Homeschooling is a topic that has been talked about a lot more lately, and I’m really glad about it. I know homeschooling in general has mixed opinions and I’ve found a lot of people don’t know much about it and actually have lots of questions (and lots of assumptions). I wanted to share why homeschooling […]

aaron tested positive
Life Update over here for the Shaver Crew – Aaron tested positive for Covid. We are thankful to report Aaron has never had a fever and only lost taste for a couple days. He is currently saying he is extra tired and coughs frequently. In comparison to his “normal cough” when he is under the […]
panda day 2020
My grandpa’s birthday was July 12th, and since pandas were our thing, I honor his birthday by having Panda Day. Last year I did a craft and read a couple books, so this year I focused on a fun snack time while we read panda stories. Panda snack was pretzel sticks (bamboo), mini marshmallows and […]
summer swims
Ryan and Amberlyn (Aaron’s sister and her husband) invited us to Ryan’s grandparents to hang out in their pool. Uh, YES! We arrived and immediately jumped in. Well, everyone but Emmaline. Rylie loves water. She loves to swim and has really enjoyed jumping in this year. Our little fish for sure! Emmaline, on the other […]
the unexpected stay
If you follow me on Instagram, than you already know the story that our AC went out for 12 days, during which time we stayed at my in-law’s. Although we’re thankful for their hospitality, we had no idea when we packed up for just one night (on 6.28.20) that we would be there for over […]
July 4th, 2020
Our 4th of July started out pretty normal. Aaron had to work and the girls and I did every-day, normal things. But once Aaron was off, the fun began! It started with our DIY Bug Off because the bugs are out and they love me (and Emmaline!) I also stuck a roller-top on some peppermint […]
kiddy pool
I consider this kiddy pool a $7 well spent! 😉 It’s been sitting in our garage for a couple weeks, but on Sunday (6.28.20) I decided it was time to break it out. Aaron joined us as we enjoyed soaking our feet while we played simple water games with the girls. Rylie, no surprise, loved […]
the house that built me
This is the first place we actually ever lived in Alabama. We moved to Sweet Home Alabama 5-years ago and a couple weeks later, we moved into this farmhouse with Aaron’s family (Rick, Michelle & sister, Amberlyn). We claimed the basement (we turned it into a studio apartment style) and shared everything else, including kitchen, […]
5-year anniversary living in Alabama || our move down here in 2015
Today is our 5-year anniversary of living in Alabama. Our last 5 years in Alabama have been nothing short of crazy, emotional, fun, incredible and life-changing. When I realized it would be 5 years, I thought it would be fun to go down memory lane and share the photos we took from our drive down […]
week eight of “family month”
When Covid-19 really cracked down on March 16th, I honestly thought it’d last a couple weeks. Ha! More like two months. “Family Month” turned into “family two months” real quick. As we look to the future, our state is slowly reopening so I’m deeming “family month” (or quarantine) over. I’m a little behind on posting this […]
