Hi.

Welcome to my blog where I share the gems I've learned along the way. Sharing is caring, my friends... and I didn't go through all these struggles for nothin', y'all!  I hope to offer you hope, encouragement, and a laugh or two along the way!

I want a Mini-Van!?

I want a Mini-Van!?

I said words I thought I would never say - I WANT A MINIVAN. 
Shortly after welcoming our newest son, some of our best friends the Migalla family, invited us to take a much needed vacation with them.  With 4 week old Knox and 19 month old Grey, we rented a minvan and headed down to Indian Shores, FL for an awesome week. I discovered that I desperately wanted one.  If I could go back and tell my 17 year old self, that SWORE I would never drive one, all the amazing conveniences that a minivan offers a mother of two small children, I would surely convince myself otherwise!  I'm so thankful for the type of friends that you can share these kinds of moments with, as a family... no need to leave the kids behind... just embrace breaks from the waves for toddler naps and nursing on the beach, etc.  We love the Migallas and are so grateful for all the ways they make our lives better!  Thanks to Heidi's amazing photography skills, we got a stellar first professional family photo on the beautiful white sandy beaches of Florida....
