Family pictures have become something I treasure. I love documenting our family in some way every year, and this year was no exception. At the beginning of 2020, my good friend, Brittney, launched a photography business and she’s done a couple small shoots for us. I knew when the Fall came, I’d be booking her […]

pumpkin patch 2020
I love pumpkin patches. It’s a tradition I enjoy but I was beginning to become fearful we wouldn’t make it to one this year. Thankfully, Aaron did some research and found a new patch (new to us anyway) that he wanted to try out. He figured out time off work so we could go and […]
paisley’s 1st birthday party || winnie-the-pooh themed
It’s always been a dream of mine to have a Winnie-the-Pooh themed birthday party for a child. Plus I’ve called Paisley “Sweet Baby Paisley” since she was born (“she’s sweet as honey!” was a common phrase I said), it seemed fitting that her party would be based upon a favorite book character. I thought it […]
meet toothless
Let me start off by saying Aaron and I never planed on getting another cat. We had Katara and she passed away a few months ago. She was the best & coolest cat we’ve ever owned and truthfully, we wanted to end on a good note. We like cats, but we’re dog people. We also […]
polaroid only days
You know those days when you log off, dip into the lake multiple times a day and you watch your 3-year-old slay a new venture. Yeah, that was our Saturday back in August (8.22). And the only documentation I have of the day was these five polaroids. I just wanted to encourage you to take […]
5 year blog-iversary
5 years!? Say WHAT!?!?!?! I cannot believe it has been 5 years since I stepped out in boldness and claimed this little corner of the internet. If you’ve been around a while, you know the blog got started because I was tired of calling everyone I knew back in Seattle (2 months after we had […]
first day of school pictures – 2020
Today we kicked off our first day of school! of course, classic first day photos were taken 😉 I’d like to point out that both girls picked out their own outfits – from their shoes to their hair. It is so their style too which I absolutely love! It may be their first day of […]
sc school orientation 2020
On Saturday (8.8.20) morning, Rylie expressed her desire to make a Forky. Since we’re starting school this Thursday, I decided to go all out and make it a full on orientation. Signs and everything 😛 Rylie’s focused face! 😛 From there we made our Forky. Once her Forky had been made, she yelled “I FINISHED […]
our first family camping trip
About a week ago, Rick & Michelle (Aaron’s parents) bought a camper. Even though Alabama is crazy hot right now, we wanted to take advantage of the time Aaron has off work (due to his Covid recovery). Schedules worked out with Rick & Michelle so we packed up and left for a two day camping […]
quarantine – round two
Round two of quarantine started on Thursday (7.16.20) because Aaron tested positive to Covid. Thankfully he recovered incredibly fast and will be returning to work this week. As I look back on our round two of quarantine, I feel like it was different than the first one in the Spring. For starters, I feel like […]
