At the beginning of the week I have all these blogged posts planned….and then the week gets in the way and I’ve only blogged once. But maybe THIS will be the week I actually get my life together. I wouldn’t hold your breath though. First order of business: updates on this girl. We had a Read More
Tough Like Tessa
Encanto Birthday
Tessa’s birthday celebrations kicked off with s’mores the night before. And a Mirabel nightgown of course. Setting decorations up the night before their birthdays (or any celebration) is one of my most favorite things. Tess was, of course, the first one up and could hardly wait to dig into her presents. It was rainy outside, Read More

Feels Like Summer
From baseball games, to sunny swimming days, to sidewalk hopscotch, to river tubing, to late night swims and games with friends. We are so, so happy you’re here summertime.
Memorial Day Weekend

When your mom is the official school balloon lady, you Read More
Last School Days
The kids finished out the 2021-2022 school year last week. I was not prepared for this year to end. With it’s ending came our very last year of Pre-K, another kid finished with elementary school, and a kid headed to HIGH SCHOOL next year. Yes, you read that correctly. Claire will be a freshman in Read More
Dance Pictures
Grace and Tessa had their dance pictures done in April. Their dance teacher had already postponed the pictures once due to uncooperative weather….but we didn’t really have much of a spring this year in Iowa and it was still only about 48 degrees when we took this pictures. So the girls look cold because they Read More
