Happy Cyber Week!  I'm coming to you live from the Struggle Bus, so I won't be providing you with any gift guides, nor will I be listing my favorite online deals for Cyber Week.  I guess I'm just a bad blogger. I do, however, have an article about having a clutter free heart and home before Christmas.  I've already started decluttering our lives...

- So is it me, or has Target really upped their fashion game recently?  I usually don't find anything I like at Target besides basic tees and leggings, but wow.  I found so much stuff I loved last time I was there (which is like twice a week).  I had some birthday money so I bought this sweater and these shoes.  I literally...

Amber came by the house when Natalie was 5 days old and shot these photos of Natalie and the rest of the family.  I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out. You can see the pure joy on Katherine's face...

I'm so excited for Natalie's first Halloween!  I don't know who's more excited, me or Katherine.  That...

After a looooooong break, I'm back.  I'm also excited to announce that our Natalie Lauren was born on August 3, 2017, weighing 7 pounds, 2 ounces, and measuring 18 3/4 inches long.  Her big sister Katherine is absolutely in love with her, constantly showering her with love, hugs, and kisses.  Our family is finally complete and we couldn't be happier. The past two...

We had a surprisingly busy summer, despite my best efforts to make it "not busy," but I guess when  you're trying to pack in as much fun as possible before a new baby arrives, it tends to get busy. It was a little sad that this was Katherine's last summer as an only child, but she's soooo excited about being a big sister...
