2025 Notes and Thoughts

What a year! In 2025, we became a family of five! I also wrote and published a book, baked a whole bunch, and continued to homeschool Sadie. In between it all, we traveled a little, worked on potty training Mordecai, dealt with Dakota’s hemangioma and constant ear infections, and simply lived life!

Celebrating Mordecai’s Third Birthday

It’s still hard for me to believe that Mordecai is three years old now! I feel like we just brought our baby boy home and here we are with a toddler who talks nonstop, loves to build Hot Wheels tracks with his daddy, and is always asking to help mom bake in the kitchen.

He is the sweetest little guy and loves to snuggle. If we ever have another son, I hope he’s just like Mordecai 🥹
