ELLIE IS 14!

Ellie turns 14 today! It’s wild, and bittersweet at the same time. She’s the kind of friend you want on your side, and will be a friend to just about anyone who needs one.

FRIDAY FAVORITES.

Happy Friday! I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites. Up first, Ellie getting all dressed up for her 8th grade grad dance was a favorite.

Happy Friday! Whew….this week has been a mess. Nothing awful just many pivots in our usual routines because of the ice storm. We thrive on a routine around here (shocker huh;) so, we’ve been in chaos mode. As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites. Up first, this girl would tell you she’s waited her whole life … Read More

CHRISTMAS BREAK 2022 AND ICE.

Happy Friday! We are full on back in the swing of routines around here and a bit sad about it. We love Christmas break so much and this one was no different. If you don’t know, Brandon works for SIU and goes to school there (he’s graduating in May) as well, so the downtime in between semesters is the best … Read More
