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 […]

our new friends from build-a-bear
Anyone a How to Train Your Dragon fan? Well, I hate to tell you this, but your fandom pales in comparison to Rylie and Emmaline’s. 😛 These girls are all about Toothless and his friends these days, and when I remembered I had a Build-A-Bear gift card sitting in my drawer waiting to be used, […]
potty training sticker chart + a praise sticker chart for older sibling – printable

To continue our family’s monthly themes (Jan – winter | Feb – the human body), March’s theme is the weather! And today, I’m sharing the craft I created to help my 3-year-old and almost-2-year-old learn about rainbows. I grabbed two sheets of blue construction paper to represent the sky and glued two cotton balls (I […]
backyard umbrellas
It has been raining a lot here in Alabama lately, and even though I absolutely love the rain, after a couple days we needed a break outside. So we grabbed our umbrellas and headed to our backyard. Please note the veggie straws being clutched in Emmaline’s hand 😛 I don’t know if the umbrella was […]
