Back in June 2018, I shared Rylie’s first experience playing with my childhood dollhouse (which finally gave Aaron some satisfaction for hauling it in our cross-country move when we had no children haha). But since we moved to this house in December, it’s been a core part of our playroom. “Mama, do you want to […]

summer swims
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
rylie || 3 1/2 years old
I did a fun little update for our oldest at 1 1/2 and 2 1/2, so why not add 3 1/2 too 😉 Rylie is officially 3 ½ years old today, and I thought it would be fun to do a little update on how our oldest girl is doing and some impressive milestones she […]

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 […]
FREE LEARNING ACTIVITY PRINTABLE & THEMED SNACK FOR TODDLERS: human body themed
This month I focused on teaching my toddlers the basics of the human body. It was a lot of fun because I kept it simple. One morning while we were eating breakfast I went through the process of our food – from how our teeth breaks it down to how what our body doesn’t need […]
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 […]

But ultimately, I hope you embrace the fierce, unwavering love of the Father. His love for […]
valentine’s sugar cookies
It’s Valentine’s week and I wanted to kick it off with making sugar cookies. So Sunday morning (2.9.20) the girls and I whipped up a batch. Emmaline showing off her sticky, dough covered fingers. This was Rylie’s contribution to the cookie cutting process haha. This girl was constantly sneaking bites of cookie dough… 😛 The […]
