A Day At a Time
This whole adulting thing is so much harder and more overwhelming than I ever imagined, but it’s also so much better. I get down on myself a lot: I’m not thin enough, I’m not a good enough wife to K, I don’t spend enough time with our dogs, I’m not patient enough, we’re too busy, […]
Our Kind of Wonderful – Behind the Scenes
From a purely social media standpoint, it looks like our life is awesome, and we have it all together. Social media can be so deceiving, and you only see what I want you to see. Let’s be real here, my house is NEVER that clean, except on days when Chloe comes by to take our […]
Thankful
I’m not going to lie, I usually roll my eyes and quickly scroll past the thankfulness posts I see in November/December, and I’ve never done one before. But, this year, with everything we’ve been through and how we’ve been able to make things work I’m a lot more conscience about how much we do […]

New Beginnings
We’ve had a lot of new beginnings lately, some that we knew from the beginning were amazing, as well as some that have tested us more than we’ve been tested before, and that turned out to be amazing, but were terrifying. Two weeks ago Kelton was laid off from his job. Terrifying. We just bought […]
Birthday
For my birthday I really just wanted to take photos of my puppies, so I did….. They, unwillingly at first, donned birthday hats and sat on a bench for us. They warmed up quickly, as they got treats galore for sitting there. In fact, when we were done Sharky kept trying to jump back on […]
