No holiday is complete without cheese. None! I’m normally all about the cheese boards, but the thought of this turkey cheeseball was so fun in my head that I had to put it together. Thanksgiving can be a holiday that embraces the cheeseball, right? Better than mockolate! I’m giving air fives to all of my […]

Now that we have almost two months of homeschool under our belts, can I call myself a homeschool mom? I certainly feel like one. Some days are great and we get through lessons easily, other days Peyton is not into it, Emory wants me to go through school with him at the same exact time […]

It’s so strange to think about how different the Fourth of July will be this year. Last year, we watched our town’s parade, had a ton of fun with a bunch of our friends and their kids in our backyard, celebrated my mom’s birthday with my extended family and then watched the fireworks with Brett’s […]

Have I mentioned how much I love my mom friends yet? We just get each other. We can talk about anything because right now in this life, we relate to pretty much everything. We bond over toddler tantrums, birth stories and moments with our kids that make our hearts melt. These are my people!!! I’m […]

It’s been too long, friends! Over a month to be exact. While I’ve missed posting about motherhood and creating recipes, it’s been so refreshing to take a full step back, enjoy all of the newborn snuggles and journey through the hills and valleys of this season. Life with three has been beautiful, magical, tough, exhausting, […]
