We are still home social distancing, and we are still making so.much.food. Hopefully everyone else can relate. I hope you all are staying healthy and safe!

Our Daily Schedule Plus The Toys and Activities Levi Loves At 14 Months

Being a stay at home mom since quarantine has been interesting. Getting into a different daily routine took a couple of days to get used to. Lance and I have our schedules down pat now and it's actually working out really well. Although the circumstances of why we are home is unfortunate, it has brought [...]

Levi’s First Haircut

Levi was born with a full head of hair. He's always had a lot of hair for how little he is. This was the one milestone I was kinda nervous about, but I desperately wanted to wait until after his 1st birthday. We went about a month after his first birthday. He surprised both Lance [...]

Levi’s First Birthday

Where did the time go?!?! My little man is 1! This year has been the longest yet shortest year of my life. It's been hard in so many ways, but the most wonderful, meaningful, enjoyable, rewarding year I've ever had. I'm so grateful I documented Levi's 1st year journey on my blog. Most was probably [...]

Five Month Update

Every monthI say "I can't believe Levi is X month's old". Time has flown so fast since having him in January. It makes me SO sad that next month he will already be 1/2 a year old, but at the same time he is doing something new everyday which makes life so happy and exciting. [...]

Three Month Update

This month was a tough one for Lance, Levi and me. I had tendon transfer surgery on April 3 (also my dad's birthday). When I was 8 months pregnant, after a long day of work, doctor's visit and our first baby class, Lance and I got home about 9:30 p.m. I was heading to bed and [...]

A couple of weekends ago my friend, Carolyn, and I hosted a Spring Seed Exchange. After a long winter, we were craving familiar faces, new friends, and fresh air. I was skimming through the Magnolia magazine and came across an article on how to host a Community Seed Swap. I loved the article and thought [...]
