I can’t believe the boy who made me a mom just turned 11! I feel so blessed to be able to have him call me mom. He is kind, responsible, resilient, and his taste for knowledge is a wonder to observe. I couldn’t have asked for a better first born. He loves taking care of …
Happy Father’s Day! This picture is not the best quality…. but it does capture their essences pretty well. Bev is being a stinker and hiding from the camera. Maverick is distracted, Harvey can’t hold still, and Max is trying to be the boss and put Harvey’s face in the right direction (for some reason Max …
After 7 12 hr shifts, Andy drove straight home. I told him to sleep before coming home because I was worried about his safety, but of course, he didn’t listen to me. Thankfully, he made it home in on piece. We celebrated his return at Izumi’s and then picked up our Tesla (which got hit …

Beverly had Quite a Week Beverly had her much anticipated FIRST haircut. We took her to our friend, Anica who is moving to the west side of Georgia later in June. She has a daughter, who is also our baby sitter, who has beautiful naturally curly hair so I knew she’d know what to do. …
I honestly can’t believe it’s already the end of the school year. Just two and a half more days left! We got to celebrate Max at honor’s day at his school. I am so very proud of Max. He started kindergarten while still struggling with his speech, which majorly affected his reading. Despite it all, …
My Mother’s Day began early this year. Andy sent me to the Smokies with my dear friend Holly. My friend, Anica, started her own retreat company called, “Soul Adventure Wellness.” This was her first one and it was a success! She hired Lindsay Durrant (another bestie) to do the food and she did not go …
I wasn’t able to blog last week, because I was out of town, so I’m going to share the joys from our normal days from the past two weeks in this short blog before I get into Mother’s Day festivities. I don’t always take pictures of the things that bring me joy. Like laughing with …
We were so excited to celebrate Harvey, but not as excited as Harvey was. My friend Krista said she’s never heard him talk as much as he has this week to talk about his birthday. Common phrases are, “It’s my dir-day!” and “I’m bigger now!” and my favorite one was when we asked him what …
Spring break was a BLAST! But also, super exhausting. I was still recovering from some chest cold that ended up taking root and needed antibiotics to irradiate, but I didn’t start on the meds till the end of spring break and pushed through (sounds like me doesn’t it?). Before I go into the what we …
