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 […]

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 & […]
our first family camping trip
About a week ago, Rick & Michelle (Aaron’s parents) bought a camper. Even though Alabama is crazy hot right now, we wanted to take advantage of the time Aaron has off work (due to his Covid recovery). Schedules worked out with Rick & Michelle so we packed up and left for a two day camping […]
5-year anniversary living in Alabama || our move down here in 2015
Today is our 5-year anniversary of living in Alabama. Our last 5 years in Alabama have been nothing short of crazy, emotional, fun, incredible and life-changing. When I realized it would be 5 years, I thought it would be fun to go down memory lane and share the photos we took from our drive down […]
a virtual tour of seattle, wa
I’ve heard a lot about the various virtual tours popping up all over the internet. So for fun I thought I’d put together a tour of my home city. Disclaimer: none of these photos are mine. I give all the credit to Pinterest. First, we need to board the airplane. It’s a cross-country trip so […]
