rylie’s 1st haircut
Rylie is 5 years old, and honestly hasn’t needed a haircut until now. I figured with the summer coming, it was the perfect time! So on Thursday (4.21.22), Rylie got her first haircut. It was just the two of us, which was really fun for her. She was so excited and lit-up when she saw […]
strawberry patch – 2022
It’s become a Spring tradition for the Shaver Crew to visit our local (40min away) strawberry patch. We first went in 2020 and it was so special and fun! In 2021, we went a few times including Emmaline’s 3rd birthday and one final date with all three girls before Spencer arrived. Well, Tuesday (4.19.22) was […]
our favorite kid book library picks – part one
Books is something I really wanted my kids to treasure! Even when Rylie was an infant, we gave her books, read to her, let her play with them, etc. and I truly believe all my kids love for books and stories now is connected to the fact that we make books / stories a priority […]
we’re hockey fans…apparently
Guys, I wish I could tell you this story in person. For real – the humor behind my words just cannot be heard written out. Hahaha! Hockey was a sport we were aware of, but really had no interest in. A good friend of mine’s husband even asked Aaron if he was into hockey recently […]
emmaline’s florals
As we were preparing for our adoption yard sale, the girls chimed in and said they wanted to sell something too. We settled on lemonade for Rylie, cookies for Paisley and flowers for Emmaline (they came up with these ideas themselves btw). The flowers from Emmaline made so much sense honestly. She’s the one that […]

Pro Tip – pick one of these gifts and pair it with a book or a chocolate bunny. don’t worry about overflowing the basket. […]
pioneer day
My mother-in-law asked if we wanted to go to the Pioneer Museum of Alabama and oh my gosh, am I so glad we went! The girls are Little House on the Prairie obsessed (me too honestly) and I was so excited to get to expound even further on that slice of history that we all […]

emmaline’s 4th birthday day
For the first time (if I’m remembering correctly), we had the birthday party on the same day as the actual birthday. I was thankful to have already done a lot of prep beforehand, so Emmaline’s day was still special & focused on her. She woke up surprisingly early and we snuggled on the couch as […]
