Adoption is Hard
Adoption is the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and I’ve been through a lot in my life. When I tell people that, they just smile. When I searched for information on what to prepare for as we tried to adopt I never could find much information from the adoptive parents perspective on how difficult it is. […]
Scrabble Date Night
I feel like I have an unfair advantage when it comes to Scrabble date nights, as even though he’s an english major, K can’t really spell…. but he beats me at pretty much any game we play, so I’ll take it! I’ve never been a big Scrabble player, but then again, before marrying K I […]
Castle Panic Date Night
Castle panic is a game we’ve had for years and have yet to get sick of. We have quite a few expansions for it, so we’re able to change it up and it feels like a new game. In Castle Panic you work together to defend your castle from monsters. The monsters move closer to […]

British Date Box
This British date box was so much fun, and seriously packed with things to do! We got to play Naked Pictionary, which included cards of words, a pad of paper, and invisible ink pens so we had to draw without being able to see what we were drawing, then we shown a light to see […]
Happy Halloween
Halloween! You guys, it’s so much different with a 1 year old! A was a pineapple for Halloween, and she was the cutest pineapple ever. We bought her costume back in August, and I didn’t have her try it on until October. When I did I couldn’t stop laughing at how cute and plump she […]
