January Twenty Sixteen

2016. New Year’s is quickly becoming my favorite time of the year. Fresh starts, new beginnings. And after 2015, a fresh start was much needed. Brian was back at work after his 12 weeks of paternity leave, I was back

Christmas Gifts 2015

November Twenty Fifteen

November. It started off with one of my favorite things, fall back daylight savings time. I love when it gets dark early; the evenings feel so much longer. And it’s cold. Dark and cold. Late fall and winter are my

June Twenty Fifteen

June was here and now it’s gone. After the hellish month of May, it was a nice change to just take it easy. June saw the kiddos’ recital, their last day of school, Saige turning nine months, family hikes, final

Number four is arriving late October 2015. If someone had told me five years ago that I would have four kids, I would have thought they were nuts. And yet, here I am, pregnant (by choice!) with number four. After Saige

October Twenty Thirteen

As always, the months are flying by. There was something making the rounds online that said, “The days are long but the years are short.” So true. I can’t believe it’s almost 2014. Really, 2014?! October flew by quickly, then

September Twenty Thirteen

Trying to keep up on this so in five years I can remember (vaguely) what we did five years ago. September, in pictures (in random order)… After a busy August, we spent more days at home in September.

August Twenty Thirteen

August was busy. Self-inflicted busy. We were gone almost every day doing something. Toward the end of the month, about 10 minutes into each outing Blaise started saying, “Mama, I’m tired. I want to go home.” And he wanted to
