Happy Valentine’s Day, Loves!! My husband proposed to me nineteen years ago, today! I was still recovering from a bad case of pneumonia, and could barely stand up (I look deathly pale in all my engagement-day photos!). I feel terrible, because my husband went to such lengths that day. He had 50 roses delivered to
Whew! Merry Christmas Aftermath! Christmas evening, I looked over the sea of strewn toys, to the sprawled-out, PJ-clad bodies of our children watching a Christmas movie, and caught my husband’s eye… I mouthed with wide eyes, “We did it. I can’t believe it!! We actually pulled it off!!” We air high-fived with big, goofy grins,
Truly. These four, little munchkins, and the Love of My Life, are all I want for Christmas. I’ve kinda felt like a single mama the past several months, as my husband has been spending every spare hour on our new home, trying his best to get us moved in before Christmas. I’m so beyond thankful
We moved into our new farmhouse, this past weekend!!!! Cannot even believe the day finally arrived – it’s been a looong, challenging, two+ years. If you’re a newer follower, you probably don’t know the backstory of this whole building thing. Just over two years ago, my li’l fam and I were getting ready to move
There is nothing like going through photos of your littles in a quiet house. My heart is both exploding, and aching at the same time, right now! I just love my babies so, so much, and need to mama-gush a little. They’re such good – and I mean, gooood – kiddos. Are they perfect? Nope.

Oh, Canada! You are truly stunning with your majestic mountain ranges, sparkling lakes, winding rivers, and ridiculously clean and charming towns…. I mean beauty was to be found literally around every, single corner. My husband and I explored the area of Whistler a little each day, while we were there, and though we visited exquisite
Pretty big news around here…. We now have four little readers in our house! Our four-year-old just joined the reading ranks, and immediately flew through four entire books. All he wants to do now is read, which so, so great!! But any parent of reading-age children knows, as rewarding and amazing as it is to see
I loved my father-in-law. I don’t truly “love” (in the deep sense of the word) very many people, but I loved him. I don’t really have much of a relationship with my own dad, so I cherished the meaningful one I was able to build with my father-in-law, and thought of him as my true dad. Yesterday marked one
