Can you believe we are just days away from Memorial Day Weekend? It’s most importantly a time to celebrate the meaning for the holiday with our families. It’s also a symbolic time for the official kick off of summer: time for bbs, beach, end of school and long days outdoors! To prepare for the summer months ahead, it’s a great… Read More

Ready for a bight & cheery book list?! To be honest, reading in general makes us smile. It’s the end of the day and we settle in for a book. It’s before nap and someone hops on your lap. When you’re reading to kids, you’re close by, snuggling up. Now that my older two can read, one of their “chores”… Read More
I’m finally sharing details from Miles’ 2nd birthday bash. He had a Pajama Party Brunch 2nd birthday. We always joke that as a 4th child, Miles lives in pajamas.

Fun Fact: We did not find out the gender ahead of time for any of our four babies. We have 2 girls and 2 boys and I guessed wrong almost every time. For us, all of the “old wives tales” were wrong when guessing. With our first, everyone told me I was having a boy, to the point that… Read More
