Happy 4-Year Blog-iversary, The Shaver Crew! 😀 blog posts to date: 698 total views to date: 9,726 Blogging really wasn’t something I saw myself getting into. I didn’t feel interesting enough to have a blog that people actually read. But after plunging into the deep end back on August 18th of 2015 and launching “The Shaver […]

the new wooden train table
Back in February, I wrote a post called “The Wooden Train Table” and shared photos of Rylie playing with a train table and memories I had of playing with the train set I had growing up. I also shared that I was looking forward to purchasing a train set for Rylie one day. Several weeks […]
summer blast 2019
Last week was Church of the Highlands’s kids conference – Summer Blast! It’s very similar to the well-known VBS (Vacation Bible School) that lots of churches have, but it’s only 3 days (Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday). Last year I wasn’t able to get the time off work to serve, but since I’m no longer working, I […]
being the shaver crew || june 2019
June seemed to fly by. Of course, shutting down the farm (which meant cleaning and getting rid of all the animals) and then being in Hawaii for 8 days only to come home to jump into Summer Blast (our church’s VBS) definitely helped time go by. Rylie was full force per usual, learning, running and […]
5-year-anniversary shoot
I had great ambitions. We would do a couple’s photo shoot every big anniversary. But with being pregnant this year, I decided a simple backyard shoot was a good idea. So here you go – our 5-year, not super fancy or extravagant photo shoot. 😛
1 year anniversary shoot – trash the dress
I knew I wanted to do a trash the dress shoot before I even had a wedding dress. I had seen some gorgeous photos on Pinterest of this style and knew it was something I wanted to do. So after we were married and I had a dress that I didn’t mind trashing (I wanted […]
our wedding day – June 21st, 2014
Our wedding day was not the best day of our lives. But Aaron and I also agreed early on that we didn’t want it to be. I’m glad for all those who get their dream wedding or have wonderful memories surrounding this once in a lifetime event, but that isn’t our story. Despite all the […]
being the shaver crew || may 2019
May was my first month at home, and it was full! I’m sure you noticed some gaps in my posts which isn’t like me but adjusting to full time mommyhood has been more challenging than I expected and finding time to blog has proven to be one of the biggest struggles. But I am confident […]
CLOSED – shaver farms
The day after we got back from our trip to Seattle, we were told that the property my in-law’s lease, the one the farm is being run on, was no longer available to us. Obviously, that meant every animal has to go. Farm life was fun, but it was exhausting and we are actually excited […]
emmaline’s first steps
Emmaline has been on the verge of walking for over a month. She loved to hold onto both our hands (both was key! If we took one away, she plopped down and refused to get back up until we offered both again) which was hard for us to bend over that long but we were […]
