    Blog Every Day September Challenge, Day 4

      Day 4 (Wednesday) : What has been your favorite blog post you have ever written? (Leave a link so we can go check it out.) Both birth stories of my children are on top of my list, however I think Bubby’s tops the charts. Not because it meant more or for any other reason than because I got the birth I wanted. Boogie’s birth was nothing like I had planned, my water broke and nothing happened… so I was then induced and the pain was horrible. I ended up with an epidural and my recovery was slow going because of that. The outcome was pretty fantastic though, my sweet girl…

    Blog Every Day September Challenge, Day 3

      Day 3 (Tuesday) : Why did you start blogging? I started this blog in April of 2008, just a little less than a year after we got married. We were getting ready to move to Tennessee and I wanted to document our lives for our friends and family back home. It was off and on from then on, I wrote a lot more once we conceived Boogie, if you look back you’ll find LOTS of posts about her! Since then it’s been about documenting our lives, adventures, trips, and pretty much everything we do for our kids. I love that I can also have the opportunity to review products…

    Blog Every Day September Challenge, Day 2

      Day 2 (Monday): What is your favorite season? Why? I LOVE Autumn. I live in the mountains, so around the middle or end of September the leaves on the trees start changing. It’s absolutely breathtaking! The weather gets cooler, the air is crisp, the bugs go away (for the most part)… it’s fabulous! J’s favorite holiday is Halloween, he loves getting dressed up and having Halloween movie marathons, so now that we are parents his love for the holiday has tripled! We are planning a party for the four of us, I know Boogie will have a blast! We are also planning a trip to an apple orchard, buying…

    Blog Every Day September Challenge, Day 1

      Day 1 (Sunday): Give me your life story in 300 words or less. I was born and raised in a small town in Western North Carolina, I had one younger brother and a HUGE extended family. I met and started dating my husband (who was actually an old school mate) in 2006, during my senior year of high school and we were engaged exactly one year later. We got married in September of 2007 and have had an incredible adventure during our lives together. I worked at a law firm as a receptionist, in a child care center during the summers, at a cabin rental company when we moved…
