Whew. 2020. The year that many of us will be trying to process for the rest of our lives, I think. Honestly, we’re almost at the end of January, and I STILL feel like I don’t know what to make of the last year. It was messy and hard and unexpected. It brought big (unplanned) …
The Last Decade In Pictures and Bullet Points
I debated doing this post or not (because I didn’t know how interesting it would be to anyone other than me and my family), but after seeing Steph’s recap of her past decade this morning, I just couldn’t help myself! I mean, it’s not often you get to start a brand new decade (this is …
A Year of Weekly Family Pictures
Back in September of 2018, we kind of fell into the habit of taking a weekly family picture every Sunday. It had been an easy enough habit to get into, since we’d gotten first into the habit of taking a picture of my growing belly each week when I was pregnant with Mathias, which then …
