    TGATG #36

    Last weekend was my 28th birthday! I love birthdays! Really any reason to celebrate is a good reason to me. This was my first birthday as a mama, and having Lottie with us just made it all the more special. My mom always makes a fall or Halloween celebration dinner. This year, we had a…

    Here in Florida, we don’t exactly get to experience fall. And since I am a “September and October are fall” and “November and December are Christmas” girlie, it makes it a little tricky to really get into the fall spirit. It is more of a “fake it till you make it” kind of fall. It’s…

    I am so thankful that we are officially in fall! Truly, I love the word “autumn”. Even the word feels cozy. Unfortunately, the weather in Tampa hasn’t quite gotten the memo that it should cool down, but I know it is coming! Bring on all of the festive desserts, pumpkin drinks, cozy kids books, and…

    Thursdays are always so fun because my mom drives from Orlando to Tampa every week to watch Lottie while I go to work. She leaves after dinner time because typically traffic has slowed down, and it takes a lot less time than if she left right when I got home from work. This Thursday, we…

    I bring Lottie with me to the office on Tuesdays and it can be a lot. Trying to juggle a baby and work in a space that is not your own can be challenging, but I am so grateful to spend the day with her. Even though it is hard, it is always worth it.…

    Lottie got a bouncer! She is loving this new development of being able to stand and reach her toys. Before when we needed to put her down, we would put her in her swing or bouncer or just lay her down. Now that she can roll, we can’t just set her on the couch and…

    Thirty days of The Good And The Grateful! While not all thirty days have been consecutive, I am so excited that I have stuck with it and found the good in each day and taken the time to document them. This is such a fun way of recording the beautiful mundane in my life. I…

    I love bank holidays! Matt gets very few holidays off, but he was off this Labor Day. I had grandiose plans of being Tampa tourists. I wanted to go to the St. Pete pier, get coffee somewhere on Waterstreet, or go to the Aquarium… but I was sick. The day was mainly spent on and…

    College football is back! I love the Gators and I love waking up on a Saturday morning to SEC Nation. Unfortunately, the Gators had a very rocky start with their Thursday night debut against Utah. I stayed up to watch the whole game, but it was painful. Today I have loved having football on the…

    It’s been a busy couple of days! Saturday night, we went to a friend’s 30th surprise birthday party. Matt’s parents were so great to watch Lottie for Mom and Dad’s night out! On Sunday, we had church and all of the regular Sunday afternoon chores (nap included, of course! We had a huge storm roll…
