Easter weekend was full of new traditions, family, laughter, and rest! Let’s start with Good Friday (3.30.18) – I had the day off work, which was awesome! I’ve never worked for a company who gave us that day off so it was refreshing to have that extra day to relax and get ready for […]

my favorite moments from 2017
I feel like 2017 flew by – does anybody else feel that way? Looking back over the year, I can’t believe all that happened – all the joys, tears, plans and surprises! Here are the highlights of the Shaver Crew’s 2017 || We lost Roxie to a car 🙁 But we added […]
christmas weekend 2017
For the last few days I’ve been living in a cloud of sugar, pajamas, Christmas festivities, carbs (lots of them) and saying “Merry Christmas” to pretty much everyone I encounter – anyone else with me? Now that I’m emerging from this cloud, I’m excited to reflect on the cozy Christmas weekend of uninterrupted family […]
moving day
From the moment I got home from work on Friday (12.15.17) at 5pm, it was a mad-dash of packing. With Christmas 10 days from our closing date, we wanted to get into the house ASAP so we could spend our first Christmas there without a huge pile of unpacked boxes surrounding us. We loaded […]
thanksgiving 2017
Thanksgiving (11.23.17) this year was probably my favorite Thanksgiving to date. I slept in (only by 30 minutes, but it was nice to not feel rushed to get ready), got Rylie when she woke up and made her breakfast, and helped Michelle make breakfast for the tribe (her famous sticky buns ❤ ). I came […]

christmas in illinois
Like I said in my blog post last week (our little christmas), even though Aaron & I have decided our family won’t be traveling on Christmas, we decided to make an exception this year to bless Michelle. Her family (3 sisters, both parents, aunts, uncles and cousins) all live in Illinois, and she rarely gets […]
october 13th, 2012
You know how Facebook has these “On This Day” thing where it will occasionally bring up a post, photo, or video that you posted on that day a certain number of years ago!? Well, this morning I logged onto my Facebook account and was reminded that on this day 4 years ago, something sentimental happened […]
birthday / babymoon weekend
This last weekend (September 9th-11th), Aaron & I had the opportunity to go to a city outside of Atlanta for the weekend and stay at a nice hotel. Even though it was also a babymoon, it was mostly to celebrate Aaron’s birthday, so on FRIDAY night, after we were settled in our room, we went […]
