It's been a few days now, but I must say, we really had an amazing holiday weekend. The not-so-fun (but sort of necessary) part involved a LOT of yard work. To start, Jay wound up taking a few days off from work and had some fun on the rented skid steer so he could regrade part of our yard that ...
Celebrating the End of Summer
After an extra fun, long holiday weekend, I suppose this is sort of the (un)official end of summer, huh? Ugh, that makes my heart hurt...it was SUCH a good one! But here we are, back to the grind today, with lots of fun memories from the past few days. We kicked off the holiday weekend with a ...
Fun Facts Friday {4th of July Edition}
1. We were blessed with some beautiful (and HOT, but you will not hear me complaining about it!) weather for the 4th of July this year. Perfect for a day at Saratoga Lake! 2. Lucas had a total blast jumping into and swimming in the lake with Jay and some of our cousins, and Alex even got in and ...
A Parenting Win Weekend
Every once in a while, we seem to get really lucky with a weekend where everything just sort of jives. The schedules flow smoothly, the kids are happy, Jay and I actually get to SEE each other (as opposed to us alternating errands in order to get done whatever we need to get done)…and this past ...

Memorial Day 2016
I’m coming back from a fabulous Memorial Day weekend (which was much different than last year!), feeling awfully thankful not only for those who gave us the reason to celebrate, but also for all that I’m lucky enough to have. I’m always so appreciative to be able to have some extra time with ...
Soaking Up the Last of Summer
Happy Labor Day, everyone! I hope you’re all out enjoying this fabulous day, whether it’s out in the sunshine, or just soaking up some extra time with loved ones. For me, I’ve been lucky enough to do both of those things this past weekend, and I’m looking forward to continuing it through ...
Weekend Fun + We Have Half a Kitchen! {House Update}
Hello! And happy Monday to you. Did you all have a fabulous weekend? Ours was really great, and for the first time in a while I was feeling much more like myself. Starting with Friday night…it was a bit of a rough week on the work front, so I was more than happy to break open a bottle of wine and ...
A Sentence Per Picture 4th
Coming off of a holiday weekend is always just a little bit tougher, if you ask me. But hey, here we are, so we might as well make the most if it, right? So did you all have a fabulous holiday weekend? We didn’t do all that much in terms of being festive (I was reminded of this as we were out to ...
