I don’t know if you’d technically say that buying gifts nine days before Christmas would be considered “last minute”, but if you like to do all of your shopping online like me, nine days to go is definitely teetering on “last minute” if you want you gifts to arrive on time.

Slice of Life: December 12th, 2019
Well…. I have a few pictures for ya today. Quite a few. 🙂 I was telling a friend recently that we basically spent April – September of this year laying lower than normal while trying not to over-commit or over-extend ourselves during the end of my pregnancy then into the beginning of our lives with Jillian on the outside. Something… Keep Reading
A Beachy Thanksgiving in Gulf Shores, Alabama
Thanksgiving at the beach was a good, good idea! My mother-in-law suggested it a couple of months ago, and you didn’t have to twist any of our arms too hard to get on down there! My in-laws rented a neat little house on the bay side, and the two of them, our family of five, three dogs, and Jamie’s grandmother… Keep Reading
Why You Should Shed Self-Imposed Expectations of What Christmastime Should Look Like
Every holiday season I go through some level of feeling that maybe we aren’t quite “seizing the season” enough by enjoying all of the wonderful activities there are offered in our community for children.

There are dozens of electric pumps to choose from, and many of those… Keep Reading

Have you seen Frozen 2 yet? I took Hadley and Sadie to see it on Saturday afternoon, and I loved it just as much (if not more) than they did! I thought the deeper storyline, the animation and special effects, and the music were all fantastic. I teared up a couple of times too, which some friends had warned me… Keep Reading
Slice of Life: November 25th, 2019
Today is a beautiful Monday morning here in north Alabama. It’s a cloudless day with deep blue skies, in the 50s (perfect fall temps IMO!), and all three of my babes are happy at school (the big two) or with my mother-in-law (the baby). But I might be the happiest all of them because I have 2.5 hours to sit… Keep Reading
Slice of Life: November 23rd, 2019
Happy weekend! I am so behind with off-loading pictures from my phone onto this ole blog, but I’m going to do my best to play catch up because we’ve had some sweet happenings lately that I’d love to share here. 🙂 I’ve taken monthly pictures of all three girls in this rocker, and one day I’ll get around to comparing… Keep Reading
