I love crock pot season. It's even better when the football playoffs are on! Don't let this long ingredients list intimidate you, it's very easy to put together. I love to throw this in the crock pot in the morning and then let it cook all day. My recipe is actually kind of my own... Continue Reading →
What do you do when it's too cold to go outside and play? We decided to bake some Christmas cupcakes! We used what we had stored in the pantry already and it made for a great afternoon of baking. Carter loved shaking the sprinkles on them to decorate! Find the recipe below for a sweet... Continue Reading →
I remember being a little girl, and imagining building a house one day. When you're young, you think it's a piece of cake to just put a few walls together, choose some paint colors, and BAM your dream home is built! I remember I wanted an indoor pool, a huge flower garden, a separate house... Continue Reading →
It’s been one of those days. And I feel a little ridiculous for even saying that because I’m sure I’ve had harder days as a mom. But for some reason today hit me hard. I cried probably just as much as Payton did, and I didn’t get one single thing done on my to do... Continue Reading →

I will never forget the excitement and overwhelming feeling of joy looking town at those test words,... Continue Reading →
First of all, if you are about to try and ween your little one off of their pacifier (we call Carter's his binky), I am already sending prayers. This process has had me just as exhausted as Carter was! But we are starting to get the hang of things, so I'd love to share a... Continue Reading →
January 27, 2019 Hooray for the second trimester! I am hoping to have a nice energy change in the next few weeks ahead. Today I'm heading down with my mom (it's also her birthday) to Detroit to meet up with my sister Megan to go to a Wedding Show! Her and her fiancé Collin are... Continue Reading →
I had a special moment with Carter tonight, that I knew I needed to just take the time and write about. I decided to make a poem out of it, and I already can't get through it without crying! God is so good, and we are so thankful for our little guy. I hope you... Continue Reading →
