We chose Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine as our first stab at a staycation, and I'll be the first to admit I was thoroughly impressed.

Family time is what I live for these days, and our third annual glamping trip with the Le family did not disappoint. This trip is the most highly anticipated trip of the year for Robert and I, and I am already looking forward to the next one!

A memoir for my dad and a message about suicide
Ten years. Ten whole years without my sweet dad. Without his laughter, his encouragement, his butterfly kisses and bear hugs. I have been really candid and open about the circumstances revolving my mom's death, but I haven't spoken publicly about the circumstances around my dad's. Over the past couple of months, I have questioned that… Continue reading A memoir for my dad and a message about suicide
Beckham’s 2nd Birthday Party
I seriously can't believe it has already been six(ish) weeks since we celebrated Beckham's 2nd birthday with family and friends. I think I say this every time, but time.is.flying. Beckham has been obsessed with cars, buses, fire trucks, airplanes, and all other forms of transportation in between, so deciding a theme was a no-brainer. Watching… Continue reading Beckham’s 2nd Birthday Party

Cheers to 60 years!
60 years of marriage, 80 years on Earth. Last month, we had the opportunity to celebrate my grandma's 80th birthday and my grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary with friends and family near and far. If I could relive that day over and over again, I absolutely would.
Christmas 2018
Christmas 2018 in review.
All the Fall Things
Just as fast as we were decorating for Fall, we were taking it all down and replacing with all things Christmas. I don't know how time is flying by so quickly, but it literally feels like we were just trying to figure out how to trick Beckham into wearing baby nerd glasses and a "La… Continue reading All the Fall Things
Ten years
TEN years have seriously come and gone in a flash, yet feels like a lifetime! 1/3 of my life with my best friend?! I'll take it. I met Robert during an interview for my first "real" job-- he was one of two interviewers in the room, and was standing with his arms crossed, leaning against… Continue reading Ten years
