How Losing my Dad has changed me
Today marks two and a half years since my dad passed away. And like people told me would happen, never has a day gone by without thinking of him. If I had known he was going to pass away before he did, I think it would have been much harder. Who knows. I held fast…

Michigan Cabin Trip
We made it back home from our Michigan trip a few days ago, so thought I’d share some of my favorite pics and memories from the trip! Before we embark on the next one to the west coast! Otherwise I’ll get way too far behind here. Most of our cabin days were spent sleeping in,…

Things I want my kids to know before they’re teens
Sometimes I get a little like whoah when I realize my oldest is only a few months away from turning thirteen. She likes to tell me I’m getting old and I’m like hey, I’m only thirty two! There are tons of moms my age where their oldest is only about six or so and I…
