if you follow me on instagram, you know my brother flew into Alabama for a 10-day stay early this month. He came to visit right after Rylie was born (she wasn’t even a month old), but other than that, we only interacted when I’d visit Seattle which was always with others, brief and busy. He […]

rylie’s 5th birthday party || spiderman themed
Rylie’s love for SpiderMan was born in 2019 when the Spiderverse movie came out. She even selected a SpiderMan themed party for her 3rd gathering. Her obsession over him never died and although she had another theme planned out for her 5th birthday party, she changed her mind in September and was not budging. Even […]
life lately – october 2021
October seemed to fly by this year (compared to last year where I was in the thick of the first trimester with Spencer and struggling to make it through the day). I honestly had a hard time even remembering that it was Fall (the weather certainly didn’t show it), but we got out our modest […]
the twins – 5 years old
When we originally got Kylo & Rae (brother and sister puppies), we calculated their birthday to be around a week before Rylie was born. So, I called them the triplets. Since Rae left us, we call them the twins. There’s a gap for year 3 and 4 years old because Kylo went missing for almost […]

happy 28th birthday aaron
one of my favorite things about September (aside from the anticipation of Fall) is Aaron’s birthday. The day before his birthday, the kids and I went and got some giant number balloons. That afternoon we decorated the living room with streamers (my parents were so good at decorating with streamers and I’ve decided I need […]
life lately – august 2021
August was packed full. August 8th felt like our last day of summer because Aaron went back to work from his paternity-leave on August 9th and we were starting school that week. But on our last evening of Summer, the girls basically bathed themselves in dust and it was hilarious. We were bummed to see […]
