From Instagram: My people. <3 We spent this week in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. While it wasn't exactly a perfect vacation - poor Sean got hit again with the stomach bug that just won't quit and the baby ended up with croup - I loved being here at this time of year. It was just…
From Instagram: Thank you to all of our veterans. We appreciate your service! What a week for America, huh? Like most of the country world, we watched the election results roll in on Tuesday with a mixture of shock and disbelief. Even my husband, who is generally not transfixed by all things political, stayed up until…
The first memoir I read was Lucky Man: A Memoir by Michael J. Fox, and I still remember thinking how much I enjoyed reading a book that felt like a story being told by a friend. It was easy to read, relatable, and appealed to my nosy side. Earlier this year, I read this article about how…
From Instagram:What time is it?! Show time! {If only the lights weren't dead...} #christmas2016 #familytraditions #hamilton This will be our 15th year putting up our Christmas tree on {or very close to} Halloween! The first year we were married, we excitedly prepared to hand out candy to trick or treaters in our condo neighborhood...and none…
From Instagram: This guy had what we think was a febrile seizure and so our pediatrician's office sent us to the ER. He is NOT happy about all the poking and prodding, but we're praying for solid answers! On Tuesday morning, Lucas woke up in the wee hours of the morning with a mild fever.…
From Instagram: Spotting the waterfalls. I love fall! The fresh, crisp air. The apples. The pumpkins. The leaves changing. All of it! This week we took a morning off school to head to one of our very favorite fall destinations: Blackwater Falls in Davis, West Virginia. Sean and I stumbled across it on our honeymoon, and when we…
From Instagram:It's bundle week, so if you need me, chances are good you'll find me right here. Coffee necessary, extra pens optional. It's what we call "bundle week" round these parts. In my role as Director of Strategic Relationships for Ultimate Bundles, I oversee a team of people who work with authors, affiliates and bonus…
This year will go down in my personal history as the year I didn't meet any of my goals, and I think my reading goal (which I audaciously raised to 100 books this year—hahahaha!) has suffered the most. Although I love to read before bed, I end up falling asleep after a few pages, and with…
From Instagram: Oh my heart. I feel like we spend more time in the ER or with specialists than the average family, and I haven't figured out if it's because we're a larger-than-average family or just because we're accident prone! On Sunday night Jackson hurt his foot while playing on the trampoline with his sisters (the story is…
From Instagram: This cracks me up. He's sick and won't let me lay him down, but he also won't cuddle, sleep on my chest or let me lay down *with* him. He wants to lay on top of me *just so*. Whew...summer colds are no joke, y'all! We had a virus a few weeks ago…
