    Fresh Baked Bread

    I love making bread! I am definitely not an expect, but I have really enjoyed trying a few different types of breads. My favorite type to make is called Artisan Bread. There are tons of different receipes online, and I have tried a couple different options. All ended up working out great, and I really…

    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…

    I love to stay up late. I have always been a night owl and never a morning person. When I know that I don’t have to wake up early the next day, I always want to stay up. I just love when all of the chores are done for the day and the house is…

    I actually love football. For a girl who is not athletic and super girlie, college football is one of my favorite things about fall (GO GATORS!!!). I have never been a huge NFL fan though. Growing up, we didn’t have a team we would really root for being from Orlando. Cheering for the Bucs is…

    Name Sweaters

    I love making name sweaters! I have always loved embroidery, and when I first saw these sweaters, I knew I would be able to recreate them. I taught myself the stitch and practiced over and over. These sweaters are great for chilly days, name reveals, monthly milestone pictures, nursery decor, and so much more! Here…

    Ughhh, moments like this are just the best. I love Lottie all the time, but the post-bath, in jammies, asleep in your arms moments are just the best! I couldn’t even gather the gumption to get up and put her in bed. I just wanted to keep snuggling her longer. I know the moments are…

    Lottie’s Book Haul

    I love children’s books! One of the things I was most excited about with having a baby was the fun books we could read together. Growing up, my mom would always let me buy books. The one rule was that she would not buy me a new book until I finished (or almost finished) what…

    I am so thankful for my church. Yesterday the power went out about fifteen minutes before our first service. Something happened, and the entire neighborhood was out. Our staff pivoted so well! Emergency lights were on, the worship band played acoustic guitar, the drums were on the Cajon, and we sang traditional songs that everyone…
