I finally put some of those frozen bananas to use in my banana bread! 😆 Who else has a freezer full of brown bananas? Can’t just be me.

Honestly I can’t believe a band tee didn’t mak Honestly I can’t believe a band tee didn’t make it into this mix. 🎶🤘🏻 But there’s a @drpepper t-shirt so that’s even better! I’ve been having so much fun lately remixing things I’ve had for years along with a few new pieces! 

Thrifting and finding a super good clearance deal = my favorite! I’m not really sure what my style is these days.. but I’m having fun playing around with it and feeling a little more like ME in what I’m wearing. Warped Tour heart, coffee shop soul vibes? ✨😆

I think sometime between becoming a mom, working, I think sometime between becoming a mom, working, keeping up with a house, and trying to take care of everyone else… I forgot to ask myself what I actually like.

So lately I’ve been paying attention.

The clothes I want to wear.

The hobbies I want to try.

The spaces I want to create.

The things that make me feel like myself.

Maybe this is exactly what your late 30s are for. Not becoming someone new.. but remembering who you are.✨

My littlest boys are 4️⃣!! Their only birthday My littlest boys are 4️⃣!! Their only birthday demand was that we get them a Sonic the hedgehog cake! 😆 

I still just sit and stare at them in disbelief sometimes.. my twin babies.. my last babies.. and somehow they’ve been here for 4 whole years. If you’re a twin mom, you know that the time passes different. The early stages are a blur in a way I don’t even know how to explain. It makes it all a bit more bittersweet.

I love you Bennett & Everett! 💙💙

Universal was a blast. I hadn’t been since I was Universal was a blast. I hadn’t been since I was a teenager and I only vaguely remembered a ride or two! There was so much to do for the littlest brothers and aside from being HOT, it was perfect. 

Everett was big mad at us for taking him on the SpiderMan ride and did not trust our judgement the rest of the time. 🤣 He LOVED the 1 Fish 2 Fish ride and wanted to ride that all day. 

Bennett on the other hand was all about the thrills and the Trollercoaster was his favorite. He said it was “Torrifying” but he made us all ride it with him multiple times.

I rode Velocicoaster with Nate, Landon, and Maile. And while I would do it again - for a moment I did think I might die. I only did that once. 🤣 Nate and Landon rode it multiple times. Hagrid’s was more my speed and Cohen agrees with me! 

I am a Disney girl at heart! But Disney doesn’t have a *real life* baby dinosaur that you can pet sooo there’s some competition. 😆

Pickle Love & An Outfit!

On Saturday we ended up in downtown Toledo looking for a yummy place to eat lunch. I looked up several places on Google and we settled on a local brewery (right up our alley!) – but once we arrived we realized that they didn’t open until 4pm. It was around 2:30 or so and we were beyond starving. So I found another place, an Irish pub called The Blarney, and we drove a few blocks over. I’m sure the first place we decided to go would’ve been great, but man oh man am I glad we went to The Blarney. DE-LICIOUS! I had a bowl of baked potato soup and half of a turkey club sandwich with a little pickle on the side. (I’m mentioning the pickle because I used to hate them and I’ve recently started loving them. That, and mustard. TWO things I used to detest.)


I was making this face because I felt weird taking this picture in public..

While we were walking back to the car from eating I spied a great place for outfit photos. I do this all of the time, but usually opt out of these situations like- “OH well, I didn’t come here planning to take outfit photos.” But this time I was just like, “What the hell? Nate, take a few pictures!” The iPhone makes it easier to do things like this on a whim. (I know, I’m still talking about my phone. SORRY.)


After we left The Blarney we headed back to our hotel room. We had just moved to our second hotel room when we left for lunch, so we were eager to get back and play! The pool in this room was significantly bigger and it was a two story loft! The bed was probably my favorite part- the biggest comfiest plushiest bed I’ve ever slept in. Just so wonderful.

We didn’t have a whole whole lot of time to hang out, so Nate took a dip in the pool and I relaxed on the amazing bed. We headed out to Headliners to see Saves The Day and The Get Up Kids play a little bit later. Without saying a whole lot- it was awesome… with a little bit of a twist towards the end. The recipe for this night would be: two amazing bands, beer, dancing, friends, one pair of ruined leopard flats, a STD band member with a broken nose, and a very very memorable Matt story. Yep.


Mr. Amazing himself- Chris Conley. <3 (I love that I've met him! He's too sweet.)
