Hi there! Long time, no see! It’s been over a year since my last blog post. When I logged back on to start typing up this blog post, there were so many new updates to WordPress- I had to completely relearn how to use it. Even though it’s been a learning curve, I am really enjoying the updates. It actually has me considering getting back into blogging a bit. Anyway, for now I’m sharing about our recent Staycation we had in St. Louis. Full disclosure- We partnered with Explore St. Louis for this staycation. Though it was not a sponsored trip (I did not get paid to share about our staycation,) w ..read more

Since my post last month, I’ve been kind of lost on how I should move forward with my blog. Should I catch up on posts that I missed (and now feel out of place?) Or do I just count these past months as a loss and just start fresh? I haven’t really decided what I want to do (if you have any input, I’d love to hear!) But for now, I want to share about something fun that I had the opportunity to work on a couple of months ago. Back in April I released a bow collection with one of my all time favorite bow shops, Modern Piggy! So I thought it would be fun to walk you through the process and show yo ..read more

I wasn’t sure if/when I would ever get back to it. But I miss documenting everything and sharing more than the snippets I share on Instagram. I’ve stated multiple times that I have a hard time finding motivation to blog. But I’m hoping that once I get back to it, I’ll start enjoying it again. Anyway, I have missed sharing numerous things over the past 6+ months so I’ll probably attempt to do some quick “catch up” pos ..read more

Hi-Ho-Halloween

Happy Halloween!! I’m so excited to share our Halloween costumes with you!! When we were thinking up family costume ideas for this year, I couldn’t resist dressing up as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. With 7 children, it just seemed so perfect. After Evangeline got over the fact that she was going to be an old man with a beard instead of a princess, she was excited as well Every year on Halloween, we go to a fall festival at a church nearby. The kids love playing the games and winning candy. And I love that it’s indoors so we don’t have to worry about the cold weather! They also have a co ..read more

Picking at Eckert’s

Back in the beginning of September we went apple picking in the 90+ degree heat. We came home with the most amazing Honeycrisp apples I’ve ever tasted. But it just didn’t feel like fall. Apple picking is one of my favorite fall activities so I knew I wanted to try again when it was cooler outside. Last weekend we were invited back to Eckert’s for apple and pumpkin picking. Instead of sweating, we were shivering. It felt much more like fall and we loved it so much! We had never visited the Millstadt location so we were excited to check it out. But we made a quick stop over at their Bellevi ..read more

Clementine is Two!

I’m not quite sure how it’s possible but last week (October 4th) we celebrated Clementine’s 2nd birthday. It’s hard to believe that she is already 2 years old! Those of you who have been around since her birth may remember the sweet baby girl with dark hair, chubby cheeks, and the most perfect eyebrows I have ever seen on a newborn. She’s grown up so much over the past couple of years and it has been such a joy to watch her grow! I was so excited to do a fun little photoshoot with Clementine for her birthday. With 2 year olds, you just never know if they’re going to even cooperate. But I knew ..read more

August Rush

This blog post has nothing to do with the movie, “August Rush”, and everything to do with the fact that I’m trying to rush to get caught up on posting by sharing a quick summary of August. Although, I did watch the movie on Netflix last month while I was avoiding blogging. It’s such a good movie with some amazing music! Fun fact–after I first watched the movie years ago, I put the name “August” on my list of boy names. Obviously we never did use it but I still love the name so much! Okay, so I guess this post does have something to do with the movie– now it just makes the title a little more r ..read more

This post contains affiliate links. For more information, visit my Privacy Policy page. Well hello there! It’s been a while since I’ve updated this space. What started as an unintentional break from blogging turned into an intentional break. Over the past few months, I’ve lost my motivation to blog. It started to become a chore. So instead of forcing myself to do it, I took a break. And I loved it! As I think I’ve mentioned multiple times before, my blogging time is after the kids go to bed. But that’s also my “relax and watch Netflix” time. And these past few months, Netflix has won. But ..read more

Hi!! I hope you are having a great week! I have so many photos over the past few months that never made it to my blog. I debated just skipping over them and moving on. But I want them here–even when it feels like it’s way overdue. Anyway, this is going to be a very picture heavy post with pictures from the end of March to the end of May. Some are Instagram repeats and the others are just random photos from my camera and phone. I just really wanted to get these pictures up so I don’t feel guilty about moving on to other posts. But before the photos, I just wanted to quickly answer a question fr ..read more

How We’re Able to Afford a Large Family

After procrastinating for months, I’m finally getting around to sharing what so many people have requested. Before I begin this post, I just wanted to say that I’m not an expert at all. I probably won’t share anything that you haven’t heard before. And there are definitely many ways that we could be better at saving money. But one of the questions I hear the most often is how we’re able to afford a large family. So I wanted to share a bit of our backstory, where we are now, and some ways we’ve been able to save money. This is more of a “how we’re able to do it” post instead of an advice post ..read more
