Mother’s Day started off early for me – 5:30 am early. Paisley woke up famished (at least that’s how she was acting) but after she ate her bottle, she fell asleep again. I was awake and figured I’d utilize the time and enjoyed some worship, a devotional and messaging some mama-friends before Aaron woke up […]

the first lake day of 2020
Saturday afternoon (5.2.20), Aaron proposed the idea of spending a few hours at the lake on Sunday (5.3.20). Typically, the lake is not my happy place. I don’t get to relax and it’s a lot of work. He promised he would do his best to help me enjoy the day, and knowing the girls would […]
strawberry patch 2020
The last time we went to a strawberry patch was back in 2018 when we went to Florida to visit our friends (right after we had Emmaline). It was a lot of fun so I was excited when I found some close by. My sister+mother-in-law came with the girls and I which made it even […]
week seven of “family month”
Week 7 of “family month” (or quarantine) is checked off. How was your week? More of the same? The end of the week was slightly different for us – we rode in the truck while Aaron made some deliveries for work and we spent a couple afternoons at my in-law’s house. It was nice to […]
week six of “family month”
Week 6 of “family month” (or quarantine) is checked off. Another week has come and gone and I don’t know about you guys, but I sure would like to have some idea of when we can play with our friends, go to the zoo and the library again. Are we talking weeks? Months? I admittedly […]
week five of “family month”
Week 5 of “family month” (or quarantine) is checked off. Although there are rumors of certain things re-opening, I am just living each day as I have the last few weeks. “I’ll believe it when I see it” is kinda my mindset. In the meantime, I feel like I’m creating a really good, solid routine […]
easter 2020
Covid-Easter was one of my favorites. Normally, Easter Sunday is spent separate – Aaron serving multiple services at our church while I serve by caring for our family at home. But because church is strictly online during this season, we were able to spend our first Easter with kids at home together! We started the […]
week four of “family month”
Week 4 of “family month” (or quarantine) is checked off. Does this feel normal yet? 😛 Week 3, Rylie asked a lot about playing with her friends. This week, going places was on the top of her mind. “Are we going bye-bye?” she’d ask eagerly as we walked down the stairs. “No Hun. Not today. […]
shaver crew school
Covid-19 has forced families to do a lot of things they wouldn’t normally do, including homeschool. Honestly, homeschooling is not for everyone. Not everyone is called to do all the things Covid-19 has required of us, so please extend yourself a lot of grace in this season. However, before we even had kids Aaron & […]
