Happy Monday, friends! So here’s the deal. Are you following me on Instagram yet? I may or may not have spilled the beans on the gender of our little nugget over there last week! We are so excited that at last week’s ultrasound (after three attempts) the little one finally cooperated and showed us the …

Well, I’m entirely unsure as to how it happened in an instant, but Labor Day has come and gone and it’s officially time to gear up for football season! We’re big football fans in this house, mainly NFL, but we do enjoy a good college game, too. (Also, we have a football player of our …
Friends, I have definitely had a week where I just need to cry uncle. I severely injured my right hand while we were camping last weekend (rope burn from a bit of a boating mishap) and, of course, I am right handed so trying to work this week has proven nearly impossible. Luckily it’s feeling …

Because I know this little nugget will be the baby of the family, I’m trying to be really careful about …
Happy Monday, pals! How was your weekend? Ours was kind of nutty, but in a totally awesome way. Now it’s the mad rush of work for the next days and then prepping for our big annual camping trip starting on Thursday. We look forward to this trip all year long, but it also kind of …
Friday, already? That happened fast this week! We’ve got two birthday boys in the house to celebrate this weekend so that’s going to dominate the next couple of days. One big birthday boy who turned a whopping 37 years old today and one brand new teenager turning 13 on Sunday. Bring on the cake! Or, in your …
