Now before you go crazy, let me say we are staying in Alabama! We’re just moving towns. I know I just posted in December a really sweet post about our first home, and I won’t lie to you and say I never planned on moving because I knew we would move again eventually. It […]
the shaver crew
follow the toddler
On Saturday (1.5.18) the Shaver Crew spent the day at Shaver Farms. Aaron mostly helped with a project and aside from taking pictures of the farm animals for an upcoming website launch, I was free to follow the interests and desires of a 2-year-old. 😀 Emmaline joined us for a bit but took an extra […]
my favorite moments from 2018
2018 guys! Man, what a year. Full of joys, laughs and sweet memories in addition to struggles, heartbreak and hard decisions. Here are the highlights of the Shaver Crew’s 2018 || I continued doing bump-updates (week 26 – week 39) God told me that [right now] […]
Christmas weekend 2018
Consistent. That’s the word I would use to describe the past 4 days. We were consistently doing something, but everything we were doing was so good. This weekend was packed with sweet new memories and the beginnings of some incredibly fun traditions, and I am so excited to share these past 4 days with you. […]
our family Christmas card journey
It’s kind of funny to think that anyone has a Christmas card journey – but you do. For example – here is ours: 2014 1st Christmas married – we mailed Save The Dates, Wedding Invites + Thanks Yous all within the first half of the year and I was done. We also had included […]

As a tradition, we reserved seats for the Tribe to attend together at the main campus a few days before Christmas as the […]
the weekend before christmas
Sometimes, you just have a weekend so packed with fun and goodness that you have to write a post about it. This past weekend (12.15-16.18) was one of those weekends. I’ll admit it was different than usual, but I got a lot of time with the girls which always makes me happy. Let’s […]
what i learned in my first year of home owning
On Saturday (12.15.18), Aaron and I celebrated being home owners for a full year. Our home was a result of literally years of prayer, tears, disappointments and dreams. When we signed the papers and were given the code to the lock-box that had our keys in it, it was like being on cloud-nine. We moved […]
Christmas at the falls
Christmas activities are still going strong on Tribe Nights this month. Last night we took the hour+ drive to Noccalula Falls to partake in their Christmas at the Falls event. It was an enchanting mix of Christmas lights, decorations, food & classic drinks like hot chocolate, and festive activities including a train ride to view the […]
rylie’s 2 go
Did you know that “toys” were not invented until 1955? The exact same year that Mickey Mouse Clubhouse aired on TV and commercials now had a new audience – children. Suddenly, there was a new voice and market for children’s toys. Prior to 1955, a child received one toy a year and that was for […]
