First things first, I want to apologize for the lack of posting last week. It was Book Fair week at school, which is always crazy. By the time I got home in the afternoons, I was beat. Done for. Finished. So we are starting our week off with a “Currently” post. Be sure to check back Wednesday and Friday for our Panama City Beach recaps, too. This girl.. Read More
Marriage Matters
This weekend, Justin and I had the opportunity to attend the Ignite Marriage Conference at Church of the Highlands in Birmingham. COH has several campuses, and our tickets were for the Grant’s Mill location. We went down early on Friday to look at a few house things and then we all met up for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. (I loved the conference, but the Cheesecake Factory alone was worth.. Read More
Disney Family Vacay, Part 2
We started day four of our Disney vacation with a character breakfast at Hollywood & Vine, inside Hollywood Studios. We were the first family of the day, so we were the only ones (that day!) to get a group picture with all four characters. They gave us a “First Family” certificate and everything! Libby posed in every picture we took. For the longest, I couldn’t figure out why her eye.. Read More
Disney Family Vacay, Part 1
Our Disney trip was so much fun and I want to make sure to tell you all about it. There is just so much stuff that I decided to break it up into two separate posts, but each part is still pretty lengthy. So grab a cup of coffee, prop your feet up, and enjoy part 1 of our Disney vacation recap. 🙂 Since the girls’ birthdays are so close.. Read More
How to Bathe a Beast (AKA: Max, an 80-pound dog)
In case you were wondering, yes we still have our fur babies. I know things have been all about our real kids lately, but Max and Oakley are still very much a part of our lives. (We LOVE our dogs. I only call Max a beast because of his size. He’s actually a really great dog. Well, he needs major leash-walking lessons, but other than that, he’s a really great.. Read More
The “Big Tree” Hiking Fail
Take note of that sling Jase is wrapped in–it’s going to be important later. And those closed eyes are Libby’s new picture thing–she does it in every single picture she takes, unless I fuss. The struggle is real, y’all. If you aren’t from around these parts (as in, North Alabama), you may have never heard of the Big Tree. We live near the Bankhead National Forest and about three miles..

Easter Celebrations
We started out our Easter weekend with an egg hunt at church. Each year, TBC hosts an Easter Extravaganza with blow-ups, food, and several hundred eggs. It’s tons of fun. The weather was great and we spent the entire afternoon just hanging out at church, fellowshipping with our people. Saturday night, we hosted dinner at our house for some friends. Justin put some tri-tip on his new Orion cooker (which.. Read More
Lately
We have been doing a whole lot of nothing around here lately and it has been absolutely wonderful. Basketball is over and between bed rest and a new baby and the freezing temperatures outside, we do not leave this house. Well, the girls leave to go to school, but that’s about it. You know what’s great about being at home? I get to spend it with my people. Like, really.. Read More
Week In The Life: Friday Words + Photos
