Nick and I have been married 10 years (on the 27th)! We celebrated our milestone anniversary by leaving the kids with Nana for an overnight at Ainsworth Hot Springs. We stayed in one of their new rooms overlooking the lake and mountains. They felt like mini condos and have beautiful balconies. It felt like such … Continue reading 10 year anniversary to Hot Springs
There was a time, not long ago, when I would have considered myself in the thick of motherhood. That’s not to say that my days right now aren’t full of chaos and bottomless coffees. The “thick of it” are sleepless nights of co-sleeping your baby and coercing your toddler to go back to sleep after … Continue reading What I would tell a mom in the thick of it (from a mom of four)
I’m not lying when I say, my first dinner party was a disaster. I’m not saying it has gotten much better since then either.

I LOVE Halloween! … Continue reading Halloween kids party | Monsters Family Costumes

It’s so amazing to have friends that see the good and the hard work you’ve been doing and cheer you on … Continue reading How I lost the first 50 pounds as a busy Mama of 4
Summer has been incredible. The kids are at this sweet stage where they can truly enjoy the joys of summer break. Even the most mundane days are filled with fun moments for them. We've spent endless days in the water and in nature. We've adopted the park as our second home, where Harland has claimed … Continue reading End of Summer Rhythms
I've had the best intentions every day to write beautiful content and post perfectly curated blog and Instagram pieces. But the truth is, I'm exhausted. My creative mind is constantly creating design ideas and blog topics, but my body is saying "sorry, not today". It's super overwhelming and frustrating that the simplest of tasks that … Continue reading This was Written while pregnant with my 2nd. If you’re in “a season” this is your encouragement
