Hooray hooray marathon week is here! Not just any marathon week – a marathon week that has been 2 years in the making for me! I’ve done a few day in the life posts before (you can see some of my past ones here, here, and here), but I thought it might be...

Even though Easton is turning 4 months tomorrow, I’m still going to count these as his 4 month favorites! It truly is amazing how much he will change from month to month! His interests change so quickly these days but it’s so fun to watch him develop and...

I think I had a really important break through this week. Maybe it was the time away last week, or maybe I just finally got in the right mindset but either way it’s better late than never! This was a big week for me, but I’m excited to say that I feel...
