splash pads and agua fresca

Labor Day falls at such a bizarre time of year. While many choose to believe that it signals the end of summer, the days continue to be brutally hot, the fruit flies fully rampant, and the peaches, tomatoes, zucchini, and corn still in their prime ripening stages. And yet, I’ve already seen fall decor donning… Read More splash pads and agua fresca

picky eaters and kale chips

We’re not quite sure how or when it happened, but we have officially entered the picky eater phase of parental life. And it suuuuuuucks.

ONE and carrot cupcakes

Jason and I were recently asked to give the reflection at our church’s annual Marian Lessons and Carols service. Our task: talk about what we expected pre-baby versus what we got one year later.

revolving doors and stuffed dates

You might as well put a revolving door on our house, because we have been visitor CENTRAL this Spring. It’s taken us some time to recover and reflect on our social season, but despite our exhaustion, our overall sentiment is: please come back. We can’t even begin to explain how much it meant to have… Read More revolving doors and stuffed dates
