Family Life This Week: Library Night, Birthday Milestones & Baking

Between a night at the library, homeschooling, birthday milestones, and the smell of a new granola recipe, this week has been a sweet mix of normal and special moments! Cozy, rainy days set the backdrop as we marked two big milestones: Dakota turned seven months and Sadie turned seven years old!

There’s been cousin time for Sadie girl, quiet moments spent reading, and candles flickering in the background. Life lately has left me feeling joyful, reflective, and thankful for the ordinary and extraordinary moments! Here’s a look at our life lately 😊

A Day in the Life: Our Monday

I thought it would be fun to write a day in the life post (again!). I think in the spring when we have a new newborn, I will look back at these posts and think about how different life is/was. Every new stage of parenting is so special and something I’m always trying to find joy in and cherish. Here’s what my day with a six-year-old, two-year-old, and 20-some week fetus was like on Monday this week!

Jimmy’s alarm clock goes off at 5:00 am each morning. I never hear it, but I feel him get out of bed and I eventually get up once I get my bearings. We both sit in silence (ahh, silence!!) on our couches, drink coffee, and read our Bibles. Right now, I’m also working through Gospel Mom and the Gospel Mom Workbook.
