A Weekend with Mommy and a Night at the Fair 🎡

Happy Tuesday!!! Well, today I thought I'd share a few snapshots from our weekend. We sure had a busy, but fun one over here. Pierce was with our church for Friday and Saturday, so the kids and I tried to have as much fun as we could and then the whole family ventured to our county fair that night before bed... It was an adventure with two littles to say the least 😉 Here's just a few snapshots for your Tuesday morning!

Friday Favorites - Watermelon, Sourdough, and the Month of August

Happy FRIDAY and Happy AUGUST!!!! Aww the 1st of the month!! I say it every time, but the first of the month is just the very best in my mind. A little reset, refresh, and just a new beginning every month...and yet, the last month's rhythms, routines, and sweetness continue to carry over as well. What a perfect blend!!! August, we are ready for you!!! Today I just have a few favorites for your Friday. Little snapshots from our week and small joys from our days. I hope you are finding them in yours as well!! Here are a few of ours...

What's Up Wednesday [July 2025]

Happy Wednesday!!! I cannot believe we are already in the last week of July... HOW?! This summer has been flying by, and I have decided to continue to call August SUMMER over here, so we can continue to soak in all the sunshine and fun that these past two months have held. I thought today I would jump onto this blog link-up and share just a little about our month of July! It's been a fun one!! Here are just a few little snapshots and updates. :) 

Amazon Lately.

Happy, happy Tuesday!!! I thought today I would share a little bit of what we've been buying off of Amazon recently... I just scrolled through our orders and found the most recent orders, which includes a whole lot of random things for the summer, for cousins' birthdays, for Jane and Andy, for organizing, and a few of our household goods that we love as well. It's a random assortment, but I love getting a peek at what others are ordering so hopefully this is just a little fun look for your Tuesday morning at what has been showing up on our porch in boxes recently...

Let's Look - Things I've Changed My Mind About

Happy Wednesday! I thought I would jump on board with today's blog link-up and well, Pierce would tell you this post could be about almost everything we buy and hence why we have so many returns to make hahaha but I thought I'd share just a few thoughts and a few things that I think about differently now too. So, without further-ado, here are a few things I've "changed my mind about."

Snapshots from the Beach 2025

Happy, happy Wednesday!!! Today I thought it would be fun to share a few snapshots from our time at the beach. We love heading down to the beach in the fall with my family, but this year my mom had a quilting retreat near the coast at the beginning of June (have I ever mentioned my mom is an absolute amazing quilter?! Maybe a blog post on that one day?!) and with *two* (both of our sisters are expecting!) little nephews coming this fall and not knowing what fall travel looks like, we decided to join them for a week early summer, and we loved it!!

Andy is a FUN One 🎉

Awww HAPPY JULY!!! I just LOVE the start of a new month. And July is definitely a favorite over here!! April, May, and June are filled with lots of celebrations, all of our birthdays, and this year a lot of transition and travel mixed it too, but July is just SUMMER to me, and we can't wait!! I thought it would be fun to finish out these three months with the final birthday blogpost of a favorite little celebration that happened over the weekend. We dedicated little Andy at church on Sunday and then hosted a little grill-out to celebrate that sweet occasion, his birthday, his first year of life, and the precious little bundle of joy that he is! 

Friday Favorites - Andy's Birthday Edition

Happy, happy Friday!!! Last week, we celebrated our little Andy, and it was a favorite all day long!! I thought I'd share a few snapshots of his sweet little birthday! We can't even believe he is ONE. We have a sweet dedication at church on Sunday and then are celebrating with a little grill-out to celebrate this little boy. He's easy to celebrate, that's for sure!!! Here are a few snapshots from his birthday day!! 

Frame This Moment - Quiet Mornings.

Happy Thursday!!! And Frame This Moment Day!! Today's little snapshot was a sweet morning when Jane woke up a bit early and joined me downstairs for a little while while I was still reading... 

 

Life Lately 6.24.25

Happy, happy Tuesday!! I thought today I would share just a little Life Lately around here... We've been celebrating big birthdays, settling in from traveling, and just living lots of life in-between, so just thought it would be fun to document a few favorite little snapshots. Here are a few pictures from our life lately!! 

Andy is ONE!!!

My Favorite Beach Find

We are HOME and had truly the BEST week. It was such a fun week at the beach and sweet time with family, and as I am unpacking, catching up on laundry and turning the house back over, I thought it would be fun to share just my very favorite beach find from this past week.

Riddicks are Beach Bound!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Well, these Riddicks are making their way to the beach with my sweet family for the week!! 

Friday Favorites - Beach Edition

Happy Friday!!! Well, everyone knows I love a good Friday Favorites edition, and as I was packing us up for the beach, I thought I would jump on here with just a few of our favorites that I always pack. I'm sure there are many more, but these are just a few that I love!!  

Frame This Moment - Summer of "Letter" Fun ☀️🍉💦

Happy, happy Thursday!!! And Frame This Moment day!! Today I thought I would share a little moment from the week in the form of a list of summer fun we made! 

Traveling With Little Ones

Well, as we are packing for the beach this week, traveling has been on my mind quite a bit... 

This will be our fourth time driving to the beach with littles in carseats and our trip to Jamaica last month marked our 40th flight with littles on board with us... (Including two international trips and not to mention about 978 three hour car rides to Louisville as well.)

And goodness we are far from pros, but we have learned a lot over the past three years, so I thought I'd try to create a little post where I can share a lot of our thoughts, finds, tips and tricks that have worked for us! 

I know there are SO many families that travel far more than us, but there are so many that I have talked to as well that are nervous about taking their first flight, so hopefully, this will be a little post for everyone, and I'd love all of your tips and tricks too!! 

Happy June!!!

Aww it's JUNE!!! What a sweet, fun, and summery month!!! 

Friday Favorites - Slower Weeks, Our Kitchen Window, and Paint Sticks

Happy LAST Friday of MAY! Oh, what a great month. We love the month of May, but June is just as special now as we get to celebrate sweet little Andy Pierce Riddick next month!! Today I just have a few Friday Favorites for you! Simple little joys and snapshots from around here. I hope you're finding them in your day as well!! Here are a few for your morning!!
