This past weekend, we had Maverick’s Baby Shark birthday party! It was simple and laid back, in true #averagemom fashion 🙂 If you’ve been here awhile, you know that I’m a fan of small and easy birthdays for young kids. Maverick’s party was us and his six grandparents (Aunt Livvie and Jason couldn’t make it, […]
We’re a few days from Father’s Day, so it only seemed right to acknowledge all the exceptional dads today–especially my husband, my partner in crime, and the daddy of my two beautiful babies, Brandon. To the amazing daddies: On this Father’s Day, I just want you to know you’re loved and appreciated. You’re so much […]
Dear Maverick, Today, you turn two. I honestly don’t know how we got here…how my tiny little boy became a big toddler in what seemed like the blink of an eye. You’re everything a mommy could want in her son. Buddy, when you smile, you GRIN. It’s this all teeth, amazing smile that takes over […]

Today’s blog post is all about great books to get the men in your life. Since Brandon has been on a mission to read 100 books this year, I asked him to write a Father’s Day blog post, rounding up 10 of his favorites so far. If you’ve got a man in your life who […]

We have truly LOVED the past two years–Harlyn’s school is everything you’d want for a Christian preschool, and more–and our only regret is that Maverick will not be attending due to some changes coming up […]
On Saturday, we had a mermaid birthday party! For Harlyn’s 5th birthday, she decided she wanted to do the whole mermaid thing, and thankfully, Target knew what was up. Because Target had the mermaid theme already done in the party aisle, we just bought it and voila! The party was planned. 😉 Now, if you […]
Dear Harlyn, Happy 5th birthday! I can’t even believe it. Time has absolutely flown by. Just 5 years ago, I was holding you in my arms for the very first time, falling in love with you more by the second. You were literally the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, and I couldn’t believe […]
With Easter quickly approaching, I thought it was time for an Easter basket idea post! I love doing Easter baskets for our kids, because it’s a fun excuse to get them a few little treats. And yes, in our house the “Easter Bunny” comes! We always do a bit of candy (once old enough) to […]
Since we just got back from San Diego, I thought it would be fun to do a post about what to do and where to stay in San Diego! This was our third year in a row going to San Diego, so we have definitely started getting our bearings and have done quite a bit […]
