our wedding day – June 21st, 2014
Our wedding day was not the best day of our lives. But Aaron and I also agreed early on that we didn’t want it to be. I’m glad for all those who get their dream wedding or have wonderful memories surrounding this once in a lifetime event, but that isn’t our story. Despite all the […]
being the shaver crew || may 2019
May was my first month at home, and it was full! I’m sure you noticed some gaps in my posts which isn’t like me but adjusting to full time mommyhood has been more challenging than I expected and finding time to blog has proven to be one of the biggest struggles. But I am confident […]
CLOSED – shaver farms
The day after we got back from our trip to Seattle, we were told that the property my in-law’s lease, the one the farm is being run on, was no longer available to us. Obviously, that meant every animal has to go. Farm life was fun, but it was exhausting and we are actually excited […]
emmaline’s first steps
Emmaline has been on the verge of walking for over a month. She loved to hold onto both our hands (both was key! If we took one away, she plopped down and refused to get back up until we offered both again) which was hard for us to bend over that long but we were […]

Week 23: Symptoms :: Can I be honest? This was the worst week I’ve had when it has come to pregnancy. I got a fever Tuesday night (6.4.19) and the tempature went up and down until Wednesday afternoon (6.5.19) when it peeked at 101.3 and I called the doctor to see what medicine I could […]
bump update :: 22 weeks
Week 22: Guys, this week was insane and I totally did not take a mirror picture of my bump… this is the only one I had and I only took it because Rylie was giving Paisley stickers <3 Symptoms :: I did a lot of physical work this week, so I got thirsty pretty quickly. […]
bump update :: 21 weeks
Week 21: Symptoms :: Exhaustion really. And I felt off all week which was a bummer but I chalk it up to traveling to another time zone so my eating and sleep schedule were different. Food Aversions :: Oddly enough, food in general became a “ugg, do I have to eat?” Food Cravings :: Ice Cream 😀 Sleep […]

grandpa’s memorial + burial services
At the beginning of 2019, Aaron and I sat down and talked about trips we wanted to take. Although we have visited our home state once a year since we moved, Seattle was not on our list to visit this year. But after hearing my grandfather (who I was extremely close with) had passed away, […]
