Christmas Eve had us doing our usual festivities with Ben’s family: dinner at Bonefish followed by presents at his parent’s house. We ended the night with very unusual events, however, but we’ll get to that later. There was also a cookie decorating contest. With perhaps some slightly biased judging. While we were chatting and enjoying Read More
Christmas 2020
Florida 2020 {Part 1}
I have so many pictures from our Florida vacation that I’m not entirely sure how many parts there are going to be. I apologize in advance for the picture overload. Our Florida vacation this year was one of the best ever. Mostly because we are in the “sweet spot” with our kids ages- and honestly, Read More

Friday Favorites
Favorite picture: 60 degrees in December?! Yeah, we’ll take it. Favorite kid quote: Tessa, confessing all of her wrongdoings EVERY TIME she hears “you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout I’m telling you why”: “Ohhhhhh I got out of my bed last night”, or “Uh oh, I yelled at Gracie”.

Favorite Christmas Movies
Is there really anything better than watching a Christmas movie by a fire while surrounded by twinkling lights? No, there is not. I watch them all- comedies, tear-jerkers, classics, and all the cheesy Hallmark movies. But some stand out more than others and get watched year after year. I mean, of course. Kids and adults Read More
Let’s Look: Christmas Cards
Today I’m linking up with Shay and Erika to take a look at our Christmas cards. Do you still get excited about receiving Christmas cards in the mail? I feel like social media has maybe taken a bit of the fun and surprise away, since we are able to stay connected with people so much Read More
