I saw a meme the other day that said – Me: takes spider webs down with a broom. Me: hangs fake spider web up for Halloween (with a picture of a guy with an annoyed/disgusted look on his face as the spider). It made me laugh out loud because it’s so spot on!! This is […]

How are you all doing? Hanging in there? We have our great days, and our not-so-great days. Our days filled with different activities, and days when all I want to do is sleep or get housework done. It’s strange not seeing anyone and barely going anywhere besides the doctor’s office and the Target parking lot […]

No distance between these two!! I’m so thankful they have each other during this time of social distancing. Staying home is tough, especially with kids, and while it’s going to be a long couple of weeks, I want to make sure we’re doing our part to help flatten the curve. So… in we will stay. […]

Happy March, friends!! I’ve never been big on celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, but I do enjoy having corned beef and cabbage the day of and of course, a handful or two of Lucky Charms. But with the kids, it’s been fun to do special things for each holiday. Last year, we made these Lucky Charm […]

It’s been a relationship that’s grown abundantly with every milestone. When Emory […]

We really enjoy Halloween at our house (minus the scary stuff!) and look forward to continuing on with our Halloween family traditions. This year’s baskets include a […]

Peyton has been into fairies ever since we bought A Fairy Friend by Sue Fliess a couple of years ago. It is the sweetest book. The illustrations and poetic phrases about how to build a fairy garden and make fairy friends is a dream. We made our first fairy garden after reading it and I wrote a […]

I have this ongoing note in my phone with recipes I come up with on a whim. Whether I’m in the grocery store and see a food I’d like to use in a recipe, or if I’m at a restaurant and become inspired by a dish I’m eating, I’m always adding to the list. I […]

I’ve found that the easiest way to get kids to eat veggies is in smoothie form. Peyton will usually eat any veggie we give her and often asks to eat them raw (she’s something else), but Emory has a select group of veggies he will eat and others kind of have to be “hidden” in […]
