“In the morning, when the moon is at its rest
You'll find me at the time I love the best
Watching rainbows play on sunlight
Pools of water iced from cold night
In the morning, it's the morning of my life…
This summer, we planned to vacation at the mountain house that we usually stay at in Boone, NC. There was some last minute conflicts that caused us to adjust our plans slightly. I did a quick look on AirBNB and found a cute cabin in Blue Ridge, Georgia. We've never been to Blue Ridge, Georgia before, but we were pleasantly surprised by how great the location was…

Last year was challenging for our family. It was full of adjustment to new things we’ve never experienced. We worked hard, pulled lots of all-nighters, and gave everything we had to sustain our family through our own business. By the time fall arrived, we were worn out, tired, and in need of time together with no deadlines and no pressure…

Most people enjoy Halloween because it provides an opportunity for everyone to dress up and act silly together. If that is true, then my boys must think that every day is Halloween…

For the last few years, Calvin’s work had taken him to Southern California. In 2019, we were able to take a day to visit Disneyland with both of our boys. We’ve been feeling a little nostalgic and ready to visit again. In the meantime, we’ve gone through some of our photos and videos and put them together to remember the magic. I hope you enjoy some of the magic with us…

We love getting outside as a family. It never fails - surrounded by all the green, the fresh air, just stepping away - it does wonders. This is especially true with us spending a lot of time around the house these past few… months. Lately, our outdoor time has mostly been walking around the block and playtime in the back yard. Last week we set aside a full day to get out of the house and go on a little hike together…

Let’s do this weekend over and over. Camping under the stars. Slowly listening to Calvin read stories to us by the campfire while sipping on hot coco. Cuddling as close together as we can through the night…

I’m so thankful for how much I’ve changed over the years. These past few months have caused me to re-evaluate how I focus my time, once again. The things I value. What I treasure. What I prioritize. What’s most important.

I will always remember Emet’s 2nd Birthday. We were still in the middle of transitioning back to Louisville and in temporary housing - which made things a bit more challenging than a normal year. We were set on making his day special and making the most of our situation…

One of my long-time favorite bands was touring this fall, so I planned a quick girls trip (plus Abner) to Chicago to see them in concert. It was my first time visiting Chicago, so we went up the evening before, to have the next day completely in the city and do some exploring before the concert…

Every once in a while, you get to visit a place where it feels like you're transported to a completely different time and space. Palm Springs, CA is that place for me…

We made our way through the winding roads of the park, stopping as much as possible to record the beauty. Each cactus was so unique telling its own story. As I looked around at the open landscape of the desert, I could literally see for miles. The rays of the setting sun turned the desert colors into a visual symphony...

We were just in California and ended up spending half a day adventuring around Vasquez Rocks. It was a magical day! I love it when we're able to get outside on a day like this, in the fresh spring air and exploring new things...

There was a certain magic in the air as we walked down the shore of Laguna Beach. It was a unique balance of busyness and calm. There were so many beautiful homes, each with their own story to tell...

After spending the day in Abbott Kinney, we decided to explore Venice Beach together and get our toes in the sand. We loved Venice Beach and I'm glad we stopped. The beach is my happy place and getting to explore a new one with my family made it an afternoon I never want to forget...

Calvin, Emet, and I took a quick trip to southern California at the end of September. Calvin was there for work, but we were able to sneak away and see a few sights during some of his downtime. In this blog post I want to share the afternoon we headed over to the Abbott Kinney district...
