This blog was started to document my journey into parenthood. Miraculously, I have a little girl in First Grade and another in Preschool. Everything is amazing.

And then it was March of 2023. Time flies when you’re busy with two little kiddos. We had Christmas, Valentine’s Day and now it’s almost Ember’s 6th birthday. We stay busy with friends and each other. The girls are best friends. I’m so lucky to have such a sweet family. ❤️

Halloween this year was a 4 day event – Friday was Zora’s fall festival at school, then Saturday was a neighborhood block party, Sunday was the soccer game, Monday was Halloween at school for Ember AND that night was trick or treating in the neighborhood. We had a great time – Zora was Baby Shark… Read More Halloween & Our Big Trip

Ember goes to Kindergarten. Zora has a new room at school and is the big kid on campus with mom. We’ve all had COVID and the case counts are finally low enough and less scary, so off we go to make up for lost time. Zora turned 3 on September 9th and we had a… Read More Fall 2022

It has been such fun this summer with the girls. We’ve spent plenty of time in the pool and having big and little adventures. Ember took swim lessons at UTC and did great. We welcomed a new family member over the July 4th weekend. Racecar is Ember’s sweet little boy kitten and she’s a fantastic… Read More Summer & New School

I really had planned to post monthly but times goes fast, as everyone knows. The girls have been back in Daycare since the end of February and they’re both doing great. Zora is chatting up a storm and having a blast. Ember is looking forward to Kindergarten this fall and I have told her more… Read More March – June

Well, the longer I went without a post, the more I put it off. So here we are, trying to catch up 4 months worth of life. With the girls unable to receive a vaccine (even now), our lives stayed isolated and simple through the last four months. We considered sending them back to school… Read More October-February

Covid is back and badder than ever. The Delta variant arrived mid July and has hit little kids and unvaccinated adults really hard. The delta variant is also easily transmissable even if you are vaccinated, which means the magical protection we felt we had this Spring and Summer are gone as we don’t want to… Read More August & September

These kids are amazing. After a year of not being in school, both of them have jumped back in without issue. Well, we have snotty noses for the first time in a year and a tummy bug ran through our home recently, but no ACTUAL issues with school. Ember LOVES being back in school 3… Read More July 2021

I guess it’s weird that our kids are going BACK to school when everyone else gets OUT for the summer, but that’s just the way it’s worked out. We had hoped both girls could return to school after the family beach trip, but due to renovations at their class rooms, Ember was able to return… Read More June – Back to School
