I try very hard to only post about positive things going on with us. The internet is full of major negatives everywhere you look! It’s one of the main reasons we do not have any form of social media besides our blog. It can just really get you down in the dumps. But I doContinue reading “July 2020 Wrap Up”

Can You Backpack Through Europe With Small Kids?
The short answer is yes, absolutely!! When we told people we were planning on spending 3 weeks in Europe as a family of 6 with 4 kids under 5 and nothing but 2 backpacks we got a lot of *unsolicited & mostly unhelpful* advice! Everyone was quick to tell us that we were crazy, butContinue reading “Can You Backpack Through Europe With Small Kids?”
June 2020 Wrap Up
I’m a week late, but we were finally busy again in July! Crazy busy actually. Everything seemed to start back up all at once! The twins are still taking music lessons weekly.

Destin Florida May 2020
As soon as the farm got a big rain and Florida reopened their beaches and restaurants, we were outta here! Even though it was just a quick 4 day trip, it was a much needed break from being cooped up in the house for 2 months! Especially with our travel obsessed family! Several years agoContinue reading “Destin Florida May 2020”
April 2020
Well we really didn’t do much this month… This is probably, and hopefully, the only time I will start one of these monthly updates with that sentence! COVID-19 continued to throw our plans off.

Twisted Chicken Spaghetti

I blame the mom brain? So I decided to chug right on along and make this recipe up as I went. It turned outContinue reading “Twisted Chicken Spaghetti”
Baby Rowlett #5
Humans are curious creatures by nature and I’ve already had questions so I figured I should head them off with an explanation for those of you who know us personally and were a little surprised by the news of #5! After the birth of Belle, our baby #4, we were overwhelmed. When she was bornContinue reading “Baby Rowlett #5”
Honey Oat Bread
About a month ago Andrew bought me a bread maker machine off Amazon. I originally scoffed at his purchase and left it sitting in the box in my laundry room for the past month. Finally a couple days ago I decided to search bread recipes on Pinterest and realized how easy it would be toContinue reading “Honey Oat Bread”
