This past Sunday, Brandon and I completed our 2nd half marathon. And quite honestly, it didn’t go as either of us expected, but in different ways. Now that we’ve run 13.1 miles twice, I think I have a solid understanding of what it feels like to train for, and complete, a half marathon. So what […]
Another Halloween has come and gone! Now that it’s NOVEMBER, the time will just fly right on by and before we know it, it’ll be January 1. Or at least that’s how it always seems to me. It’s Halloween, and then 3 seconds later, it’s January. Anyway…this year for Halloween we had a beautiful mermaid […]
This past Saturday, we headed out to the pumpkin patch. I mean…I think it’s a Mom Blogger Law that you must go to the pumpkin patch every fall right!?! Anyway, my mom and stepdad treated us to the morning o’ fun. I thought it was going to be cold, so I wore long sleeves and […]
Fall is upon us, so I figured it was time for Fall Faves on the blog!! Here in North Carolina, it’s been pretty warm still, but we’ve had a few cooler days sneak in, and they’ve been glorious! Psst! This post contains affiliate links. This means that, at no cost to you, I will earn […]
I don’t know about you, but I had a fantastic Labor Day weekend!! First of all, Brandon and I took last Thursday and Friday off, creating a FIVE DAY WEEKEND. What!?!? So, my sister Liv and her boyfriend Jason (or as Harlyn calls him, Jase) came down last Thursday from Michigan. They decided to rent […]
Life changes are never easy for anyone…but kids especially can have a hard time adjusting to new situations. While I’m certainly no expert, I do feel like we’ve had a pretty big few months of changes around here, and we’ve learned a lot along the way. We still have so much we can improve on […]
Well, we did it. Our firstborn child is now officially in KINDERGARTEN. And somehow, we survived the first week. Let me back up for a moment so you can understand my apprehension. It’s not that I was an emotional wreck about my kid going off to school (I wasn’t). It’s that our summer has been […]
Making the most of your family vacation can seem, well, almost impossible at times. We just got back from a week at Carolina Beach, and while it was a lot of fun, it was also a lot of work! Listen, I love a good couples’ vacation, and it definitely feels way more like R&R when […]
In honor of us being on vacation at the beach this week, I thought I’d post a free beach trip packing list for beach trips with kids!! This is our 5th beach trip with one or two kids, and by this point, we’ve gotten our packing pretty much down. The first two years,, we went […]
We’re just under three weeks away from our family beach trip, which makes it the perfect time to blog about kids’ beach essentials! We’ve now done so many beach trips with kids that planning and packing for it almost comes second nature to me. At first, we always had family along to assist and enjoy, […]
