Free to Struggle
Last week I uploaded some family photos to social media. Let me just say that I absolutely love them and they are amazing. I will cherish those photos forever. I received so many wonderful compliments and kind words of how beautiful we all look. These comments truly are so sweet and meaningful, but I have to be honest, all those kind words made me cry. I cried at first because your thoughtfulness made me feel so grateful for all I have in life. … Continue Reading »

Home in Myrtle Beach
Hey Everyone! I’m sitting at my new kitchen table in our new home here in Myrtle Beach! It’s been ages (at least in the social media world) since we’ve updated the blog. And man…it feels good to get on here and type a little something. This last year, was definitely a whirlwind. It was full of transition and change. If you haven’t been following along, after 10 years, my husband finished his medical journey and graduated from his residency program. Can I get … Continue Reading »

DIY Built-Ins
So I figured it would be appropriate to show y’all this project now that it has been done for a whole year lol! I’ve wanted “Built-Ins” since we moved into our house 3 years ago. Finally after nagging the hubby for the first 2 years, he helped me build them! I looked online for inspiration, but ultimately we used our own plans for the project. They are not technically recessed or anything, but they are attached to the wall. I’m basically going to … Continue Reading »

We Did Disney!
Disclaimer: This isn’t a post written by a Disney expert. They pay other people the big bucks for that! Lol About two weeks ago, my parents took us to Disney World. Spoiler Alert–It was sensational! (that’s why I have to share this with you all!) The kids had the best time and it really was “magical.” Initially, I was expecting a good trip, but mostly an exhausting or “heavy” parenting experience. I figured the kids would like it, but us as the parents … Continue Reading »

What’s Been Cookin’…Healthy Lifestyle Changes
This post piggybacks on Liz’s last post a little bit. In October, I wrote a post about me being a little bit of an emotional mess when my husband was deployed and how caring for a toddler and newborn drained me. It took until Nora was 16 weeks old for her to get out of her colic phase. When that happened I had all the praise hands! Anyways, I tried to give myself a lot of GRACE and just make it through. But when that … Continue Reading »

What’s Been Cookin’ Part 3
Round 3 of What’s Cookin’ is here! I’m trying something a little different to help meal plan during this season of life, and I love that as our days change, our meal plans and organizing can and will too. What I’ve been doing lately is actually pretty basic, but efficient and handy. After trying Prep Dish (see previous post), I really liked the idea of having my meals planned and prepped for the whole week. Last year, that plan worked great, especially since David … Continue Reading »

A few Friday thoughts
This week my daughter came home with her weekly homework folder and the new assignment to complete an Acts of Kindness calendar. Each day she is supposed to choose one act of kindness and log what she did on her calendar. She was given a list of 100 different kid ideas ranging from: holding the door open for someone, picking up litter, telling a joke, or volunteering in a soup kitchen. At first, I thought this “homework” was a little odd. Definitely different from … Continue Reading »

Favorite Baby Essentials
Well it’s only taken me a month to write this post, but I got it done LOL! So with our second daughter born a few months ago, we pretty much had everything we needed in terms of baby gear. I got a few little extras (like a double stroller!) but other than that we were good to go! I thought I would share some of my favorite everyday items that you definitely don’t have to have, but sure do make life a whole … Continue Reading »

December Favorites
Its been a while since I’ve posted about the things I’ve been loving, and it seems like there are so many things lately–so here’s a long over due favorite things post! Christmas Advent Devotional-So we are only 3 days into this Christmas devotional and I’ll be beyond impressed if we can do this everyday, or make it past day 7–but so far my kids are really liking it. The introduction is written so beautifully and also comically for parents. It’s a gentle reminder … Continue Reading »
