Baby Sprinkle (shower), an engagement in the family, ice cream craving fulfilled!? Talk about a week 😉 Don’t let the list fool you though, I had a couple rough days this week too where I wasn’t focusing on my blessings, but on my struggles. But after a good talk with my best friend and […]

bump update :: week 34
Week 34: Symptoms :: Y’all – my back cannot catch a break 🙁 There have been some mornings I wake up in so much discomfort it takes everything in me to even move. I do see a chiropractor and use a heating-pad, but neither of those have “fixed” the discomfort. I also get really thirsty […]
the ending of our cloth diaper journey
When we were pregnant with Rylie, I had done some research and found out that the average family pays between $2-3,000 a year on disposable diapers, but a family who does cloth diapers only spends a few hundred. 22 years old and living paycheck to paycheck, we were definitely up for any “money savers” and […]
emmaline’s baby shower
On Saturday (2.24.18) I had my baby sprinkle for Emmaline. The theme was “a girls brunch,” and my dear friend, Kendyl, helped me plan it, decorate and host. I think it turned out perfectly – it was small and simple, which is what I really wanted. fun fact :: that pink tassel banner was originally […]
bump update :: week 33
Week 33: Symptoms :: I can’t see my feet haha I’m sure it’s been like this for a couple weeks, but I really took notice of it this week. I officially waddle when I walk which means I don’t walk very fast (which Aaron struggles with because his long legs put him ahead of me […]
rylie’s first steps
In October 2017, Aaron and I confidently said, “oh Rylie will definitely be walking by her 1st birthday!” When that came and went, we said, “oh she’ll definitely be walking by Thanksgiving.” That came and went. Then Christmas. Then we decided our goal was that she’d be walking before Emmaline arrived in early April. Surely […]
thankful thursday #7
How has your week been? Mine has been good but it feels like it’s been “go-go-go” even though our calendar doesn’t reflect that. I’m at the point in pregnancy too where I get physically tired quickly and I don’t like to hurry, which just requires planning. But like every week, there are multiple things […]
bump update :: week 32
Week 32: Symptoms :: I have cramping / discomfort every morning, but my doctor said that’s normal and could also be because of dehydration / hunger. I’ve had a couple headaches… which sucks but chugging water tends to help. I honestly think it’s related to lack of sleep too! Also, when I wake up in […]
the best kind of weekend
The last few weekends have been a little busy and not as relaxing as we like, so when I was looking at the calendar late last week and saw Saturday was completely empty, we purposefully didn’t fill it with anything. Friday We started our weekend off by dropping Rylie off for a sleepover with […]
banana bread recipe
There is something so magical about baking on a rainy day in a quiet house – especially when you’re indulging a craving you’ve been having. 😉 On Sunday (2.11.18) afternoon, Rylie was down for her nap and Aaron was still serving at church, so I knew I had my window to make this delicious dish! […]
