On Thursday (12.7.17) there was some inkling that there might be snow on Friday (12.8.17), but having a few “cried wolf” moments before, I didn’t take the weatherman too seriously. But when I woke up at 6:30am on Friday with intentions of getting ready for work and looked outside to find it covered in white […]

experience vs. stuff
As Rylie’s birthday was approaching, Aaron and I decided we didn’t want Rylie (or any of our kids) to have a lot of toys. It’s not that we’re “anti-toys,” but the heart of our decision was we want our kids to have a vivid imagination and be content with what they have rather than needing […]
simplifying the christmas season
Christmas is mine and Aaron’s favorite holiday (with Thanksgiving being a very close 2nd), and now that we have a one year old, our desires for how we focus our time during this season has become a topic of conversation and I wanted to share with you what we’re doing (and plan on continuing). We […]
bump update :: week 22
Week 22: Symptoms :: I get physically tired quickly, and bending over (or squatting) to pick up Rylie is not a natural, fluid motion anymore haha. Plus, I do not find it comfortable when she climbs over it or puts any kind of pressure on it. Food Aversions :: Nothing really. Food Cravings :: I’m […]
bump update :: week 21
Week 21: Symptoms :: I know I said this a few weeks ago, but I’ve tried to fit into some “pre-pregnancy” shirts and it’s so obvious that I just shouldn’t anymore. I guess it’s all maternity clothes and Aaron’s clothes from here on out 😝 haha Food Aversions :: Nothing specific. Food Cravings :: Pumpkin […]
thanksgiving 2017
Thanksgiving (11.23.17) this year was probably my favorite Thanksgiving to date. I slept in (only by 30 minutes, but it was nice to not feel rushed to get ready), got Rylie when she woke up and made her breakfast, and helped Michelle make breakfast for the tribe (her famous sticky buns ❤ ). I came […]
bump update :: week 20
Week 20: Symptoms :: I’ve been tired lately… but I’ve also been pretty busy. But I’m making it a priority to not commit to so many things so I can rest. Food Aversions :: Nothing specific. Food Cravings :: Eggs, peanut butter, and water 😛 Sleep :: I’ve been sleeping pretty well. I go into […]
rylie – 12 months old
SHE’S 12 MONTHS OLD!!!! SHE’S A 1 YEAR OLD!!!!! LIKES :: Eating Blueberries Walking with the help of her walker (until she falls… then she does not like it! But she’s always willing to try again.) Chasing Mommy and Daddy around the house in her Finding Nemo walker OR being chased (she laughs so […]
rylie’s 1st birthday party
We had Rylie’s 1st birthday party on Sunday afternoon on November 12th. We invited friends from various areas of our life and we were so blessed and awestruck by how many families came to celebrate our little girl. Thanks to Aaron, we had one of the best themes ever (I’m a little biased though) […]
bump update :: week 19
Week 19: Symptoms :: A growing belly and feeling more baby kicks 🙂 Food Aversions :: Sugar (like sweets) but that’s just because it doesn’t make me feel good… no matter what time of day I have it at. Food Cravings :: Cold turkey sandwich (which I’m not supposed to have during pregnancy so that […]
