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. 😆

A Real Life Update

My entire website used to be more journal-like than it is today. I prefer the way I run this blog now. It has more of a structured purpose and it’s kind of like my safe-haven of mostly happy thoughts and pretty pictures. It’s my collection of marriage memories and some of my favorite things and hobbies. I love that about this place.

Sometimes my blogs are pretty minimal though and without many details. So today I would like to just free-write a little about what’s been going on in my world.

Let’s start with marriage and bunny parenting. Ah, marriage. Things are great. I just can’t believe that we’re already heading into November! Where is the time going? Sometimes I really feel like it’s just flying away and I don’t have time to do the things I want and need to do! I suppose work ties into that because I’m there a lot more now. Working on the blog isn’t always as easy and I feel like I’m choosing a lot between Nate, chores, and the blog. Don’t get me wrong- I like to clean and work on my house, but I spend most of my time not at work just trying to make sure things are organized and well, not disgusting. Ha! Trying to find time to run out and take pictures is difficult and that’s hard for me because this is something I really love. I think a lot of it boils down to time management and even though I feel like I’m doing better- I still don’t think that I’m using my time effectively. It can feel pretty frustrating. I just don’t feel like I’m keeping up. As far as bunnies go- they’re still cute as ever. However, they’ve definitely outgrown their cages and we don’t have the combined 8 hours a day to let each one play separately for 4 hours. We need to build both of them their own much larger cages. It’s one of those things we keep saying that we’re going to do but keep putting off. There’s a bunch of stuff on that list!

For those of you who have asked, my father in law is doing well with his chemo treatments and my cousin Garrett is still in a coma. These two things weigh on my heart daily. All I can do is pray for each situation, and I’d appreciate your prayers and thoughts as well. It’s just so tough not knowing the future sometimes.. most of the time I suppose.

In happier news, I’m hoping to be put into a new position at work soon. If It happens I really think I’ll feel so much better about my job. I just feel like I should be doing something computer related and this seems like something that would be fulfilling for me. Keeping my fingers crossed! Well, I think I will run upstairs and take a shower. It’s 4pm and I’m still hanging out in my pjs, even though I planned a very extensive list of chores to do today. (There’s that poor time management, again!) I sort of have an excuse though as my MacBook Pro needed desperate attention and cleaning of it’s HD. I could hardly do anything on it- no good!

    I'm so bad at managing my time as well! Lately, it's been extra hard because I have a few more things on my plate. It's difficult to juggle life at times!

    Good luck at this new position, I hope you get it 🙂

    I'm hoping to make my blog like a journal with a little flair. I love reading about other people's lives and I hope to make someone else's life a little easier as I get better.

    I recently took in a bunny and I love him! I let him roam around, the only problem we've had (besides the poop pebbles :|) is him chewing on my cords – as much as I try to keep them picked up.

    I actually think I'm pretty good at time management, but I still find myself torn three ways – actually, four ways, if you count the cat (which I do) – after work.

    Best of luck with the new job – I hope you get it!

    Thank you so much. And I am definitely doing as much as I can to make sure these people are punished. I'm living with their mistakes every day.
