A year ago I was excitedly planning a Moab family trip for our kids Spring Break from school. But just before we reserved the hotel and made our plans, the world started to shut down due to Covid. Sooo, fast forward a whole year and we decided this year would work for taking our trip! […]

Every year I try to get our own family portraits taken and I love the way it allows me to see how fast our family is changing. My trouble is running out of space to display all my favorites! This year, though, my Fall was so busy taking other family portraits and weddings that I […]

A few weeks ago we got to get away on a girls trip! It was a much needed time away from all my normal responsibilities, for sure! I went with my Mom and two sister-in-laws to spend time away exploring and enjoying being together in the oldest city in America – St. Augustine. We learned […]

This last month for us has meant everyone being home all the time, as I’m sure it has for you, too. At first it definitely took some adjusting, we were just not used to being around each other 24/7 with no real breaks or outings. Finding a new normal took a couple weeks, but we […]

Back in September my whole side of my family went together on vacation to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.

Its been a long time since I’ve done one of my Tuesday Tidbits – my place to share some of the goings on of our lives around here! We’re wrapping up May which means we’ve also officially finished up our first year of homeschool. And it means our not-so-little-anymore Evan has graduated from Kindergarten! I […]

I have a confession to make – I don’t like pictures of myself when I’m pregnant. My body changes and looks so very different that its hard to see past the swelling and the size changes I go through. But this pregnancy I knew that if this was our last baby, I knew I’d want […]

Abe and I have been married almost 8 years now, and its amazing as I sit here and reflect on just how much has changed in 8 years for us. When we got back from our honeymoon, we packed up our car and wedding gifts and drove across the country from Colorado to Virginia to […]
