I saw this story on Well Watered Women’s IG awhile ago, and it really spoke to me. It’s continued to be on my heart so I thought I would share it with you as well. I love, love, LOVE Christmas decorations. In fact, most of my decorations are already up. Maybe that’s why this spoke Read More
Monday Motivation
Halloween 2022
It’s a holiday, so of course there were just a few balloons in our house. ð And look at that sunshine coming in- it was another beautiful day! I’ve always gone in to help when the kids were in kindergarten (usually bringing some siblings with me), and I can’t even believe this is my last Read More
Fall Festivities
We started off our weekend with pumpkin carving. Tessa decided to paint her pumpkin instead of carving it, and the other 3 didn’t want/need my help. Easiest pumpkin carving night in 13 years. A couple of Claire’s friends slept over, so they joined in as well. And then they proceeded to test out her friend’s Read More

Fall Decor
I wish I could tell you that my front entryway still looked like this. But it doesn’t. Our temps got down to 18 degrees one night, which effectively killed off my impatients and turned my white mums a not-so-nice shade of taupe. There’s also white shavings everywhere from our floor guy when he was cutting Read More
Football
This was Max’s first year playing football for school. He’s played countless times with his friends, with Ben, with cousins….but this was the first time he played on an actual team. And he surprised us with a few things. 1.- He was pretty scared to get tackled/make a tackle. Which I totally get- I can’t Read More
