Home + Life + Motherhood
I'm a mama of three. As my kids are getting older I'm realizing how important it is to stay organized. My kids are all into sports and activities now. It seems like every day of the week there is some sort of practice or game or school activity happening in addition to all the chores… Continue reading DIY: Family Command Center
I know I don't share my photography work quite as much around here anymore. To be honest, 2019 was a tough year for me creatively in that area. I went through a little bit of an identity crisis. Mom life has become busier than ever. Having three kids in school and activities is no joke.… Continue reading Top 10 Images of 2019
Since we did a big remodel of our main living areas this year, I had to completely rethink and redesign our Christmas decor. The biggest challenge was the mantel. We recently moved the TV to hang above the fireplace which meant none of my usual holiday decor would fit in that spot anymore. The TV… Continue reading DIY: Mini Pom-Pom Christmas Tree
Holidays and birthdays, and life in general, have always been about experiences in our house. We try not to focus on the things, but instead create memories along the way.

I always search Amazon first whenever there's something we need and they usually come through for me. You all seemed to enjoy… Continue reading Amazon Finds For Your Everyday
It has begun. Summer vacation, yes, but also a big first floor renovation! This has been a long time coming and I couldn't be more excited. For now, though, it means the five of us are basically living in the basement. Yes, it's a large basement and we have a full kitchen down there, but… Continue reading It’s Game Night: Our Favorite Family Games
Well, hi there strangers! It's been quite awhile since I've written. I'm sorry about that and I promise to be better about it. I've mentioned many times that we live across the street from a 1600 acre park. It's amazing. We've created so many memories there already in our 3.5 years in this house and… Continue reading Our Spring Tree Tradition
I know. That's a very morbid title, but maybe it was enough to capture your attention. Tomorrow I'm having surgery. A hysterectomy. I'll spare you all the details and reasons why, but it's time. Our family is 100% complete and it's time I focus on myself for a minute. I've been having a lot of… Continue reading In Case I Die Tomorrow
It's the start of a new year. We're supposed to be making proclamations of change and committing ourselves to doing life differently; to being "better" at life. We all do it.
