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!

If you live in Michigan, I don’t have to say it twice – this past week was one for the record books! I can’t ever remember saying “It’s STILL snowing” so many times in a week before and when I said it, it was the truth. Wow. I do not think I was alive to…

When Peace Like A River

I know yesterday I talked a lot about Christ’s death on the cross, but I just haven’t stopped thinking about it. Easter is one of those “holidays” that I NEVER want to overlook because of business or just not taking the time to think about. Every year I try to spend more and more time reflecting…

Confession From This Mother’s Heart

Comparing. As a new mom, I am realizing more and more, the danger of comparing my child to others. My wise sister told me recently that every kid is different, as we were discussing the different milestones that her 4 girls went through and my sister-in-law said the same thing. Not that this was new…

What’s Been Going On

A little update on our life… Can’t believe we are like 2/3 the way through August already! Dan and I keep telling ourselves that just because the kids go back to school, doesn’t mean our summer is over! September can bring THE most beautiful weather (though we’ve been blessed with a gorgeous August!) We are…

Words are powerful. Of course you recognize the old saying… Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Really, that could not be more untrue. Sticks and stones hurt – for a short time. But those wounds usually heal. Words though – that hurt can last a lifetime. Words can…

Fall is arriving here in Michigan and as much as I’d love for summer/pool weather to be a constant, there is something to be said about wearing sweatshirts, breaking in the jeans again, and warm drinks! With Fall, also comes routine, all things fall including hunting and soccer, and did I mention getting back into…
