Hey there!


Oh man, it's been forever since I've visited this space. I've been aching to jump back in to blogging and documenting our days in more detail than just an Instagram post would allow; So, here we are.

I'm not sure how long this will last and how frequently I'll be posting, but I just needed something; some creative outlet to allow this mama something that belongs to her and give me a bit of purpose outside of butt-wiper and milk-maid. :P

A pretty accurate depiction of what life with 3 kids looks like these days: Pandemonium. 

So very much has happened since the last time I visited this space. Everett turned 2, Peyton turned 8 and Finnick has grown like a little weed. He turned 9 months old last Wednesday and I can hardly believe that he's officially been outside of my belly longer than he was in it. UGH, bring back my tiny newborn squish! Though, I do adore the age he is at now. All of them are at a pretty great age, really. It's bittersweet, but so fun to watch them grow and learn!

We lost our dear little Grammy in May and the world just seems so dull without her. I'm forever grateful that our babies had the chance to know her and to love her as much as I did. Sometimes, I swear that she is still hanging around to comfort all of us as we navigate through life without her laughter and love.

Nick accepted a new job and had to go to Oklahoma for training for 2.5 months. I mean, 2.5 months of solo parenting to 3 littles?? Gosh, I don't even know how I survived, but survive I did! Thank goodness my mama, my aunt and my cousin were all kind enough to help me just about every week so that the house wasn't in shambles when Nick returned last week! Ha.

We have a big vacation planned for next month with the kids and my parents and sister and I am so stinking excited. We haven't take a family vacation since 2013 and that means that Rhett and Finn have both never seen the beach. Rhett is OBSESSED with the kiddie pool that we have in the backyard (literally never stops asking to go play in the "Ish" as he calls it) so I'm anxious to see if he is just as obsessed with running in the waves or if he's terrified of them, haha.

All in all, I'm just so excited to be back here! Can't wait to share more!
