Like Emmaline & Paisley, Aaron and I planned to find out the gender of our fourth baby at 16-weeks. The way my appointments fell I didn’t have a normal appointment scheduled with my doctor, but she told me I could come in just for the sneak peek ultrasound so that’s what I did. I scheduled […]

christmas 2020
I had intentionally planned Christmas Eve day (12.24.20) to be empty to allow for a relaxing, no-stress day. Ha. Yeah right. Although it was slower than the previous days, it included a last minute run to WalMart which was eventful and exactly what I didn’t want to do. I told the girls as we pulled […]
a different christmas
This entire week I’ve been confused what day it is. But when I woke up this morning, I knew it was December 24th – Christmas Eve. I intentionally don’t have plans today outside of some light food prep and a few evening traditions with our little family after Aaron gets home from work. But as […]

ningxia drink + jan ’21 health challenge

homeschool update – end of 2020
Rylie finished her last bookwork lesson for 2020 on Saturday (12.19.20) and this girl has been doing such a phenomenal job! Our core curriculum has mainly focused on writing each letter (upper and lowercase), the sound it makes, numbers and some money recognition (mainly pennies and nickels so far). I love how they sprinkle games […]
bump update :: 16 weeks
The biggest thing about this week was finding out the gender. I was so excited that the night before I didn’t even sleep well because I was so pumped. Week 16: Symptoms :: this was a super busy and physically-taxing week, so I was just constantly physically exhausted. Food Aversions :: ever since day 1, I cannot […]
tribe shaver cookie decorating – 2020
On Saturday (12.12.20), we spent the evening decorating cookies with the tribe (Aaron’s family). We had pizza for dinner, played Christmas movies in the background and had a cookie decorating competition 😉 Here are mine and Aaron’s contributions to the contest. I tried to copy Arthur Christmas’ sweater and Aaron took the ugly sweater approach. […]
letter m
This week was the letter M and I loved the creative craft of making a face-mask. The girls absolutely loved putting on all their jewels. Also, these books were huge hits! We read them multiple times a day all week long. I personally loved the “If You Give A Mouse A Brownie” one but the […]
