November is always a busy (read: crazy) month for us. Our two oldest both have birthday’s a week apart and shortly after is Thanksgiving, which means a lot of planning and baking and eating of pies. This is only one of the reason’s why I haven’t taken the time to write on here this past […]
Life
A Baby Boy!
We had our ultrasound yesterday and discovered that we’re having a baby boy! I had my suspicions that this growing baby was a boy (as did my husband and some friends) so I was overjoyed when those suspicions proved to be true. I don’t believe I will ever tire from ultrasounds. Even now, during my third […]
The Pregnancy Card
True story: I cried at the grocery store the other week. I didn’t just cry, I cried. As in, balled my eyes out while my two-year-old was screaming and my four-year-old stuffed her face with a free cookie. I wish I was joking. It would have been easy if I was… say, obviously pregnant. You […]
Coffee: A Love Letter
Dearest Coffee, As hard as it is for me to say this, I think we need to spend some time apart. You see, I once looked forward to your company every week. I knew exactly what I wanted and you always provided. Sometimes you needed more cream, but it wasn’t anything we couldn’t work through […]
Dust, Dust, and More Dust
This week has been a little crazy in home renovation land. Last weekend we painted the exterior of the house and removed the carpet in the girls’ shared bedroom. Right after getting out of paint mode, we moved on to demolishing our tile floor. I’m not gonna lie, it was a little fun. Since then, […]
The State of Our Living Room
I mentioned in this Instagram post that I had rearranged the living room. We recently upgraded to a king size mattress and needed to reconfigure the living room for it to fit. If our living room/bedroom/dining room was staying the same small size, we probably wouldn’t have expanded from a queen bed to a king […]
Oh Hey, I’m Pregnant!
I’ve been wanted to scream this from mountaintops for nearly three months but I just couldn’t figure out how to. Crazy, I know. There’s this huge difference in my mind when announcing this sort of news to my family and friends (“So Mom, I’m having a baby!”) and to the internet. I had this urge to […]
Catapult Building + A Giveaway
This is a sponsored review with Mums the Word Network and Creator Box . All opinions are my own. Last week was our first week of homeschool. After much anxiety about it being a complete disaster, it went surprisingly smooth. My son and I have both enjoyed it, which is such a relief. One thing […]
Owning and Constructing
After almost a year of consideration, we’re moving forward with buying the house we are currently renting. We’re also enclosing our screen porch to enlarge our living room – which is also our bedroom – and adding a storage shed in our backyard. We discussed going all in and adding a third bedroom and a second […]
Hello Out There
If you ever came across me in person (say, in the plant department at Home Depot), chances are I’d chat about what Eliana ate that day or what new dance move Boop mastered. I’d also probably mention how I feel like a slacker for not starting homeschool yet – soon, though, I’d reassure myself. I […]
