iced coffee recomendations
I’m not a coffee drinker. I briefly worked at Starbucks when we first moved to Alabama, but I still never really latched onto coffee. However, I’ve recently really enjoyed iced coffee and Dunkin’ is an easy place for me to snag a drink (& some donuts 😉 ). I recently shared on my Instagram about […]
happy 28th birthday aaron

That afternoon we decorated the living room with streamers (my parents were so good at decorating with streamers and I’ve decided I need […]

6 year blog-iversary
SIX YEARS. wow. when I think back to all the incredible life experiences and thoughts I’ve compiled on this space, I’m awestruck. Also, slightly terrified that it might get lost one day (maybe I should start printing them out… can you imagine that binder size? ;P ). Blogging is such a joy to me, and […]
rylie’s martial arts advancements – yellow, green & blue belt
When Rylie turned four, we asked her friends / family to gift her money so we would put towards martial arts classes. She was really into Avatar, The Last Airbender and we thought she would enjoy giving martial arts a try. Sure enough, she fell in love with it and has been going multiple times […]
