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
Lately (Shark Week version)
You guys, it’s SHARK WEEK!! I don’t usually get all into sharks, but I have been sucked in majorly this year. Maybe it was Anna’s super awesome, last-minute, kick-off party? Funny story: A few years ago, when Kyndall was 4(ish), Justin let her watch a few episodes of shark week. In the middle of the night, I woke to heart stopping screams coming for her room. I rushed in to.. 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.

5 things right now
1. My five year old told me this morning that I was ruining her life. All because I vetoed her restaurant of choice for lunch. (She was kidding as she said this, but I envisioned the future and teenage years and it wasn’t pretty!) 2. In my real life, I am the library media specialist (new, fancy title for librarian) at our school. Next week is the book fair, so.. Read More
Happy (early) birthday, Max!
Max’s birthday is actually in December, but I’m afraid with all the Christmas chaos, we’ll miss it. In just a few short months, he has gone from this precious little puppy: to this.

This dog steals our food, sheds EVERYWHERE, and is sometimes worse.. Read More

The girls have completely mistreated Max… Read More
