hey there

Hello again. I thought I’d dust off the old blog and try to start posting a bit more often 🙂 I often reflect on the title of this blog, yet I am constantly stunned at how fast these kids of mine are growing up. We […]

birthday weekend

birthday weekend

It was a lovely weekend. Just a few things to share about it. My hubby and I share the same birthday. Weird, I know. But not as uncommon as you would think. People often say, “Really? What are the odds?” And I like to say, […]
