Disney 2024
I’m thankful for a magical trip to Disney last week with our family. It was perfect weather, and the kids had a blast. Lake was tall enough to ride some new rides like Thunder Mountain and Slinky Dog Dash and Roan met several princesses.

Mitten Memories: Fall Break Dump 2023
We had the best little getaway in Michigan last week. Lake had the honor of being the ring bearer in Keegan and Sabrina’s wedding. He did SUCH a good job and was sooooooo excited to wear his tux. Roan and Lake both danced the night away at the reception! We got to Petoskey a little early, so we ventured out to a light house and Lake was very interested in learning about buoys. We spent one night in Mackinaw City and another in Charlevoix, before heading over to Mackinac Island for a quick visit on our last day. Roan was obsessed with the “Neigh Neighs” on the island and both…

Momma and Me Matching Style
Roan and I are in our matching era and I hope it never ends! I loved matching Roany in our Ivy City Co. dresses last week. We had the pleasure of attending a wedding (where Lake served as ring bearer!) and these pretty dresses were perfect. PLUS these beauties are now on Final Sale so they are majorly discounted! Women’s ran TTS, but we sized down on Roan’s; it ran large. See links to both dresses below.

Christmas Traditions: A Michigan Christmas Eve
Looking toward Thursday’s impending bad weather, we are realizing that we will not be able to travel to Michigan as planned. While we wait for next weekend and hope for clear skies and roads, I thought it would be fun to look back at Christmas Eve pictures from over the years- In honor of our tradition; Christmas Eve at my Grandma and Grandpa Mumaw’s house (or as Lake says, Grandma and Papa Mumaw, his friends). My hair has changed over the years, Daniel joined the crew, and now we have two precious babies around. One thing is for sure though- There is always a Chocolate Lab involved. Pictures are 2010-2021.
