Happy Friday friends! I hope you all have had a wonderful start to summer! June is my favorite month of the year, (outside of December), because it is not only the start to summer, but it is also my and Maddie's birthday month! We always celebrate the kick-off to summer with strawberry picking which is something I look forward to every year! Strawberries were something I craved when I was pregnant, and are now one of Maddie's favorite foods!

We celebrated Maddie turning four with a princess...

Hey there friend! So glad you're here! I'm starting up the Fave Five series on the blog again, (what used to be called Friday Fave); Because of the fact that I simply miss connecting with those of you who don't have social media!

Perhaps fellow wife, momma, believer in Christ, foodie, or health enthusiast, and you are curious about what other women in the same walk of life are up to, but most of all I hope that you find these posts fun, encouraging, and also keep us connected, (especially if...

Happy Friday Friends! I hope you had a wonderful week! It sure feels good to be done with such a productive week for us! Sean finally completed his huge summer outdoor project! He has been outside every spare moment he had since the beginning of summer working on this play area, and I couldn't be more proud of him! Maddie and I are so blessed to have a daddy/husband that works so hard for us!

Most of my week was spent gearing up to film a new story video with the incredible Brian and Stacey!...
