Happy, happy Friday, my friends!! We are so glad it's the weekend over here!

Frame This Moment - Watching Out the Window

Happy Thursday, friends!! Well, we are finally back over here and are so thankful. Pierce has recovered, Jane is 100%, my back is almost there, and our backlog of laundry and house chores are slowly getting checked off as well. Thank you for your sweet and kind check-ins on us last week as well and for celebrating five years of blogging! So fun!! I thought I'd jump back on today for a little Frame This Moment on this Thursday!

Happy March

Hi friends! Happy March!!! A new month. Last week hit us pretty hard over here in the Riddick house... Jane started the week with a fever, I had a back injury that coincided with a work trip for Pierce, and he came home with a pretty bad bug that he picked up, so needless-to-say, we are hopeful the beginning of March starts off a little better than February ended... But today, I just have a little post to say Happy March!!

2025 in Review

Oh, 2025. You were one of our favorites to date. This little "Year in Review" post slipped my mind at the beginning of this year, but boy am I glad that I remembered... It may be the middle of February, but looking back and remembering a few of the highlights from each month will forever be a favorite. And 2025 was a special one. It was of course filled with lots of joy and lots of hard, but I think when I look back, I just remember the fun. We tried really hard to fill each month with a lot of FUN, and it makes me smile as I look back on so many of these snapshots. Summer 2025 will forever be a favorite of ours. The ages of the kids, the season we were in with jobs and life, the adventures we had, the small moments we soaked in, we just loved it all. Add in the spring, birthdays, the fall, and holidays, and it adds up to be a favorite!

The kids have loved it, we've loved it, we've stayed up way too late and have been way too invested at times, but what a fun few weeks it's been! Today I just have a few simple joys for your Friday! Little snapshots and fun that this week held! I hope you've been finding them in your own week as well! Here are just a few of ours!

Ten Things I Love About Motherhood

Happy Tuesday, my friends!!! In honor of Valentine's Day and the month of February, I thought I would continue one of my favorite little posts - Ten Things I Love About Motherhood. I started this back in 2023 when I was just ten months into this little journey with sweet Jane. I remembering just feeling a pressing on my heart to lean into the good.

Friday Favorites - Valentine's Edition

Happy Friday, my friends!! It's Valentine's Day Weekend!! How special and fun!! There is just something fun about this time of year, and maybe it's because I spent so many years of my life in an elementary school setting during this sweet month, but I couldn't love the pink and red and fun that it brings. So I just have a few favorite Valentine's things over here for you that have brought us joy this week!!

Frame This Moment - “French Braiding Lesson”

Happy Thursday and Frame This Moment Day!! Today’s little snapshot was this week on one of our 70° weather days and just made me smile. It was the essence of a little moment in time to frame in my mind…

Let's Look - Ways We've Turned into Our Parents

Happy Wednesday, friends!! I thought today I would jump on board the Let's Look blog link-up and share just a few ways our parents have influenced us over here... 😉 We always laugh at those "I'm turning into my parents commercials," and really, we have amazing parents, but the older we get, the longer our list gets of things we have picked up over the years... Here are just a few that come to mind!

Life Lately In Film - January Edition

Happy Tuesday friends!!! Today I thought I'd start a new little series on here called "Life Lately In Film." 


It will come as no surprise to anyone that I am a picture girl through and through. I love them. I always have, and I'm sure always will. I was the friend communicating via picture texts back with a flip phone and thinking the best errand as a child was going with my mom to get our "film" developed at the store. I will always love pictures so very much, but recently, especially with littles who are ever-changing, I have started to just adore videos just as much. SO much is captured on film. And as I've been in my "Frame This Moment" season, I have realized how much is truly framed in a little snapshot of a video.

