Made the cutest little yarn ghosts and garland to Made the cutest little yarn ghosts and garland to hang in Avery’s room this year for Halloween. Not only were they super easy to make but inexpensive as well! 
She’s at the age where she is getting really excited for Halloween this year and will not stop roaring at me in preparation for her dinosaur costume. 
Anyone else’s kids already talking about their Halloween plans?!

I still can’t believe that a little over a year I still can’t believe that a little over a year ago I decided, in an effort to save money on our small wedding, to make my own wedding bouquet. 
Not only did I make my own, but I made a matching smaller version for Avery. 
I have zero experience in making bouquets or keeping plants alive in general but I was determined and was extremely happy with how it came out. 
So here’s some motivation that if your set on doing something; go for it! It may just turn out better then you could have ever imagined. 
Swipe for some cuteness of me and Avery with our flowers!

Another positive, another miscarriage. It’s tak Another positive, another miscarriage.
It’s taken me a little bit to write this post because while I want to keep things fun and light here, the reality is my heart is hurting right now. I never thought that I would be in this situation where I would have to say goodbye to another pregnancy before I was ready. I know I am so lucky to have two healthy children to which I am thankful for but I can’t help but feel like my dream of another child is slowly fading. 
Less than 5% of women have consecutive miscarriages and I guess that I am just one of the few to experience this but miscarriage is not uncommon and many women experience this in silence. The truth is pregnancy loss is so incredibly lonely and devastating no matter when it happens and I wish women didn’t feel so isolated while going through it. So for all those experiencing or have experienced a pregnancy loss, I’m here for you and you are not alone. ❤️

Last night Avery called out to me and cried. She w Last night Avery called out to me and cried. She wanted me to lay with her at bedtime. It was a long day, she was overtired and needed a little help falling asleep. So I laid with her. I crawled in next to her in her twin size bed and held her until she fell asleep even though there were a million things I needed to get done. But I don’t regret one single second of it.
This time truly does go by so fast that when my 3 year old daughter wants me to snuggle with her, I’m going to take the time to snuggle with her. If my 10 year old asked me to do the same, I would in a heartbeat. One of these days, these kids will grow up, leave to go live their own lives and I will never have these small moments back. So savoring every little bit that I can now while it’s given to me even if I there is a million other things that needs to get done. 
Swipe through to see the many faces of Avery!

Happy double digits to this kid right here. How he Happy double digits to this kid right here. How he is already 10 is beyond me. 
There are so many things I can say about him including how smart he is, funny, kind, adventurous, silly and patient among so many other traits that make him exactly who he is. 
These first 10 years have been a whirlwind and I’m excited to see what the next 10 bring. 
So Happy Birthday Hayden! Thankful to be your mom ❤️

It’s been a rough couple weeks. I’m feeling ex It’s been a rough couple weeks. I’m feeling extremely overwhelmed with work, things in my personal life and the heaviness of the world right now. I find myself struggling more and more with anxiety and increasingly feeling alone. It’s been hard and I know now more than ever, people are feeling the same way I am. 
So when my husband suggested heading out on the boat yesterday with the kids to enjoy one of the last few days of summer I immediately said yes. 
It was hot and exhausting but worth every minute having these small moments to make me feel just a little whole again.
