I mean, we know it too, but it means even more when his character shines through even when mom and dad aren't watching. We love you so much "Puppy!"

The start of a new school year has always felt lik The start of a new school year has always felt like more of a “New Years” to me than January 1st ever did. The air starts getting more crisp (thank goodness), the leaves start to change, and the house is quieter (now that the kids are in school, and just during the day, ha). 

Every year around this time I can clearly look back and see how our family has changed. Last year, we had just said goodbye to the boys (our first foster placement) and our family was making sense of the whirlwind that had just happened over the summer. This year, David is way more into soccer, Evy is telling me about the conversations the girls at school are having (she’s a huge people-watcher), and of course Cleo is getting so big! Her first two teeth made their appearance this week and we’re also pretty sure she said “Dada” the other night. 

It really goes by so fast. But little memories like the ones in these photos will last. I remember going apple picking with sweet family friends as a kid and I love doing that for our kids now. 

What traditions have you tried to pass down to your kids?
Evy has always been very much a Mommy's girl. Sinc Evy has always been very much a Mommy's girl. Since she's been a baby, I've been learning that she needs love in a very different way than David does. After school and before bed, she especially needs all the love, attention, and cuddles. 

Today I had a pretty hard day with several hours of intensive Zoom calls. They ended right as the kids got home from school and when I was done, I just felt this deep exhaustion and wanted nothing more than to cuddle with my kids and never look at a computer again 🤪. 

I realized that's probably how Evy (and David, but mostly Evy) typically feels after a long day. I can tell that it's especially draining for her. So I was reminded to be extra gentle with her emotions, especially on school days when there's just so much going on and it can feel pretty intense, especially at that age. And especially to us introverts 🫠 Anyone else have highly emotional kiddos?
My phone rang this morning just as we were pulling My phone rang this morning just as we were pulling away from dropping the kids at school. A little baby needed a home until his adoptive family could come get him. 

At the time, we didn’t know his name, his gender, or anything about him. We were told he was healthy and we’d get more details later.

And we said yes! We thought it would be longer but his adoptive family is BOOKING it to get here and take him home forever. He will be so loved!!

I love that we get to share moments like these with our kids. I know they’ll remember them for a looong time to come.
Sometimes I just need to remind myself that not ev Sometimes I just need to remind myself that not every moment needs to be filled with productivity. And sometimes I don't need to multitask. Easier said than done for me anyway. But I'm trying to intentionally practice slowing down. How do you try to slow down?

Doing fun hairstyles with Ev has been a new way for us to bond, especially since Cleo's joined us. Would you try this one??
I'm working to adjust my mindset from thinking I n I'm working to adjust my mindset from thinking I need to rush while the baby's asleep to get things done to rather bringing them along with me when I can. 

Cleo loves being worn and, for the time being, is super content just watching me unload the dishwasher, make dinner, or tag along to grab Evy and David from the bus. 

And I'm way more at peace when I don't feel like I need to rush or time is running out. We have time and most things we have to do in a day aren't urgent.

20 Fun questions that will tell you more about your significant other

This bunch of questions can be used just for fun on a long car ride or if you find yourself with nothing to talk about.

This bunch of questions can be used just for fun on a long car ride or if you find yourself with nothing to talk about. (Also check out Random Questions to ask your Significant other when you’re extremely Bored). But the purpose of these is to learn a little more than you knew before. Take time to think about the answers to these and how they may relate to character and personality. You may learn a thing or two you didn’t know before!

1. If/when you retire, would you rather live in a cozy cabin in the mountains or a sunny beach home?

2. Which sounds like the best dinner:

  • Steak and potatoes
  • Pad Thai
  • Lasagna
  • A fresh and nutritious salad
  • Breakfast

3. Would you rather donate to charity or go and serve those in need yourself?

4. What are you more likely to do to show your significant other love?

  • Clean the whole house
  • Write a love note
  • Buy them a special gift
  • Plan a fun date night
  • Give a great foot massage

5. When traveling, would you rather drive with no stops and get to your destination as soon as possible or would you rather find attractions and explore new things along the way?

6. Would you rather spend the rest of your life living in/near your home town close to friends and family? Or move to a brand new place and start a new adventure?

7. Do you usually find yourself restless when there’s nothing to do or relaxed and content?

8. When going to the beach, are you more likely to shed the clothes and let loose? Or keep your shirt on until you get in the water?

9. Around how much time does it take you to get ready in the morning?

  • About 15 minutes or less
  • About ½ hour
  • About an hour.
  • 2 hours or more.

1o. Would you rather wear boots or flip flops for the rest of your life?

11. When someone is telling you a story, do you usually find yourself asking questions or wishing they would jump to the point?

12. To you, is it worse to be scatterbrained or stuck in your ways?

13. Would you rather spend your entire work day in meetings? Or in a coffee shop researching a new project?

14. Do you usually respond rapidly to text messages or take time to think about you’d like to say, responding a few minutes or even hours later?

15. Do you enjoy making lists?

16. Which annoys you more:

  • Having to spend all day cleaning?
  • Or a messy home?

17. Which sounds more fun?

  • Creating something like a craft, painting, home decor project, etc.
  • Gaming with or without friends?

18. If you could own any type of small business, what would it be?

19. If you had no technology for an entire day (ie. cell phone, computer, tablet, etc.) what would you choose to do with the extra time?

20. When leaving a social gathering, do you feel recharged or exhausted?

Any suggestions? I’d love to hear your own telling questions in the comments below!

  • So I know the title of this post says, “What men want most in a wife,” but to be more realistic, this is about what men need most in a wife. Like men, there are a lot of things that we (women) would really like in a husband. Like, it’d be a huge plus if he looked like Chris Hemsworth. But that’s not really what we need in order to have a positive relationship with our spouse. If we married him, we probably think he’s pretty cute, anyway.
