And... here's our third round of links I sent my husband. I'll be the first to admit that these links are definitely not as good as the following weeks. However, this is what I sent my husband. I need to start thinking about this during the week to up my game. But, for now I will just be real, and most likely that's...

This gloomy January day has me in a funk that I can't seem to shake. I am really starting to feel these long winter days. Jordan has been working 14 hour days this month and realizing that even though this month is coming to an end, another tough month is starting soon. I'm feeling the weight of everything going on around me and...

Something I love about our little family, is that we love to celebrate. The big things, the small things. Really, we look for any reason to make a cake, to pop a bottle of champagne, or go out to a restaurant. Jordan makes the best double layer chocolate cake. He only uses a box cake mix, and I don't think he does anything...

I have been reading She Reads Truth's Psalms of Gratitude study with friends. And even though it's almost over I keep going back to the first day. This verse really resonated with me, so I wrote it out so that I don't have to keep looking it up.  I have always written out and doodled verses and words in my journals, bible, notes, any...

Here's to the dreamiest Wednesday morning this stay at home mama could ask for. Currently, I am drinking hot coffee in my wool socks while Ruby takes a long nap. We were able to have some much needed family time to play in the snow this morning. The photos I captured turned out so well that I couldn't help but abandon my other tasks...

Travel is always a big topic in my conversations with Jordan. This month especially, as we try to figure out vacations and places we want to go. I was reading this blog post which had some great places, one that i've been to and a few already on our lists. I read A Cup of Jo's similar post (which also had a few that...

When Ruby was 3 weeks old we moved to Illinois (near St. Louis). This is her first nursery and she's already on her second! Although, she hardly used this space, maybe a diaper change here or there. This space was mainly for me.  We knew we would be moving in June and Ruby wasn't due until the middle of May. So at first we...
