If you are staying in Sevierville, I highly recommend checking out Wahoo Ziplines. I’m sure all their guides are fun, but we were huge fans of Leo and Eugene. They were hysterical. And kept us from dying- so there’s also that. We went first thing in the morning to beat the heat, which Read More
Tennessee Part 2- Ziplines
Tennessee Part 1- The Sinks
My parents celebrated their 40th anniversary in April. When we were brainstorming something that we could all do together to celebrate this momentous occasion (I am one of SEVEN children…with spouses and grandchildren, there are now 26 of us), my mom mentioned how her dream trip would be to have all of us stay in Read More

Favorite picture: These two get along so well. They are willing to play each other’s crazy/silly games and Claire manages to keep up with Max’s excessive amounts of energy. My younger two need to take some lessons from them. 😬 Favorite kid quote: Max: “Summer is the best. No school, you get to stay up late, Read More
OCNJ 2019
Ocean City, NJ never disappoints. I loved being there as a child, and now I love watching my children enjoy it as much as I did. It really is the perfect place for families- and once again, our family loved every minute of our stay. I mean, what’s not to love about a place that has…. mini Read More

I’m still working on posts for the 3,912 pictures I took while on vacation…so until I can sort through all of that, I thought I’d share some favorites from the week. I hope you have a great weekend! Favorite picture: Iowa winters are pretty dreadful. Brown, cold, dead-looking. Not my favorite season. Read More
Tessa is 3
Hey hey! We’re finally back and settling into the “relaxing” days of summer after being away for several weeks. So this post on Tessa’s birthday is a month late…but that’s just how it goes right now. I’m not quite sure how our “baby” is already three years old. The past three years have been full of Read More
CLOVES Family Conference
During our trip to Boston, we had the privilege to attend our first CLOVES Family Conference. I did not anticipate feeling so emotional upon entering a room filled with strong, tough kids going through life with the same syndrome as Tessa. Because CLOVES Syndrome is so rare, I had not had the chance to meet (in person) anyone else with Read More
Friday Favorites {Boston Edition}
We had the best time visiting my sister and her husband in MA. The weather was beautiful, each day was packed full of fun activities, and it was just an all around good-for-the-soul girls trip. Prepare yourself for a picture overload. Favorite pictures: We loved Wingaersheek beach with all of it’s massive rocks to climb Read More
Last Days
Our last days of school were a little crazy. Due to our nasty winter, we had to make up 14 snow days. That put our last day of school much later than it was supposed to be, and we already had plane tickets to head to Boston. Max decided to stay home with Ben, so he attended the last Read More
