For the last 15 days we’ve had various family members in town.  Most people would be pretty worn down at this point, but we absolutely love having family visit us!  All of our immediate families live close to each other so it’s more practical for us to visit them on holidays and such.  But… it’s […]

You know those special holidays when you were growing up?  For me, it was Christmas Eve, Fourth of July, and the Ramp Convention.  We won’t get into that last one right now except to say that I grew up in the south.  🙂  But the Fourth of July was always a biggie.  The whole extended […]

My entire life I’ve never had a favorite color.  I think I have commitment issues.  When I was little I’d just say pink because it was easy to say that.  But as I got older I fell in love with purple.  But any time I plan a party, I end up going with lots of […]

Today is Josh’s 30th birthday!!!!  He’s a pretty amazing guy, so I thought I’d celebrate today by sharing one of the most selfless, amazing things he’s ever done.  He sold his truck. What?  How is that selfless?  He sold a truck.  Big whoop. Except there’s so much more to it.  Seven years ago we were […]

Cleaning is something I loathe. I know, I know… no one likes it!  But for most of our 8 years of marriage we’ve wanted a house cleaner.  It was out of the question for a long time because we were in debt.  After that it just felt silly– why pay someone to do something that […]

I’ve thought about it all day to try and come up with something unique to say about my dad, Papaw, & Josh on Fathers Day. The thing is, what makes each of them great is how they are themselves. And maybe that’s not super original, but it’s true. This past week we were on vacation […]

Yesterday I showed you some pictures of our bedroom.  Like any normal human being, I had to clean it up before taking photographic evidence of it being clean pictures to show you.  But of course, I have a two year old, so nothing stays clean for long.  This was approximately 20 seconds later:Forget the house… […]

I haven’t shared much about our home because, well, there hasn’t been much to update!  We bought our first home in October after renting for the first 7.5 years of marriage.  We were surprised to find everything we wanted in a home & it’s really been an amazing experience! I’m always amazed when someone invites […]

It’s true.  I never wanted to own my own business.  I grew up seeing the back end of business and it didn’t look fun.  To me, a business owner is someone who works their butt off for years to make ends meet, and in the end, may or may not get an awesome payoff.  A […]

I didn’t take the move from the crib lightly.  My plan has always been to keep her in the crib until it becomes a safety issue (ie: she climbs out).  She’s been capable of climbing out for quite some time now, but it wasn’t until last month that she first climbed out of the pack-n-play […]
