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 […]
summer blast 2021 (+ a new episode)
Earlier this week was Church of the Highlands’s kids conference – Summer Blast! It’s very similar to the well-known VBS (Vacation Bible School) that lots of churches have, but it’s only 3 days (Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday) from 9am-12pm. Because Rylie is entering Kindergarten this Fall, she was able to participate. She’s been to Summer Blast […]
oatmeal chocolate chip (lactation) cookies
Would you believe me if I said this was my very first time making lactation cookies? Well, it was – and I am forever changed! haha Seriously though, these cookies are so delish and easy to make. Whether your nursing or not, the flax seed is so good for you – you’ll justify the fact […]
spencer has rsv
On Saturday (6.26.21) he started coughing. It was deep, loud and sounded rough. By Sunday (6.27.21) evening, we couldn’t ignore it. It was raspy, long & he seemed to struggle to catch his breath at times. It sounded painful. My other flag was my amazing eater had become less than interested in nursing, so I […]
spencer – 1 month old
Turning one month is always bittersweet. I’m sad to see the newborn cuddles, coos and wake-up stretches go but I’m excited to see his features develop & enjoy watching him discover more and more of the world around him. Likes: being held eating looking around sleeping Dislikes: getting dressed being hungry getting his diaper changed […]
