It’s hard to believe that this time last year I was extremely pregnant, waiting on our loft to be turned into Sage’s room, and at the start of what I thought would be a week of social distancing. If only I knew then what I know now. I still remember putting the kids’ baskets together […]

This year’s love boxes are packed up and ready for the kids, and I had such a fun time putting them together (like always)! I almost had to pinch myself when I realized this was the first time I was putting three together. Three boxes for my three little valentines – so surreal. I’m counting […]

I’ve always been a sucker for Valentine’s Day and while I get that it’s a “Hallmark Holiday”, the cheeseball in me loves that it’s an excuse to dedicate a day to celebrate the love I have for my husband and my kids. I mean, every day is Valentine’s Day for them in our home – […]

We’ve made it to the final stretch!! My bump continues to grow, the kicks are getting stronger and carrying baby girl around is making me more and more tired toward the end of the day. Hello third trimester! This pregnancy has flown by which makes me think that maybe these next couple of months will […]

Today marks twenty weeks into my pregnancy. I can’t believe I’m at this point already and we go in for our ultrasound today to check on baby’s growth, development and find out the gender! I don’t know how, but we were really patient with our first and didn’t find out until Peyton was born. We […]

It’s normally in the morning, or late afternoon when I witness it most. The shrieks of happiness, the giggles, the pitter patter of four feet, and the sounds of two siblings playing in their own make believe world of monsters, princesses and dogs. It’s been a relationship that’s grown abundantly with every milestone. When Emory […]
