For the first weekend in what’s felt like a long while, we didn’t have much of any plans or major projects on our docket. We cozied up extra long in bed in the mornings and enjoyed the quiet. Took a long walk around our neighborhood day dreaming about what flowers we’d like to plant this […]
We got a delicious little taste of spring last week. Windows were opened and many walks were taken. But in true midwest fashion, it’s slated to cool off again. We’ll take what we can get and be grateful at least we aren’t shoveling any snow these days. With warm weather on the horizon, we’ve been […]
Eagerly, I set out my wooden clogs and tucked away my big snow boots. Hung linen shirts and folded up cozy knit sweaters. Our closets have officially turned over from fall and winter to spring and summer. There is something so truly refreshing about that twice a year ritual. You’re left with reflections of the […]
I used to live by schedules and locked in routines, something that worked really well for me as a teacher with a more typical work life. But now as a stay at home mom to an infant, I’ve learned that tight schedules just don’t align with where we are at in life. Instead, we’ve fallen […]
I’ve found myself picking up my phone a little less, and grabbing the big camera a little more. I’m finding more depth with my love and learning of photography and can’t wait to continue to share some galleries here.

If you told me last year that this holiday season we’d be taking Christmas card pictures with our new baby girl, I would not have believed it for a minute. From the moment we found out we were expecting, we’ve been in an effortless cloud of happiness. Despite the pain and hardship this year has […]
Our favorite time of year is here. From Thanksgiving to New Years, we love all the celebrating and the time spent with the people we love. Thanksgiving looked a little different this year, but we are just so grateful for the health and happiness of our loved ones. We’re especially grateful this year for our […]
Working on this little room during my pregnancy brought so much joy. We didn’t know exactly who would be moving in, but we knew they’d be loved big time and have the sweetest spot in the house. Space is limited in here so we snagged the essentials for our little bug, and it turned out […]
