We love summer and so does our daughter!

Before Mazy started to not feel so great, here is what our week looked like:

After getting home from vacation last weekend, I knew I had to get out and get some strawberries! Strawberries are one of Mazy’s favorite fruits, so I wanted to make sure to get her out to the patch! We lasted about 15-20 minutes, and was able to pick a bowl full, which was good enough for me!

Mazy is a people watcher, hence her not looking at the camera!

Brouwer Berries (BEST berries you will find), has a cute little farm as well, so I knew Mazy would love that part of our “berry” picking.

She wanted to climb in and pet the ducks in the worst way! This girl is not shy of anything it seems!

This just makes me laugh!

Can’t get enough of this girl! Words just do not do justice for my thankfulness for her!

My little side kick

Strawberries mean strawberry shortcake (my favorite)

Call me obsessed, but I printed the Olympic trials tv schedule because I will NOT miss a beat!

One of my favorite pictures of sweet Mazy. She asks to take baths multiple times a day, but sometimes her kiddie pool suffices. She would be the definition of a prune if I let her be in water as often as she asks!

Questions I Asked My Daughter

I have been seeing a thread going around on social media about questions you can ask your child. I’ve seen these lists on Pinterest before, but never really took the time to ask Mazy some of them. So, while Daddy was gone and it was just her and I at the supper table, I decided…

Eyes Wide Open

One thing (among many) that Mazy has taught me is to see the world with eyes wide open. If you have taken notice, she has some pretty big blue eyes. Not only are they big and blue, but she lifts up her eyebrows, wrinkles her forehead, to open them even wider. Of course I think…

A Tribute To My Grandma

Yesterday we had the opportunity to celebrate my grandma’s life. Her passing has brought many tears and continue to, knowing the life lessons, skills, and legacy of faith have now been passed on. I drove by her condo yesterday after the funeral and oh how I wished I could’ve seen her wave out her window…

Around The Home

This past week had gone a bit different than planned, but that’s okay. Isn’t that just life sometimes, right? At the beginning of the week, we were able to finish painting the garage, stain the deck, and Dan finished up the brick walkway around the sandbox. And Dan also inserted the posts in for a…

Ultrasound Results…

You give and take away, but blessed be Your Name. The doctor was not able to find anything. No heartbeat(s). No sight of anything. Brenda is going in for a blood test today to see if her hcg levels are going up – if they are, then there is fear that the babies are in…

The Gift Of Time

The gift of time. Have you ever thought about how time, though it as no monetary value, can be one of life’s greatest values and possessions? When I think of the gift of time, I immediately think of how Jesus lived His life. He walked the streets, looking to give people His time. It wasn’t…
