Emmy had the best birthday party to celebrate turning SIX! We actually had it the weekend before her birthday and she had a blast. I never saw her. She was too busy running around with all her buddies and having the very best time.
Emmy’s birthday + last day of school
01 March 2026
My sweetie turned SIX! Last year... but still have to document! Her birthday fell on the last day of school, which no one actually stays at school on the last day so I think she had the very best day. I took off, went to both girls promotion ceremonies and then we spent the day together. And I'm going to blog this one in reverse because for some reason I can't get my pictures to load in order :)
Memorial Day Weekend in Branson 2025
28 February 2026
We had a really fun Memorial Day weekend last year with the Lar family in Branson. They rented this amazing house near Silver Dollar City-- we ate fun meals and did an entire day at the park. The resort we stayed at had this amazing pool also with slides and a lazy river. The girls were in absolute heaven!
Camping on the Sylamore
27 February 2026
We went camping last summer and Brian told me the girls and I could stay at the house at Calico. Then it was let's all sleep in a tent one night and the house the next. Then somehow we spent two nights in a tent and I just don't know how or why the girls loved it so much but now I fear I have to do this every single year!!!!
Pearl Couscous Salad With Shrimp and Feta
26 February 2026
This is like summer in bowl. And I hate that Brian doesn't love cucumbers the way I do. I actually used a lot less cucumber on this recipe for that reason. I also didn't have radishes so I skipped those. Think it would be delish with more cucumbers and radish! Save this one for when you want something easy and crave a summer dish!
Easter 2025
25 February 2026
I always love Easter! And this year we stopped by my sisters house on the way home to snap a few pictures in her yard-- she has so many beautiful flowers and they were all showing out!
Spicy Turkey Stir-Fry With Crisp Garlic and Ginger
24 February 2026
OH man do I love this meal. I love this meal so much we at least have it once a month. The crispy ginger and garlic really set it over the top. And it's made me love cooking with coconut oil again, I think you can really taste it here. Try this one!!!
Girl Party: Easter Edition
23 February 2026
This makes me want spring back so bad. This picture is so sweet and I just love this precious little party that Rachel put together. I think this is the second annual little Easter party she's thrown for the girls. I looove the flower theme from this one.
Bunco: Allyson’s Favorite Things
22 February 2026
This bunco theme was so fun! Allyson started this bunco group a few years ago and then decided to move on all of us! So we chose to throw a surprise bunco party for her before they moved to Hot Springs last summer. I made these cute little invites and sent them to the group + her family without her knowing. I'm actually terrible at keeping these things secret so I'm still shocked I didn't make any missteps.
Spring Break 2025
21 February 2026
Spring Break 2025 was so much fun! The girls were out all week and I took off some of it to hang out with them and then for us to take a quick little trip. This first picture was sometime during the week when we tried out Problem Child in LR. It was delish!
