If there is anything you should know, I LOVE tacos. I could eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every. single. day. You mix that with some elotes or street corn? I'm sold. The combination of my two favorite foods...cue the mouth watering. Okay, enough of me trying to sell you on making these. Just… Continue reading Recipe: Street Corn Chicken Tacos
Sometimes people walk in to you life just when you need it most. That was certainly the case with you, Mason Allan. When I met your daddy, I knew that part of falling in love with him was making up a whole lot more room in my heart for you and your sister. That was… Continue reading Happy birthday, our sweet boy.
And just like that summer is over and we're back with another year of school! Our girls started 9th (high school...ahhh!), fifth, and third grade this year. And our sweet boy started pre-school.

Over 20 hours in the car with two young kids? Were we crazy? Probably. But worth every minute? ABSOLUTELY!

We knew it was going to be quite… Continue reading Travel With Us | Virginia Beach, VA

I’m still trying to figure out everything I want to be and I’ve got a whole lifetime to find… Continue reading So, let me reintroduce myself.
A fourth of the year has about gone by and we've been nothing short of busy. Between birthday celebrations, mini-vacations, and every day life April has snuck up on us. I wanted to share a bit of our year thus far with all of you; enjoy! Valentine's Day John and I drove up to Chicago… Continue reading 1/4th of our year in photos.
Well here we are. You are officially a pre-teen. Two whole hands old. An entire decade of life is behind you. I’ll be honest, Mahkena. You turning ten is so hard for me. While you want to be double digits and get more into your big girl status, my heart sinks just a bit. Ten years… Continue reading A letter to my daughter on her 10th birthday.
2022 came in full speed and just like that, January is already over. Still coming down from all the hype of the holidays, we didn't have much plans for this month. Truthfully; it was nice. We got to relax a bit at home and just unwind from all the chaos of Christmas. One month down… Continue reading 45 seconds of January.
Leaving 2020, we hoped that covid would stay with it and 2021 would bring everyone a fresh start, mostly pandemic free. Unfortunately, that was not the case and it affected this year just as much as the last. But one thing is for certain, we tried our best to not let it hold us back… Continue reading 2021; Our Year #LeParteyof6 Style
