Managing Expectations: Third Time is (Not) a Charm, Part II

August 13, 2020August 12, 20201 Comment

Part II: A good old-fashioned birth story 😉 We may be on the tail end of James's first year earth side but here I am, still trying to document his birth.  This is what happens when you throw a newborn into the mix with a 3 and a 5 year old and then the earth … Continue reading Managing Expectations: Third Time is (Not) a Charm, Part II

Alex & Caitlin’s Joint Birthday Adventure

April 23, 2017Leave a comment

When we found out Alex's due date, we quickly realized birthday parties would be a small problem - he was due April 12, one day before his sister's birthday. He made his debut April 11 leaving us 2 birthdays to celebrate within 3 days and, being mid-April, those days (or surrounding ones) will often coincide … Continue reading Alex & Caitlin’s Joint Birthday Adventure

Sometimes You Just Need a Sticker

June 29, 2016November 29, 2016Leave a comment

I contemplated quite a bit about writing and sharing this. I struggle regularly with wanting things to be perfect so the thought of writing this and having it serve as a reminder of the not-so-great days seems backwards. But, in the spirit of transparency, here it is. You know I like to keep it real and … Continue reading Sometimes You Just Need a Sticker

Saying Goodbye & Awaiting Hello

T-minus 33 days (hopefully) until our newest family addition will make his appearance into the world. This, in other words, means I am a hormonal, waddling mess who happens to look like I am smuggling a watermelon under my shirt everywhere I go while attempting to look put together. It's fabulous, really. In all seriousness, I … Continue reading The Unspoken Guilt

Because at Christmas We Talk About Gifts

December 21, 2015November 8, 2016Leave a comment

It's hard to avoid conversations or shopping lists that don't revolve around gifts this time of the year. We become what feels like hyper-focused on finding the perfect gift for those in our life and spoiling everyone around us. This year, Dave and I took it easy on gifts and tried to focus on the details of … Continue reading Because at Christmas We Talk About Gifts

Fun Friday: Ice Cream in a Bag + An Exciting Announcement!

August 28, 2015November 5, 2016Leave a comment

It's the end of August in Phoenix which means nothing other than it's HOT and gross outside. I see other people complain about weather in the 90s and just laugh silently. The high today is supposed to be 107...mix that in with the humidity from recent storms and it makes for one disgusting weather mess. … Continue reading Fun Friday: Ice Cream in a Bag + An Exciting Announcement!
