These last few weeks have been an absolute blur. The busyness kicked off with hosting my dad and his girlfriend for a week at our house. Shortly after they left, we hosted our friends over Memorial Day weekend while their house was on the market. The following weekend, we visited Chattanooga. We returned from our … Continue reading #36 Busy busy.

#35 Chattanooga.
We just returned home after a long weekend in Chattanooga, and we had a great time with our little family. Andrew and I found a wonderful Airbnb just a few blocks away from the artsy district, the Northshore. It was the sweetest little bungalow, just a cozy place to unwind after our daily adventures. We … Continue reading #35 Chattanooga.
#34 Seven Years.
We celebrated our anniversary a little differently this year. Usually we get a sitter and take a night out for ourselves, but this year we took a family vacation to Chattanooga and spent it with our boys. Our last two attempts at taking a trip with the kids both ended in complete disaster, so we … Continue reading #34 Seven Years.

It is a rare occasion when I get to have quiet moments in the mornings with my little man, Nathan.

Meanwhile I'm trying to juggle getting ready and keeping Nathan entertained and out … Continue reading #28 Quiet Moments.

#21 Friday Night Movie.
My husband is a bad ass. I offhandedly mentioned a few years ago that our backyard is the perfect setup to create a movie screen with a projector so we could watch movies outside. We have two large oak trees in our backyard, and I thought it would be the perfect place to hang a … Continue reading #21 Friday Night Movie.
#20 Teacher Appreciation Week.
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and I had a few extra moments to spare to make them a little craft last night: I am so incredibly thankful for each of the teachers that play a part in our children's lives. The patience and love they show our kids just melts my heart. It is … Continue reading #20 Teacher Appreciation Week.
#19 First Written Words.
Will has been working on writing his name for quite some time now, and he’s getting really good at it. Last night, however, after writing his name, he surprised me with a second word that he taught himself to write: Mom.

#15 Beautiful Day.
It was one of those days we spent working outside in the yard.
