April 5th 💕

Happy TUESDAY!! Goodness, it's been a busy and FUN last few weeks over here. We've celebrated a third birthday for Jane, the end of a chapter for Pierce, enjoyed a week of Pierce off work, taken a little fun road-trip, worked on our yard, had a birthday party for Jane, hosted small group, had family in town, and now are figuring out new rhythms with a new job in our midst. We've loved all of the family time though and it's been sweet to celebrate the big things in the middle of enjoying all of the little things too. 

Jane is THREE!!

Friday Favorites - Jane's Room, Date Nights, and Park Days

Happy FRIDAY!!! The last Friday in March!!! How did it go by so fast?! I happen to love the trifecta of months on their way - April, May, and June are just HAPPY in my mind - spring, the start of the summer, blue skies, warm air, flowers blooming, a few rainy days mixed in, not to mention we will be celebrating all FOUR of these Riddicks birthdays plus a lot of big changes on the horizon too with Pierce's job and a few fun trips in the mix as well. It's a big season for us, but one that we're looking forward to!! Here are just a few favorites over here from this last full week of March for your Friday!!

It's been a full month, but we have loved the time outside in the sunshine the very most!! Here are just a few snapshots for your Wednesday!! 

100 Miles Before and After Baby

Well, I couldn't get too far into the year without a little post reflecting on all of the miles that 2024 held... Our second little one was due in June last year, so I made a goal at the beginning of the year to walk 100 miles before the baby came and 100 miles after, and it was such a fun one to complete and maybe even sweeter to look back on all those sweet walks that took place throughout the year! Here are just a few thoughts for your Tuesday! 

Happy Nine Months to Andy!!

Little small joys from our past week or so! I hope you've been finding them too in your days! Here are a few for your Friday morning!! 

Frame This Moment - Driving Lessons

Happy Thursday and Frame This Moment Day!!!

Frame This Moment - Bedtime Snuggles.

Happy Thursday, friends!!! I hope everyone has been having a great week! We are doing good over here and have been loving our first few days of March. I'll be back next week with a few posts to kick off the month, but today I just have a little Frame This Moment post... It's nothing glamorous, but the sweetest little moment that I wish I could just bottle up and "frame" forever... 

Friday Favorites - Snow, Backpack Carriers, and Little Helpers

Happy Friday and LAST day of February!!! I know the first favorite today is our snow from last week, but let me tell you, our real favorite has been these SPRING days that we've been having this week. 70º weather is just hard. to. beat. It's our very favorite, and we've done everything from picnics, to walking to chalk and stickers, working out, playing with neighbors and eating lunch OUTSIDE this week because we just haven't been able to get enough. So, here's to hopefully the last time snow will be a favorite for a few months and the days of lots of spring in the air starting! Here are just a few little favorites for your Friday!

It's been a sweet month, one with lots of cold and lots of snow, a little sickness, but lots of fun and little memories for sure. Here's just a few snapshots of our February!! 

Ten Things I Love About Motherhood

Aww happy Tuesday!! Before the month of February ended, I knew I had to take a moment and write my 2025 version of this post. 

Valentine's Weekend with Cousins

Happy Monday, friends!!! Today I thought I would share some of the sweet snapshots from our weekend with Pierce's brother, sister-in-law, and they're two littles... Logan, Pierce's brother, started dating Jessy, one of my sweet friends from camp, the same summer Pierce and I started dating... We got engaged a month a part, married three and five months later, and then had Jane and Lucy the same summer and Andy and Cooper two summers later. They are still some of our very best friends, so we were thrilled when they said they wanted to take their long weekend to drive to Nashville to see us!! 

Frame This Moment - Homemade Playdough

Oh, happy Thursday! This past weekend we had Pierce's brother and sister-in-law and their two littles stay with us for Valentine's weekend, and it sure was a sweet one!!! I'll post more about it next week, but we've just been taking the week to reset, play a lot, and enjoy the fun surprise snow that came this week! Today's sweet Frame This Moment came from a little moment during one of Andy's morning naps this week...
