Our Evening Routine

In our house, our evening routine starts at 5:15 PM when we walk in the door. We get home, change, and eat dinner (Monday-Thursday my in-laws cook since they are already at our house watching the kids). At 6 PM, my in-laws leave, and if the kids need baths, it’s bath time for Mav. He […]

Talk to me, Goose (Mav’s Top Gun Party)

With a name like Maverick, you pretty much have to have a Top Gun first birthday party! So we planned one for our sweet little man. Once we started, we realized there isn’t a whole lot out there in the way of Top Gun parties. Or maybe I am just a bit too average and […]

Breastfeeding and Pumping: The Good, the Bad, and the Saggy

If there’s one aspect of motherhood that I was “above average” in, it’s breastfeeding. In honor of today being my first day in forever wearing a regular bra (GOODBYE NURSING BRAS!!), I thought I’d take some time to reflect on the journey and share whatever tips I can think of that could help a fellow […]

Father’s Day 2018

This Father’s Day was one for the books. And not in a good way. We will hopefully be doing a re-do this weekend. We started off the day in chaos mode, trying to get to church early for Maverick’s dedication. After Mav’s dedication, we headed back to the house. We had a full house since […]

How to Stay Motivated When You Want to Give Up

For the last few weeks, I’ve been running. And it’s been hard. I’m only up to 3-point-something miles per run, and I’ll let you in on a little secret: by 2.5 miles, I’m ready to give up. My head tells me that it’d be sooo much easier if I just walked for a couple minutes. […]

Challenge Accepted: Run the Crim

Well, last week my mom called and asked if I wanted her to fly me up to Michigan to run the Crim. The Crim is a 10 mile race in Flint. They have other events too– the last time I ran an event at the Crim it was the 8K and I was newly pregnant […]

Good Morning!

A few months ago, my mother in law introduced Harlyn to a new song called “Good Morning” by Mandisa. They would sing and dance to it in the kitchen after we left for work in the morning. Harlyn loved it so much that she started asking us to do it with her in the mornings. […]

Mav @ 11 Months

Another month has flown by! Our boy is just getting so big. He’s now saying Mama, Dada, and Vroom…and a few times it’s seemed like he’s said More and Mine, but I’m not exactly sure. Mav is still wearing 12 month clothes, but he won’t last the summer in them. We’ll have to buy more […]
