Art cart

I'm about two years behind on this one. I did a terrible job of documenting this adorable little Easter gift for the girls.. from two years ago. I had almost more fun putting it together than they have playing with all the things it contains. And the best part is, you can put whatever on it. And when you restock, you can add new and different things! The girls are constantly moving everything around!

Stairs

Are you ready for a fun one?! Cause this project was fun and actually pretty quick and the upgrade is out of this world! I've been wanting to do this since we moved in. The movers really beat up our stairs and they are just kind of steep and slick. I could never decide what I wanted. Had decided to hire it out because I was a little overwhelmed and then one day I saw this runner and thought, this is it. Brian gave me a huge confident boost and two seconds later I'm borrowing an air compressor and staple gun and BAM... she's done!

Emily’s 6th Birthday Party!

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

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

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

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

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!

Spicy Turkey Stir-Fry With Crisp Garlic and Ginger

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

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.
