Don't worry about me over here just posting a video from May in mid-December. I'm hoping to have all of my 2022 garden videos edited and uploaded before next garden season. It's a personal goal of mine because I want to have these videos to look back on, and because I want to share my love of gardening with you all. Now is a great time to get into it if you're interested! Today's video is showing you how I started some of my seeds indoors last Spring. I hope you enjoy ..read more

Another day, another video? I guess that's the case this week! I gathered up some more footage from this past Spring to create this video on how to start tomatoes from seed. Again, I'm mostly producing these videos for my own archive to look back on, but I wanted to share in case it helps to inspire some to look into gardening, or teach someone something new. If this isn't your thing, I will encourage you to hang in there. I only have the beginning and the rest of summer to catch up on. Haha. If this IS your thing - let me know! I love to connect with other garden enthusiasts ..read more

It's almost winter and guess what I'm doing... I'm editing videos from Spring. Haha. I recorded SO much garden content from Spring to Fall this year. The garden (and life in general) kept me so busy that I am only now sitting down to produce videos. Here's a video I just edited from March of this year. These videos are more for me to look back on as a record of our first garden year with our new garden space. However, I'm also sharing for others to learn from and inspire.  It's a rewarding hobby that feeds my family and grows us in so many different ways ..read more

Wow. It's June! The first day of June. I am still a bit in shock. My garden is filling up with plants, school is winding down for the year and, the weather has been consistently warm. There are a lot of indicators that it is the beginning of June, however, I am still orienting myself to that truth. The past few weeks have been incredibly productive and busy in the best way!  Piper started coach pitch softball and has games twice each week. She's doing so great learning and growing with her team. She is about to finish first grade and we couldn't be any more proud of her! Delaney ..read more

Whoops! I forgot to hit "publish" on this post. So even though it's been well over a week, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! We sure did!  There were quite a few times where I intentionally stopped whatever I was doing to savor the fact that we are living out some of the best days of our lives with our kids. Every day with young children comes with a different mix of chaos and beauty. That goes for holidays, especially.  On Saturday, I worked at our family’s diner in the morning and then we all went to church for an evening Easter service. I love Easter and all ..read more

Hello, hello! I hope this blog finds you well. Thanks for stopping by to catch up with me today. It’s quite clear that I haven’t been blogging as much recently. The other day, I started to ask myself why that has been the case. Sure, I haven’t been feeling all that well (see previous post for more on that). But, that isn’t the only reason. Some of the reason is because I feel like I don’t want to waste anyones time with my ramblings. Time is precious and fleeting. I don’t want to waste my own time or yours.  So, I think another reason I haven’t been blogging all that much is because I’ve ..read more

Hello, and happy Monday! How is the month of January treating you so far? Truth be told, I started out the month feeling less than motivated. I haven't been making weight-loss a goal or priority since before the holidays. Thankfully, I've still maintained around the same weight, despite my lack of motivation.  Over the past couple of months, I have maintained the bare minimum of healthy habits and practiced them about 50% of the time. That seems to be the magic percentage for me to maintain my weight but, I know it's time to start moving toward that 80/20 percentage again so I can start ..read more

Happy Sunday! I don't usually post on the weekends but if you've been coming around these parts lately then you know I haven't been posting all that much in general. This is my way of trying to get caught up so I can start blogging more regularly, again. This little project was special and fun. Today, I'm sharing a short video from Laney's First Birthday Party ..read more

Nothing like starting out the New Year trying to catch up on vlogs from last Summer. Oye! I had a bunch of clips from the past year that didn't make it into any videos and so I mashed them all together to share this cute family update from Summer and Fall of 2021! It is so special for us to look back and see how much the girls have grown in such a short time! I am hoping that by sharing this video, I will be able to catch up on my other videos (Laney's Birthday and Christmas), then we can chat in real time. I have so much to catch you up on! Stay tuned ..read more

Hello! I started typing out this post sometime during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day where we weren't quite sure what day it was at any given moment, but we did know we were eating far too many cookies to care. It was a little disorienting that week because Piper was on winter break and Nick was laid off until sometime after the New Year. While we were all out of routines, we were all still enjoying the extra time with one another.  Truth is, we are already through the first week of the New Year and things still feel quite the same. Nick isn't back to work yet, which has be ..read more
