On Wednesday (3.14.18) Aaron had a couple guy friends over to watch the new Justice League movie, so I took Rylie and we went out and had ourselves a little girls night. You’d be surprised how limited your choices are when you’re trying to make plans with a toddler in the evening. You can’t […]

thankful thursday #11
I’m 37 weeks pregnant today, and I can feel it. I take great pride in being an “easy pregnant person” (I don’t get too crazy during my pregnancy) but the last 4 weeks tend to be hard for me – physically and emotionally. With everything going on in my world, it’s good for me to […]
bump update :: week 36
Week 36: Symptoms :: She is definitely a lot lower than she has been and I feel a decent amount of pressure “down there” on a regular basis so I know we’re getting closer to the end. I’ll get random physical discomforts too (pings in my belly, sharp but quick pains in various places, lower […]
what the lord has been teaching me about rest this pregnancy
Accepting a job offer and finding out I was pregnant all within 3 days was not something I was planning on, but praise God for his perfect timing. Working full-time and being pregnant at the same time was new to me since I was blessed to be able to stay home throughout my pregnancy with Rylie, […]
letters to rylie || you won’t remember
Dear Rylie, The time of you being an only child is coming to an end, and it’s been heavy on my heart how to transition from “my daughter” to “my daughters.” From “my #1 girl” to “my girls.” From “my best friend” to “my best friends.” You won’t remember what life was like as an […]

Week 35: Symptoms :: I’ve been feeling some pressure and pings in parts of my belly but my doctor told me that’s just everything getting ready. Otherwise, I’m just constantly fighting exhaustion. Food Aversions :: Popcorn salts. Aaron bought a variety of flavors for our small group and even though he and our guests rave […]
my 24th birthday
Sunday (3.4.18) was my birthday, and even though it was a very normal, busy Sunday, I did get to do a couple things that were special and made me feel celebrated. For starters, I got to sleep in until 7:30am, which felt phenomenal! I got dressed before going out to make breakfast for myself […]
our maternity session – emmaline
I am definitely someone who puts a high priority on getting maternity photos taken. I find so much value in having photos that show off my bump and the style of our family. I have loved looking back on the ones we took when I was pregnant with Rylie, so I was excited to have […]
the best usborne books for easter – 2018
I have so many fond memories of Easter as a child. After church, my parents would hide our collection of plastic Easter Eggs and my brother and I would go hunting for them. Throughout the years my parents did various renditions of this. – usually it was candy and coins in the eggs, but one […]
