Cate asked to take a dance class, so we signed her up for tap/ballet. 5 year olds doing dance is the cutest thing! At the end of class, the parents and siblings get to come in and see what the kids have worked on during the class. Cate was definitely embarrassed at first, but I […]

Conference Tickets
I have had the tickets for this conference for SIX WHOLE MONTHS and it is finally almost here! In less than a week, I will be traveling across the country *by myself* to hear some of my favorite authors, podcasters, and bloggers speak. I can hardly contain my excitement! EEK! To help explain my excitement […]
Mom, Can We Play Outside?
“Mom, can we play outside?” I can’t help but sigh inwardly at the question. Denver received the first snow of the season last night so playing outside now means bundling up with socks, boots, snow pants, coats, hats, gloves. It sounds like a hassle, an extra chore. And as much as they try to do […]

Kindergarten Dress
I wore this dress in Kindergarten, so it is so special to see my daughter now wearing it.
Caramel Apples
One of our favorite fall snacks: Honeycrisp apples with melted caramel. Yum!
Cate’s Bike
Another milestone was reached tonight – Cate rode her bike without training wheels! She wants to do EVERYthing that her big sisters do, so it is really no surprise that she worked so hard to learn to ride since Bree also had learned how earlier this summer. Bree encouragingly called out, “Cate, you’re so awesome! […]
Halloween 2018
Happy Halloween from a llama/rabbit, elephant, and a zany zebra. And a tall unicorn. I love that they made their own costumes this year.
