Ryan and Amberlyn (Aaron’s sister and her husband) invited us to Ryan’s grandparents to hang out in their pool. Uh, YES! We arrived and immediately jumped in. Well, everyone but Emmaline. Rylie loves water. She loves to swim and has really enjoyed jumping in this year. Our little fish for sure! Emmaline, on the other […]

the unexpected stay
If you follow me on Instagram, than you already know the story that our AC went out for 12 days, during which time we stayed at my in-law’s. Although we’re thankful for their hospitality, we had no idea when we packed up for just one night (on 6.28.20) that we would be there for over […]
diy bug spray
We are full on into summer, which means full days outside where the bugs are. Yay (do you hear my sarcasm? 😛 ). I love being outside, but the bugs are not my fav. Specifically mosquitos. In the past I’ve just used the bug spray that comes from the store, but it smells yuck and […]
July 4th, 2020
Our 4th of July started out pretty normal. Aaron had to work and the girls and I did every-day, normal things. But once Aaron was off, the fun began! It started with our DIY Bug Off because the bugs are out and they love me (and Emmaline!) I also stuck a roller-top on some peppermint […]
kiddy pool
I consider this kiddy pool a $7 well spent! 😉 It’s been sitting in our garage for a couple weeks, but on Sunday (6.28.20) I decided it was time to break it out. Aaron joined us as we enjoyed soaking our feet while we played simple water games with the girls. Rylie, no surprise, loved […]
summer blast 2020
Summer Blast is our church’s VBS. It’s three days and so much fun. This year it looked a lot different though. They handed out packets that had craft supplies, coloring pages & we could go on the website the day of to watch worship, the lesson and other things produced by the kids team. Out […]
the house that built me
This is the first place we actually ever lived in Alabama. We moved to Sweet Home Alabama 5-years ago and a couple weeks later, we moved into this farmhouse with Aaron’s family (Rick, Michelle & sister, Amberlyn). We claimed the basement (we turned it into a studio apartment style) and shared everything else, including kitchen, […]
reaching star
A month ago (May 2020), I had just made the decision to get into the business of Young Living. Honestly, I really struggled with the thought “people are going to think I can’t stick with anything.” I’m 26, but my lifestyle is more like someone in their 30’s. It’s not uncommon for me to think […]

Likes: eating big people food playing with all the things screaming being held standing & practicing walking Dislikes: being given her bottle when she wants big people food (which is most meals apparently) sleeping through the night not being with everyone else (or Mama) Food: Paisley decided to ditch baby […]
