The list of things I'm absolutely sure of in life isn't terribly long. But I will tell you I'm certain that having a birthday during a global pandemic is the pits. I do not recommend. We've cancelled all birthday plans, celebrations with friends, and having all of our family over. James has literally been planning … Continue reading {Erika Lynne ~ #Thirteen}

{The Story of Nest Sixteen}
We rang in the New Year down at my grandfather's cottage so it seems like a perfect time to share the story of Nest 16. I've been "strongly encouraged" to blog our adventures for the last few months so here it is!! If you know anything about Paxton, you'll appreciate how special this whole … Continue reading {The Story of Nest Sixteen}
{Paxton ~ This is 10}
Oh my sweet boy. Ten years old today. Double digits. A whole decade. When you showed up, I was worried my heart wouldn't be big enough for all the love for two babies. You showed me that a mother's love doesn't divide. It doubles. Thank you so much for being my noticer. Thank you for … Continue reading {Paxton ~ This is 10}
This is Twelve
I feel like I say it every year. I can't believe this girl is TWELVE today. Twelve! But this year I feel like saying I can't believe this girl is ONLY twelve. Of course I long for the days of princesses and baby dolls and it makes me so sad to put all of … Continue reading This is Twelve

{Back to School}
We finished our first week of school and we survived!! Sometimes that's all you can ask for! But really it wasn't bad. First days and new schools and getting back into routines aren't always easy but once we get our sea legs, we'll be fine! Middle school is no joke, y'all. I'm so happy that … Continue reading {Back to School}
{Paxton – Happy 9th Birthday}
This sweet boy is NINE today!! I cannot belive it. This guy has the biggest heart and the kindest soul. He's always thinking of others and making everyone laugh at his silly jokes.

{Camden ~ This is Five}
OH my sweet baby boy! How can you be FIVE!? Smart, adventurous, kind, and so so funny! My time spent one on one with this guy is GOLDEN. While the big kids are in school, you're my buddy. My sidekick. I cherish our time together and it makes me sad to think of when you'll … Continue reading {Camden ~ This is Five}

{2017 Year in Review}
Anyone who knows me knows that I have a hard time choosing just one! If there's an A or B option, I want C: All of the Above. So narrowing down a few of my favorites from the past year is such a daunting task!! I have SO MANY!! I love watching these faces grow … Continue reading {2017 Year in Review}
