What could be better than a two month “vacation” over Thanksgiving and Christmas, right? See Part 1 and Part 2 here. While the long vacation was nice, it unfortunately couldn’t last forever, wah! You know the saying, “It’s not WHAT you know. It’s WHO you know?” That once again proved true for me when someone…
Our Wild Wade is eight people. If you remember, we thought we were ready for #2 when Haylee was less than two herself. We had a long wait that finally successfully ended in our second round of IUI at a fertility clinic. Nine months later we had our Wild Wade. Looking back at these eight…

Parenting is hard. Parenting a girl tween is bordering impossible. I think I have been afraid of parenting a teen since I was a teen myself. I remember seeing friends or others that went down a wrong path and wondering what was it that made that happen. They seemed to have normal caring parents and…
We are heading home from our Waterpark Week in Tennessee, and I’m sharing one more Vacation oldie but goodie repost with you today. Isn’t Disney one of those iconic vacations that seem to be legendary family trips? I know Disney isn’t for everyone… there are plenty of Disney haters, but we had an absolute BLAST…
We are just crazy for deciding to do this little by little moving thing. Every weekend since the move, we have been over at the OLD house trying to load up more of our precious junk and getting things cleaned out and ready to put it up for rent. Saturday we were at the old…
