my sister/brother-in-law to go hunting for pumpkins. Aaron & Spencer stayed home so it turned into just a girls trip. We intentionally got there right at opening in hopes to avoid the heavy Saturday crowd, and we were successful. The first […]
