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…
