catch up time
Between choosing to live in the newborn fog and my blogging crisis (haha), there is a lot of photos, stories and thoughts that have gone unshared. So prepare yourself because today I’m sitting alone with all 3 children resting and a cup of tea (that is still hot) next to me. 😛 Here we go. […]
new umbrellas
At a trip to Aldi, I came across a score (at least, I think it’s a score). I found kid umbrellas for $4.99. After opening all the designs and getting Rylie’s opinion, we settled on two – one for her and one for Emmaline. That afternoon, it rained which provided the perfect opportunity for us […]

letters to me || mom of 2
Dear me, I know it’s been hard lately because you’re in the thick of it.

I know your energy has been lacking, which has […]

It was Easter time and my sweet mother-in-law had gifted Emmaline a pink stuffed bunny that came from WalMart. To be honest, I truly thought it would be a fun toy for a day and then it would get shuffled to the bottom of the stuffed animal bin. And then we started noticing bunny was […]
