One of the best parts about having a blog is being able to easily look back over the years and remember. Remember the adventures we took, remember the different phases of life, (both great and hard) and remember the moments I wish to never forget. This past weekend is one I would like to never […]

I mentioned a few weeks ago that Baby Franklin is sleeping through the night and have since received several questions about how we did it. I found myself copying and pasting a lot of what I said to various people and thus decided to just write it all out. I do want to first […]
Our sweet baby Franklin has turned six whole months! Which means we had the pleasure of working with Heidi of Glimpse Photography in capturing his milestone photos, and once again, they did not disappoint. I know it. I am just as amazed. Didn’t we just take his three month photos? And now we have lived […]
On Monday our sweet Gwyn turned six. Six years ago, I gave birth to this girl, my first baby, on Mother’s Day. And she was the best gift imaginable. She continues to be such a gift to our family and there is definitely a reason she was our first born. Gwyn had been looking forward […]
About two years ago we discovered my favorite brunch spot. And I just have two words for you. Maple. Bacon. The buffet at the Coeur ‘d Alene resort is my absolute favorite and mostly in part due to the to-die-for maple bacon. So for Mother’s Day this year, that is where we went for brunch, […]
With Franklin being nearly six months old now, I hear all too often how I need to “cherish every minute, it goes by fast!” And while that may be true in many instances, it just makes me think back to when our first-born was a baby and how the days were looooooong and hard. And […]

Sweet Baby Franklin has turned five months. And what a joy he is! I thought the obsession over this baby in our family would slow down by about now since he isn’t AS new anymore, but that hasn’t been the case. He is still smothered in love every. single. day. Especially by a certain almost […]
Our sweet, sensitive, intelligent, inquisitive, cuddly, rough-and-tumble boy turned four today. And wow, my mama heart is just in disbelief. It has been pretty cold here lately, but on this little man’s special day it was nice and sunny making it a great day for our birthday boy. We spent the morning at our church, […]
Our little Franklin baby has turned four months, and I must say that I am just enjoying him more and more as he continues to show more expressions, smiles and giggles. About three weeks ago he belted out the most wonderful laugh. It wasn’t just a little giggle, either. It was a full-blown laugh that […]
