vlogs
There was a time where I created “Life with the Shaver Crew” as a show on YouTube. It lasted a few episodes and I really did have fun with it. But, per usual, my life got hectic and I stopped. However, I’ve really latched on to Instagram’s Reels the last year and the last couple […]
we’ve lived here for one year (& we’re not moving!)
Aaron & I cannot believe we’ve lived on our 36-acre property for one whole year. In a way it feels like we’ve lived here longer and in another, it feels like we just signed the papers. Backstory – we have moved every time we’ve lived in our house for one year – First house – […]

emmaline started gymnastics
Since Emmaline could walk, we’ve noticed her ability to balance, tumble (intentionally) and recently, summersault. I kept putting off the idea of gymnastics, but the thought would not leave my brain. An acquaintance of ours owns a gymnastics, cheer and tumbling gym (which also happens to lease a section of their building to the new […]
