And just like that, we are onto another year. 2022.. you will be missed, but I am so excited to see what 2023 has to offer. fAVORITE MOMENTS OF THE YEAR There are so many moments I am thankful for this year. We got to spend a lot of quality time as a family, enjoyed our home, and really dive into what's important to us. These are my top 3 moments of the year, for big items we have wanted to make a reality for our family. We got Dylan a 4 wheeler for his birthday and th[...]
Wow, that was exciting, nerve racking, scary, exhilarating all at one. Ok, maybe all a little dramatic, but recording my very first solo show after not recording over almost 2 years gave me all the feels. I am so excited to be back. This is just a sneak peek episode on what you will be getting each Monday. The goal of the podcast is to be the mom friend you want, but don't have time for. This is the best friendship because you don't have to give me anything and its 100% on your time[...]
You know that girl in high school that you’ve never actually met but don’t like? You have the same mutual friends, but for some reason (actually, there’s no reason), you aren’t friends. Girls are taught at a young age to compete instead of collaborate. We are taught to put down instead of support. We are taught that there is only 1 spot, when in reality, there is room for everyone to be successful. Well, that was us. Hannah and I weren’t friends. We didn’t like each other, but n[...]
Ok, so I know I am about a month late on this, BUT.. there has been A LOT going on. We are currently moved in to our new home, but that doesn't mean we are done renovating/decorating/DIYing the farm life. I started writing this and well, trying to get in our new home took precedence. I am now putting it all together, so you can follow our journey to the farm life, and all of the ups, downs, and learning experiences that come along with it. I'm currently running on a lot of coffee to get thro[...]
Once you have kids, vacationing is an entirely new ball game. It is so important to us to go on vacations as a family, but also sans little guy. Of course we love him so much, but we need our alone time too. A quick weekend cruise was the perfect way to do it! Living close to the cruise port makes it easy to hop on a ship for the weekend and be back to normal life the same day you dock - good and bad - but totally worth it! This trip we went on Royal Caribbean's[...]
Dylan, Three years old already! I told your daddy yesterday morning it feels like this means you are no longer a baby. You are so full of life! I love EVERYTHING about you! This year has been filled with learning experiences for us all. You talk in sentences, have conversations, play soccer at daycare, and have started going "pee pee on the potty!". You amaze me every day. I don't think that I will ever really get over the fact that God blessed me so much by letting me be your mommy. For t[...]
