Our 3rd baby, Dempsey Alton Schlather, joined us on 1/25/2021. It’s been a whirlwind of a couple months but he is fitting into our family perfectly. Dempsey’s arrival was FAST and furious at 38 weeks on the dot. I had felt like I was in labor for WEEKS…I truly was the girl who cried labor. […]
With each baby, my list of to-dos and to-buys seems to get shorter and shorter, ha. Here are a couple of the things we are stocking up on for baby #3: Blankets/swaddles Nixon has informed me that he will be sharing exactly 0 of his blankets with his new brother so new blankets and swaddles […]
We open our stockings on Christmas Eve every year and have since I was a kid… I feel like it’s the start of Christmas! I always try to fill the kids’ stockings with things they actually need (not pictured: socks, underwear, and toothpaste always!) and a couple things they will find fun and exciting. See […]
Couldn’t leave Nixon’s room (soon to be the boys’ room!) out of the holiday decorating. Nixon, of course, picked out all kinds of cars and trucks for his tree – most from Hobby Lobby and Target – and he is so proud of it! I was able to find all decor for under $100, a […]
From the true expert…Greylen! She sat down with me and we looked at some of the things we have in our house and use everyday, and I added some things they are getting this year. I plan to do a post soon about our favorite books (we have SO many) so stay tuned for that! […]
I put a poll on Instagram and the #1 requested gift guide was for parents and in-laws! So, here we go! Personalized calendar I’ve done this on and off since Greylen was born and it has been a hit every time! I’ve used Minted and Shutterfly in the past and both have been great just […]
Yep, it’s the beginning of November and our Christmas decor is coming out. I don’t usually decorate this early but it’s 2020 and whatever brings the joy goes! Greylen has NEVER been as into Christmas or decorating her room as she is now – it’s seriously so fun. I noticed that Michael’s was having a sale on […]
Well, hello! I forgot the password to my own blog (seriously, I had to reset it)…it’s been awhile! I think we can all agree that life in a pandemic just doesn’t feel the same and the same goes for blogging. There’s just so much else going on and it just kind of got moved to […]
I’d be lying if I said this project was easy (or cheap!) but after seeing the finished product and seeing how much my kids have enjoyed it, it was totally worth it! What started as this: turned into this! The playhouse itself is a KidKraft set from Costco (way more expensive online – definitely go […]
How’s it going? Not going to lie, a lot of our days lately have looked like this: This is all so crazy and hard to comprehend. I have lots of thoughts and emotions that I’ll probably keep off of the blog/social media but since lots of us are likely attempting to keep small kids entertained […]
