The first time I ever went skiing was in December 2016. It was before kids and the first winter post-collegiate running. On this particular trip, I had a meltdown moment on the top of the mountain. This was literally my first time ever skiing and at the time we could not afford lessons for ourselves.…… Continue reading Our First Family Ski Trip: Mammoth, CA

These Are The Days (Jan. 2022)
One of the reasons I love writing, both on this blog and in my journal, is because it helps me to remember the small, beautiful moments of this particularly more challenging season of raising two little boys. Last week, I was listening to Emily P. Freeman’s podcast, The Next Right Thing. Actually, I was listening…… Continue reading These Are The Days (Jan. 2022)
Things I am Learning 6-Months Postpartum as a Second Time Mom
I wanted to take a little space on here to reflect on the first 6 months with sweet Thatcher. It is amazing that 3 years ago I wrote a post reflecting on the first 6 months of motherhood. The first 6 months with Hudson were entirely different compared to our first months with Thatcher. As…… Continue reading Things I am Learning 6-Months Postpartum as a Second Time Mom
2021 Summer Reflection
Somehow this summer went by in the blink of an eye. In a lot of ways I was expecting a slow, long summer since we didn’t have much going on, but it still seemed to fly by nonetheless.

First Family Trip as 4: Palm Springs
This summer, we have been intentional about keeping it pretty low key since we basically still have a newborn baby (he is already almost 3 months!).

While I had not yet started this blog when I was 8 weeks postpartum with Hudson, I can tell…… Continue reading How I’m Feeling 8 Weeks Postpartum
Week of Play: The Color Blue
This week we learned all about the color BLUE! It was a week full of the ocean, Cookie Monster, and denim. Blue is just one of those colors that bring a sense of peace.

Week of Play: The Color Green
This week was all about the color GREEN! It was a week full of frogs, slime, dinosaurs, and leaf hunts! Green is already becoming H’s favorite color. Most of the week he was shouting, “Green! Green! Green!” It makes sense why he loves this color so much. Most of his favorite things revolve around this…… Continue reading Week of Play: The Color Green

Week of Play: The Color Orange
For week 2 of our color unit, we focused on the color orange! It is amazing when your mind is focused on a particular thing, how much you begin to notice. Orange has never been a favorite color of mine, but after spending a week all about orange, I must say I have a greater…… Continue reading Week of Play: The Color Orange
