Dear our first house, I realize it’s weird that I’m writing you a letter. But I’ve learned that this is the best way I can process my feelings so… humor me. It hit me differently on Monday (3.25.19). I don’t know if it was having to wake up earlier because my commute time doubled or […]

the final touches to sell our first home
We’re closing on our house this Friday (3.29.19) and it has been gas pedal all the way down for the Shaver Crew since Saturday the 16th. Packing and moving out took a chunk, but what has really consumed our time are some repairs that needed to happen for the buyer to get their FHA loan. […]

why we love our book box subscription + a special discount
Rylie loves books, which makes me so happy because I really wanted her to. When I remember our pitiful library over a year and half ago, I’m so glad that I signed up for Usborne Books and More so I could grow our library exponentially for free. But to keep our sanity (you can only […]
a morning at the zoo
A zoo membership was one of the best investments we’ve made. Not only do you only have to go 3 times to break even, but it also takes the pressure off of seeing everything because you can come back. Although it was predicted to rain all morning, we woke up to lightly overcast skies and […]
the story behind rylie & emmaline’s names
Rylie and Emmaline’s names are mentioned often on the blog and today I would love to share with you how we picked their names. Aaron and I have an intense process for naming our kids. It is not a decision we take lightly and there are many factors that go into the final decision. Do we […]
