Our kitchen has served us well, but I always knew that I wanted to change some things. Sadly, this is the only “before” picture I could find of my kitchen. 🤦🏽♀️ There’s a whole lot of Christmas craziness going on in this picture, but that’s a discussion for another day. Right now, we need to Read More
Kitchen Update
Jeffrey & Caitlin
This past weekend our good friend Jeffrey finally got married. His wedding was originally scheduled for July, but…..#Covid. Jeffrey lives in El Salvador, which is still mostly in lock down, but his bride-to-be lives in Iowa. Which made it easy traveling for us, but slightly more difficult for Jeffrey and his family. We first met Read More
Animal Abundance
Our kids (especially Claire) love animals. Claire has been asking for a puppy since she was 3, and I told her MAYBE when she’s 13. That’s next year, y’all. 😳 I like to look at animals, and some really are so adorable, but they’re just not my favorite thing to have around all the time. Read More
Girls Trip to Galena
A few members of my “mom tribe” turned 40 this year. We originally planned on going to Nashville to celebrate this milestone, but along with everyone else in the world, Covid ruined our plans. One friend’s birthday was in May, when things were still in lock down. The other one just turned 40, and we Read More

Favorite picture: A teacher in Grace’s school tested positive for Covid, so out of an abundance of caution, other classes near that classroom are now doing remote learning for 14 days.

Center Grove Orchard
HEY HEY! Sorry I’ve been MIA from the blogging world…this little thing called life just kinda got in the way. Things have been busy but fun over here, and I’m happy to be back to blogging about it all. My mom came to visit, so we decided to take her to our favorite fall destination: Read More
Pumpkin Favorites
I have to get something off my chest: Starbucks PSL is not my favorite drink. It’s ok…and I’ll maybe drink one or two during the season, but I MUCH, MUCH prefer the cold brew with pumpkin cream. Sorry, PSL. I also am not crazy about pumpkin pie. Or any pie for that matter-I’m a cake Read More
Day in the Life
Since the kids are going back to school full time today (almost- we still have Wednesdays off) I thought I’d do one last “homeschool day in the life” for us to remember these days. I documented our day last Monday- and just an FYI- it’s pretty boring. But here we go! I usually wake up Read More
Friday Favorites
Favorite picture: Max took a turn riding in the combine this week, and of course loved hanging with Ben. And getting out of cleaning. Favorite kid quote: Grace: “We’re allowed to take our masks off at music, because, you know- we have good social distancing.” (Chalk this up as things I never thought I’d hear Read More
