Spring Break & Friendship

We recently had spring break. We had so much fun this year. We got to take the kids swimming with some friends. They went rollerskating with some friends. We got to have dinner together with my best friends and all of her kids. Which has never happened before. We always seem to have one kid […]

Friendship

I am going to be real and raw with y’all for a minute. I struggle with friendships because I always feel like I am being a burden to someone. If I test you 20 times a day I feel like I am being annoying. When I am beyond excited and can only talk about what […]

Esmirelda-Esme

We are so beyond happy with our new camper guys. It is like everything that we had hoped for when we dreamed about a camper. We have lovingly named her Esmirelda or Esme (Es-May) for short. She has a gypsy heart much like my own so needed a very suiting name. We have enough room […]

Happy Dance

One of our dreams has came true. We had been shopping for a camper as you guys know. Mainly a popup because they seemed to be more in our price range for a nicer one. Then this beautiful little baby happened to come along. We are so excited. We pulled her to my parents house […]

Band Concert

Our youngest daughter plays a trumpet in the school band. This is her first year. It has been so rewarding watching her grow in her abilities as a trumpet players. She has this wonderful natural talent to learn instruments quickly. She had a spring music concert for all the grades. It was so fun to […]

Music

Sometimes you hear a song. Those songs that just hit you right in the core. Like the lyrics themselves were written right from your very soul. How could anyone else know what you soul was feeling? This is why music draws people together. Music has this undeniable ability to say the things that not everyone […]

Stressful to say the least

I wrote to you last week telling you about Alex finding his birth family. Which was really kind of awesome. That was actually about the only bright light in out week last week. On the Sunday before he found his them, a family friend lost his battle and passed away. This was one of the […]

Mexican Breakfast Mashup

This recipe doesn’t really have any certain things it needs for ingredients. We had fajitas this week so we had leftover from them plus rice. Also, some taco meat and black beans. So i just kinda made a quick throw together. I will just tell you what I all added and how i cooked it. […]

Answered Prayers

So, we had some very interesting things happen this week. Alex had started the search for his birth parents a few weeks ago. We got a call last week that the adoption agency had received his letter and would begin working on his case. We got a call on Monday that they had found his […]

Snow Dogs

We have had our far share of snow here lately. Both boys enjoy the snow. However, Bentley is in love. When we take him out and he notices that it has snowed again he can barely contain himself and starts running circles while his tail is wagging as fast as it can go. It is […]

Heartbroken

Sometimes things just don’t work out the way that you want them too. You can plan things out to be exactly how you want them and that doesn’t always pan out to exactly how you wanted them. So, take a step back and re-evaluate the situation. Alex and I have been looking at campers and […]

Mondays!

I love Mondays! I know most people do not, however I love them. It is my most productive day of the week most of the time and for some reason I am super motivated come Monday. I not really sure why that is, but I think it has to do with the fact that Alex […]

Almost there

Hey everyone! We are a week away from hopefully getting our camper and moving full time into a campground full time. Its so close I can almost taste it. My fingers are crossed because every time we feel like we are this close something always seems to come up and things don’t go as planned. […]

Happy Spouse Happy House

I may ruffle some feathers with this one and that is perfectly okay with me. I posted on Insta the other day about happy spouse happy house and I whole heartedly agree with it. This isn’t Happy Wife Happy Life. Why should it only be a one way road? It shouldn’t. Y’all are a team, […]
