Date Night Jar
I’m sure you’ve seen the date night jars all over Pinterest, just like I have, but I could never find one with date ideas that would really work for us. I finally took the plunge and made one for us, in another attempt to get weekly, not just monthly, date nights to be a thing. […]
Our Favorite Baby Items
With adopting A there wasn’t much we had control of, when or if we’d be chosen, but the one way I could prepare and love this baby that wasn’t here, or ours, was to prepare for her to come. And boy, did I prepare, and then over prepare, and then I still prepared some more. […]
Happy Father’s Day K!

Bedtime Stories
Bedtime stories are honestly one of my favorite parts of the day with A. K is usually at work when I put A to bed, so it’s just her and me. If I can get her to stay out of her milk coma long enough for stories we read 2-3 while snuggled up in bed. […]
Happy Easter!
This year was our first Easter as parents! Well, also the first Easter we’ve ever celebrated since being married, so it was double exciting! Yes, we know A is too young to care or understand, but we, or if we’re being honest, I, couldn’t help myself and went a little overboard anyway… Gifts is one […]
