April 2021 Update
We celebrated Easter with Mike’s family. I’m a little sad at how fast it suddenly seems to be going by. The cousins are growing up so quickly. We did our annual egg baseball tradition but Skylar also brought along her…
March 2021 Update
Ah, spring! The daffodils are in bloom, the time changes (DST forever!!!), and we hatch chickies. I love it! This was our first time to ever hatch chicks. A friend gave me an incubator last year and we were able…
February 2021 Update
Oh I do love February but mainly because it’s love note season. I honestly think this is one of the best things you can do for your kiddos. Even my 14 year old still looks forward to it. Other than…
January 2021 Update
Happy New Year! Skylar welcomed 2021 by running out to the front porch at midnight, waving a Canadian flag, and yelling JUMANJI at the top of her lungs, so there’s that. I kicked off the New Year with a little…

September 2020 Family Update
We are definitely back into the swing of things with school despite being in shock that I have an 8th grader. Over Labor Day weekend we had a dental emergency and were told that Skylar needed a $3K root canal…
August 2020 Family Update
There were quite a few things that happened in August for our family. For starters, we were supposed to be in South America but travel plans are all kinds of wonky in 2020. Maine was plan B but we ended…
July 2020 Update
Per our tradition, we spent the 4th of July in Birmingham with my family. It was nice to see everyone even if it was for just a quick down-and-back visit. Skylar is back on the ice and skating again. She’s…
