Red Bank Recap {November}

It feels like with each passing year that it gets busier and busier as the year winds down. Holidays, parties, activities, dress up days, etc., and November is basically December Jr when it comes to remembering and doing all the things! But, I will say, I really love the holiday time of year, so even…… Continue reading Red Bank Recap {November}

The Nutcracker 2023

Our Tiny Angel had her Nutcracker debut over the weekend! Olivia’s ballet studio puts on an elaborate production of The Nutcracker every year in November. Each age group that takes classes has a role so the entire studio can be involved, with the youngest being the Ballet I 5-6 year olds playing the Tiny Angels.…… Continue reading The Nutcracker 2023

Life Lately- October 2023

Just as I predicted last month, October has flown by and was full to the brim! We’ve spent just about every Saturday at the soccer fields, for anywhere from 1 to 3 games for the day. Each one has a practice on a weeknight, so we are hitting soccer three times a week for now.…… Continue reading Life Lately- October 2023

Matchy Matchy

When I became a new mom, especially a new girl mom, my favorite hobby I never knew I had until that point was dressing Olivia to match me. She had no idea what was going on, and it soothed some OCD part of my soul for us to be coordinating on a regular basis. When…… Continue reading Matchy Matchy

Despite being people who live fairly scheduled lives, and enjoy structure and predictability, Steven and I tend to have a penchant for spontaneity and adventure when there isn’t something scheduled. After a week of rain (thank you, Lord!), both kids’ soccer games on Saturday were rescheduled, so we found ourselves with an open Saturday last…… Continue reading Long Live the Matadors

Off to Preschool!

After a summer of fun, Henry is back to preschool! Henry could not be more opposite of his sister- where she is calm, he is wild. Where she is measured and responsible, he is free and at times, mischievous (although he owns this- he will misbehave and be completely honest that he did, which both…… Continue reading Off to Preschool!

On the Fence

It’s been a busy few days of ranching adventures around Red Bank Cattle Company! We started off the week on Monday with a nice, clean house because we had Steven’s family over for lunch after church on Sunday. What better way to start a Monday than everything clean and organized?? I got ready for the…… Continue reading On the Fence

Amos Moses, The Cajun Bullmastiff

When you love something/ someone, it’s fairly intuitive what you do- you cherish it, are grateful for it, spend as much time as you can with it, and appreciate it. And we loved Boudreaux the bullmastiff so much, that we did those things, for sure. And we let that love convince us we needed another…… Continue reading Amos Moses, The Cajun Bullmastiff

Bookshelf Review January- August 2023

Happy Friday! In the past, I have been with it enough to review books by month as I’ve read them, but I’ve got several months to catch up on, so I’m going to give a rating/ short review for every book I’ve read so far in 2023, and shout out my top three favorites so…… Continue reading Bookshelf Review January- August 2023
