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.

This is the final week of preschool for my sweet Harlyn, but last week they had their preschool graduation/music program. 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 […]
It’s a big topic today–how to answer your kids’ tough questions. If you haven’t been hanging out with me over on IG (@thisaveragemom) or watching the Fools in Love Podcast Live show on Wednesday nights, then you don’t know about how REAL things have gotten over here since someone (cough cough Harlyn) turned FIVE.
