SIX YEARS. wow. when I think back to all the incredible life experiences and thoughts I’ve compiled on this space, I’m awestruck. Also, slightly terrified that it might get lost one day (maybe I should start printing them out… can you imagine that binder size? ;P ). Blogging is such a joy to me, and […]

highlights of summer 2021
The heat may still be in the air, but our carefree days are wrapping up as we gear up for our homeschool year. Our theme of a carefree summer was definitely an accurate prediction as most of our days were spent at home with a few special activities sprinkled throughout the months. Our summer kicked […]
life lately – july 2021
July started busy with getting ready for the 4th of July party we hosted. Emmaline also peaced-out and spent a few days with her aunt. As the days went by, I still struggled to adjust to the chaos of four babies. Thankfully, my moments of overwhelm lessoned and I started to get my bearings. We […]

I started documenting parts of June with Spencer’s weekly updates (see week 1, week 2 and week 3), so I thought I’d round off the month – sharing some of the photos I took and what our crew was up to. || Something the girls love to do is come into our room right when […]
playground (+ a new episode)
Aaron and I have been looking for a playground for over two years. But honestly, we weren’t willing to buy one brand new because of the price. Even Facebook Marketplace wasn’t yielding affordable results or the style we wanted. But we stayed patient and kept out eyes out and one day, it paid off. We […]

The girls were so excited for the party and were more than happy to get dressed in their patriotic clothes. Emmaline had a sleepover with Amberlyn & Ryan […]
week 3 with spencer
Tuesday (6.8.21) started off with a couple more newborn photos that I like having for personal use. When I was done, Rylie asked if she could take a picture with him. I asked Emmaline if she wanted in as well, but she declined and watched from across the room. Wednesday (6.9.21) I had some time […]