Friday Favorites - Valentine's Bows, Crafts, and Winter Olympics

Happy FRIDAY!! My, are we always glad to see the weekend, but this one feels a little sweeter. It's been a busy and full week over here for us, but we have been thankful for a "normal" week so to speak. Jane and I have been loving all things pink and red and Andy even made a little craft this week that he is SO proud of. We're looking forward to the weekend with some family time, some times with friends, and a little football to end the season too. Thought I'd share just a few simple joys from our week - I hope you are finding them throughout yours as well!!

Frame This Moment - Louisville Sledding

Happy Thursday and Frame This Moment Day!! Today I just have a few snapshots from our sweet time in Louisville last week. They had about 8 or 9 inches of pure snow, so the kids were in heaven. It was cold, but sledding was a hit.

Riddicks' Winter Storm Week

Happy Wednesday, friends! Well, today I thought I would share a few snapshots from our time last week with all of the snow and ice. I know this winter storm created a lot of hardship for a lot of people, in and out of Nashville, and we are still praying for those without power and all who were deeply affected by this storm. With two littles under our roof, we tried to keep morale high and memory making a priority, while simultaneously having heavy hearts and a mindset of prayer for all that was happening around us.

Out of all the the blur of last week, my very favorite moment was when Jane went to her room for a minute with our power out and trees and tree branches falling left and right around our neighborhood. She came downstairs a few minutes later and said, "I went to my room and prayed that a tree would not fall on our house." Cue all the tears. The faith and prayers of a child. There is nothing quite like them. 

So, needless-to-say, we are just making our way through the days after this storm, reflecting on the sweetness and fun and the hard and the good, all the while keeping our focus on Jesus. I thought I'd just share a few snapshots and memories from the week though - a week for the books for sure.

So needless-to-say, we are ready to welcome in this next pink and red month!! February is just sweet and fun and light and full of all the things we love, and we are ready for a little of all of that in our house these days!

We are here!

Friends, I am just popping in to say that we are here, we are safe and warm! Thanks for everyone checking in on us... Nashville got hit VERY hard with ice this weekend, and we were very fortunate to only have damage to our fence and power line out front, but goodness, it's been a hard weekend for our city.

Frame This Moment - Saturday Mornings

Happy Thursday!! And Frame This Moment Day!! Is anyone else getting ready for the snow/ice this weekend? Jane has her fingers crossed that we get some white fluffy snow to play in, and we are simultaneously praying that our power stays on and for everyone to stay safe and warm this weekend too!! But today's frame this moment is from last weekend, and is just the simplest little moment on a Saturday morning.

Frame This Moment - Breakfast.

Happy Thursday, friends!! A favorite day of the week. 

Three years ago, I started this little series, "Frame This Moment," after a blog I used to read in high school. She was a mom of three who had just moved to Hawaii for her husband's job and encouraged everyone to start "framing" little moments of their day, their life, their season, thanking the Lord for the little things and the joy that was all around us. It always stuck with me and documenting little "moments" every Thursday in this space has been such a blessing to me. Some weeks, I feel like I don't have a "perfect" moment to frame, but every week, I love the practice of slowing down enough to see the small things through a lens of savoring and enjoying. When I look back on these posts, I can't help but smile. There is sure a variety, but what a gift it is to see the Lord's goodness through tiny snapshots of moments in our life. You can find the very first Frame This Moment post here and all of them here, but here is the first one to kick off 2026!

Christmas 2025 Snapshots ✨

Happy, happy Tuesday!!! Oh, it's so fun to be back here. Thank you for everyone who filled out the blog survey last week - I loved reading so many ideas and now have a fun list to blog through this year. Today I thought it would be fun to share a few snapshots from our Christmas break. We celebrated Christmas at our house, and then spent a few days in Louisville getting to see family and friends and lots of rest and recovery (from that dreaded stomach bug), and then were home with a few days left to ring in 2026 and soak in some home time before back to schedules and rhythms in the new year... It was a sweet break, so without further ado, here are just a few snapshots from Christmas!

Happy 2026!!!
