10 Years. 3650 days. A decade of being your wife. We’ve gone through some gut-wrenching lows, some incredible highs with many adventures (figuratively and literally) in between through this last decade of marriage. Things have never been “easy” for us but I know one thing for sure – there’s nothing we can’t conquer together. We’ve…
No one is under the weather in our home and I would like to keep it that way. ? We use a lot of supplements (NingXia Red, elderberry syrup, inner defense, Life 9) and proactive ways to stay healthy like diet limited sugar and processed carbs. I also add in great things like thieves tea…
We spent our Saturday afternoon playing with animals. We headed up to a little place out east of us called “Cathy’s Critters.” They go a lot of animal events for hire but on occasion they open up their main location for visitors. There were all kinds of animals but the Kangaroos and the Coatimundi stole…
I am note taker through and through. Give me all the pens, markers, highlighters, notebooks, and planners. If I don’t write it down, it’s probably never getting done. I’m just being honest…. We have an abundance of paper tools that we use in both parts of my life. I have Cultivate Powersheets , my Cultivate…
Three years ago I did something crazy. After a year of researching essential companies after having inconsistent results from store oils (friends don’t let friends by grocery store oils) – I bought my starter kit from Young Living with absolute certainly they were the best you could buy. I did the research and I knew…
Have hours of fun AND visit any of the Crayola Experience attractions for $15.25 a ticket.
I love to cook in the kitchen. I cook normally 3 meals a day at home 7 days a week. Sometimes we’ll have the occasional breakfast or dinner out but usually you’ll find us eating at home. We have control of the ingredients (meaning it’s healthier and we know there aren’t things we don’t eat…
“Tomorrow isn’t promised.” We’ve all heard it or said it but we don’t truly GET IT until the rug is pulled out from beneath us. For me, it was my grandmother’s passing just over 2 years and two months ago. I went back and forth on when to go back as she’d get better, decline…
I remember mopping the floor with our Swiffer pads and making A stay off the floor until it was totally dry. I remember telling her “yuckies will get on your feet! I don’t want this in your body.” I’d hustled to get the floor mopped and her onto a task until the floor was dry….
Hello there, it’s been a while. It’s been nearly six months since I last found myself here for a post. It seems like forever and a blip of time all at once. We’ve been settled into north Texas since last September. January hit and it finally felt more like home. We spent much the last…
9 years ago, we said I do and what a wild 9 years it’s been. Here we are walking into our 10th year of marriage. It’s 12.75 years of being his girl. We’ve lived 10 different houses. 4 different states. 3 amazing kids. We’re just 2 people that know 1 thing for sure – at…
I feel like it’s almost redundant of me to tell you how much I love this time of year, yet again, but it’s so true. The hustle, the bustle, the gratitude, the transition of Thanksgiving to Christmas, etc etc etc. I really do love it all. I’m a little bit proud of myself, too. Why?…
There’s just something beautiful about the holiday season it’s a time to re-count the things that you’re grateful for and many blessings you have in life. There’s just something about it that makes us more in tune with the things or grateful for and the blessings in front of us. It’s a time for tradition…
I’d like to introduce all of you to our new family member, Bodhi (bow-dee). Lovingly already getting the nickname Bodhi Bear because when he “talks” he sounds like a grizzly bear. We adopted this sweet boy this last Friday from the local SPCA of Texas. He is about 10 months, is very well mannered, and…
There’s a constant “hamster wheel” feeling when you first move somewhere new. It’s when you move to anywhere new really but it’s even more so when you move hundreds or thousands of miles away from everything your past life consisted of. Add in kids and it feels nonstop. There’s an ebb and flow that comes…
There is just something about being able to hold something between your fingers. It’s like the written word for me, there’s something tangible about holding the pages in between my fingers and holding a pen in my hand. As much as I love the digital world, there is just something irreplaceable about it. I feel…
Well, we did it! We made it to our new home in Texas and we’re settling in. We got our home in PA cleared out and on the moving truck, spent 3 nights in a hotel in PA, 5 days in a hotel in Texas, put in all new carpet and we’re moved in. It’s…
On our final day in PA, we checked out Imagi-Nation! It is a fun center for little kids with big imaginations. This fun town allows children to explore jobs, their roles, and activities they see their parents do in the great big world. There are hours of play inside Imagi-Nation with an experience that’ll make…
Today we said goodbye to our PA home for the last time. Next month it’ll be the home where a new family comes and adds more to its stories. While it wasn’t my favorite home we’ve ever lived in, goodness we lived some good life in it while we were there. I kept things together…
