I always knew I wanted to have a studio space of my own! Some days it seemed like it was a dream that would never happen. For over 10 years I’ve worked out of my home, making some room or another my “studio”. When Kenny and I were looking to buy our first home there […]

These last few days have gotten away from me. I’m currently sitting in my car, laptop on my lap outside of Beckett’s wrestling practice typing this blog. I’ve found an immense amount of respect for parents who juggle everything when it comes to medical care for their kiddos. Arden’s needs are so few in comparison […]

Yesterday was the 16th anniversary of my mom’s passing. April 11th, 2004 was Easter Sunday. I left the hospital went home and somehow made it to church that morning. Church wasn’t something I regularly attended, but I was invited and I remember feeling I NEEDED to go. I remember feeling that by going it would […]

I’m so terrible at editing and sharing photos of my kids or things happening in our lives. It’s a personal goal to do more of that in 2020. I took Arden to get her first hair cut back in November and have yet to share anything from it. It was something that I was both […]

My sweet boy is officially at his second day of Kindergarten. It shouldn’t feel different because he’s been in preschool already but it does. It feels so different. It could be because I’ve seen so many changes. I don’t see a baby anymore. He doesn’t act like a baby anymore. So I’ve spent all the […]

Start. Stop. Erase. Start. Stop. Erase. (many more times!) Thats pretty much how this blog has started off. Today makes 15 years since I lost my mom. I have officially lived my life as long without her as I did with her. This “anniversary” is something I dreaded. This number gave me such anxiety for […]

Yesterday was my third wedding anniversary! I love going back through our wedding photos and re-watching our wedding videos! They bring me so much joy! I can tell you that planning my wedding wasn’t the most exciting thing, which it usually is- and it should have been. But grief and heartache stole my joy. It […]

It has been a while! Wheww! Life has simply gotten away from me, Arden (our new baby!) has been terribly sick with RSV, which followed Beckett being sick! I’ve been pouring my energy into getting our kiddos back to being healthy. And when I say pouring, literally all my energy. I’m pretty much a walking […]

Yesterday was my sweet husband’s birthday!! We celebrated with a small birthday party with parents and grandparents. What they didn’t realize is that his birthday party was also a gender reveal!!  We thought it would be fun to tell everyone that we chose to NOT find out what baby #2 was. (But we did! There […]

If you read my last personal blog on how my husband bought a house without me seeing it in person, than hopefully you remember me telling you about that extra bedroom right beside Beckett’s new room!  It’s still sitting empty and thats ok. It will be filled with things soon enough. Life has been, well, […]
