Hi friends,

Hope you are doing well! I can’t believe our sweet Charlotte Grace is one. Time flies especially when you are the fourth child. We had an intimate birthday with our family for Charlotte’s 1st birthday. I love having an intimate birthday with just family for their first birthday because they get all the attention and it isn’t as overwhelming. We did a hearts and bow theme for her birthday and it turned out so cute!

Hi friends,

It’s been awhile since my last post but we have been so busy with school and the holidays! But we were able to take our annual Christmas photos with our dear friend Yash who has been taking our pictures since Jayden was a baby. He basically is like family. Every year I look back at these photos and seen how much we have grown as a family and it brings me so much joy.

Hi friends!

Hope you are doing well! Today I wanted to share our powder bathroom reveal. We have been working on this for awhile now but we finally finished the wallpaper and trim and I love how it turned out. If you want to make your home look designer but don’t have a big budget I say do your bathrooms. It is such a small space but packs a punch, and the powder bath is one of the most used by our guest.

Hi friends,

Hope you are doing well! We celebrated our eleven year wedding anniversary and to commemorate this special day we had our first professional family farm photoshoot taking in front of our home we custom built and moved into a year ago. I remember taking these photos five years ago when we first bought our dream farm and there was nothing on it but these beautiful oak trees.

Hey friends,

Hope you are doing well! Another big milestone for our family, our girls got baptized! It’s been a long time coming, but with the home build, having back to back pregnancies, and Josh’s crazy work schedule there was never the perfect time. But we decided to go ahead without Josh since we never had a time that worked with his schedule. I’m so thankful for our family who were able to make it.

Hi friends,

Today I am sharing a recap of Ella’s third butterfly birthday. I can’t believe my sweet baby girl is three. Where did the time go? I still can remember her birth. It was the most traumatizing and difficult birth experience I’ve had. Thankfully Ella was strong and healthy and she has thrived ever since. The past year was probably the most challenging year for me as a parent.

Hi friends,

Hope you are doing well! It’s been a crazy busy couple of weeks. In fact I can’t believe we are already half way to March. Last month on February 19th at 2am our sweet Charlotte Grace made her debut. It was my first natural birth, and I can’t wait to share the full birth story with you. I am so thankful I was able to have this amazing birth experience, especially after having my past two birth experiences with Ella and Daisy.

It’s been a busy couple weeks for us with the holidays, being pregnant, and my husband being gone for weeks at a time as a Captain for his job.
