Easter 2021 was so different than last year, and in all the good ways. The girls woke up to simple Easter buckets with a new water bottle, a book and a chocolate bunny. Rylie also got a pair of slider-sandals for martial arts. For starters, we were able to attend church vs. watching online which […]

emmaline’s 3rd birthday day
Emmaline woke up to a hallway full of streamers and a fun breakfast table set-up. She got to enjoy JACK’S for breakfast (one of her favorites) while watching one of her favorite movies – Rio. After breakfast, we got ready for the day and headed out to her requested activity. But not before a donut […]
the new trampoline
A few months ago I took the girls to a local trampoline park and it was such a hit! They’re asked to go back multiple times but the price is just outside our budget to attend on a regular basis. With the recent move to our new property, we’ve been wanting to get a trampoline […]
“we’re gonna be a show!”
You know when you have a dream in you and you sit on it for a looonnggg time!? And the longer you sit on it the more you start convincing yourself it’s not possible, silly or a waste of time. That was me with this idea of having a “show.” A regular vlog with a […]
snow morning
“IT’S SNOWING!!!!” Aaron and I were awoken by a screaming Rylie at 6:30am. Aaron glanced outside and said, “oh hun, it’s not snowing, it’s just frost.” I looked closer and said, “um, I think it actually is snowing.” We both looked again and Aaron agreed it was actually snowing. The last time is snowed was […]
moving week
Moving week feels like a whirlwind. Like I shared in our “the story leading up to our move” post, the owners of our new home were kind enough to let us move in despite having a for sure closing date. We found out on Monday (2.1.20) afternoon and almost immediately drove out to the property. […]
the story leading up to our move
We’ve lived in this wonderful home for a year, and now here I am writing a post explaining that we are moving / we’ve moved. Like most things in our life, it’s a crazy story. Ha. ;P Back at the beginning of August, we went with Rick & Michelle (Aaron’s parents) to look at a […]
a letter to our second house
Dear our second house, I realize it’s weird that I’m writing you a letter, but I did it for our first house, so I kinda felt like you deserved one too. You were the result of a long, exhausting but rewarding search. We sold our first home and searched for a new home to call […]
we’ve moved
hey hey! First of all, I’ll admit I’ve been quiet here on the blog. I think by the title of this post you understand why *insert exhausted face* haha Before I spam your week with moving blog posts, I wanted to make the formal announcement that our crew has moved. We aren’t too far, just […]
2020 in review
As I was working on this post, I was surprised at what was this year because it seems so long ago. 😛 2020. I swear it’ll be a phrase we say when crazy happens non-stop. “wow! that is so 2020 man.” hahaha last year I said “bring on the roaring 20’s,” & it definitely roared […]
