Looking back on this last weekend (3.3-6) I’m truly so thankful to have been celebrated so big and so long. It was full of surprises! For starters, on Thursday (3.2.23) my brother surprised me by flying in from Seattle, Washington. I had absolutely no idea but apparently he, my mom and my husband had been […]

georgia aquarium trip 2
On September 27th, we took another trip to the Georgia Aquarium. We bought a year-pass in July and made our first trip out in early August as a last celebration of summer. To celebrate Paisley’s 3rd birthday, we decided to go again. This trip we brought my mom who was visiting from out of town, […]
the week we went “camping” at nana’s
On Monday (8.15.22) on our way home from gymnastics, a brief but strong thunderstorm rolled through and our power went out. It remained out all night and most of the following morning. While we were at the library on Tuesday, the power company got it back on (praise!) and we went inside to wrap up […]
our first trip to the georgia aquarium
Aaron and I had to go up to Atlanta to complete an adoption to-do, but we decided to make it a family trip and do something fun after our 30min appointment. We’ve desired to visit the aquarium for several years now and we decided this was the trip to make it happen. We did some […]

seattle trip 2022 overview
Although I’ve lived in Alabama for 7 years, I’m originally from Washington State. I was born and raised up there and since we moved in 2015, surprisingly (& unintentionally) ended up visiting pretty much every year since we moved. You can see our previous trips here – 2015 – I visited for Christmas 2016 – […]
8 year anniversary – lake vacation
Some friends of ours recently purchased a lakehouse and offer it as an Air BnB between their own personal visits. When they came to our adoption yard sale back in March, they kindly offered we could stay there anytime we wanted to relax. Shortly after, we texted them asking if our anniversary would be an […]
pioneer day
My mother-in-law asked if we wanted to go to the Pioneer Museum of Alabama and oh my gosh, am I so glad we went! The girls are Little House on the Prairie obsessed (me too honestly) and I was so excited to get to expound even further on that slice of history that we all […]
our trip to illinois for gma’s funeral
Aaron’s grandmother passed away on Monday (11.29.21). She was extremely close to us all and her passing has proven to be impactful on all of us in some way. Her funeral service came together and we packed up the crew and headed out to Illinois to honor her at 7am on Thursday (12.9.21). We were […]
thanksgiving 2020
This year for Thanksgiving, we decided to drive up to Illinois to spend it with Aaron’s grandma. Rick rented an Air BnB and it was the perfect spot for all of us to stay during our trip. On Thanksgiving day, Rylie helped Amberlyn (Aaron’s sister) set the table. Amberlyn is a wedding planner so she […]
young living retreat – 2020
A couple months ago, a leader in my Young Living community sent out the idea of a 4-day retreat in North Carolina. I decided I really wanted to go and Aaron agreed to get the time off work + care for the girls so I could attend. The day finally came and my friend & […]
