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!

I am such a homebody. I love the days when Mazers and I just cook, bake, read, play, talk, dance, and just live life TOGETHER. If someone walked into our home, I am sure they would wonder who in the world this crazy lady is, but all I know is that Mazy loves it. That…

Around The Home

Loving the warm and spring/summer like weather here in Minnesota! That means we are outside almost all day. This past week we decided to make the hole where a tree once was, into a sandbox. When we walk past the back door, Mazy always points outside, to that sandbox. She ends up in there sometimes…

Here’s To Another Year

A month ago, this maybe isn’t how I anticipated celebrating my 34th birthday, but this doesn’t surprise God. I remember thinking before my first surgery, that by my birthday, I wouldn’t necessarily be back to normal, but I would be far on the mend. I would be a week past my post-op appointment and hopefully…

An Invisible String

When a family member is on a difficult path, it is the whole family that walks that journey not only with them, but walks that journey in their own unique way. What I mean is that even though there is one person experiencing the health, personal, or emotional struggle, it really is the whole family…
