Before I share all our pictures, stories and links to the best places to eat on the island, I want to provide some backstory of how this trip even happened. Apparently, Aaron has been planning this trip for a couple of years. He knew that swimming with turtles has been on my bucket list since […]

books i read in april, may & june 2019
I transitioned from a working-mom to a stay-at-home-mom during these months and I must say it was much harder to find time to read then when I was a working-mom. However, I am still determined to read and listen to books, podcasts, etc. Here are the books I read this past April, May and June. […]
a letter to our first house
Dear our first house, I realize it’s weird that I’m writing you a letter. But I’ve learned that this is the best way I can process my feelings so… humor me. It hit me differently on Monday (3.25.19). I don’t know if it was having to wake up earlier because my commute time doubled or […]
books I read in January, February and March 2019
This year I’ve decided to make more of an effort to actually read books in addition to listening to them. So in these roundup posts you’ll see a mix of both. All of my spare time understandably went towards the move, so I didn’t get to read / listen as much as I wanted to […]

thankful thursday #52
We’ve officially completed a year of thankful thursdays! Like I said at the beginning of the year, this really stemmed from Thanksgiving 2017 and my desire to keep the attitude of thankfulness all year round instead of just one day a year. Particularly on the challenging weeks, it was good for me to sit down […]
our family Christmas card journey
It’s kind of funny to think that anyone has a Christmas card journey – but you do. For example – here is ours: 2014 1st Christmas married – we mailed Save The Dates, Wedding Invites + Thanks Yous all within the first half of the year and I was done. We also had included […]
