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. She likes Bocce Ball (and to beat her parents at it;) She still loves reading and lego. Loves Hot Air Balloons. She’s a big fan of … Read More
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.

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

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
