The Unofficial End of Summer

September 08, 2020/ Meredith Gadoury

We have had quite an exciting week over here. After five and a half long months, the girls have returned to school. Last Monday, Macie started Kindergarten and Henley started Second Grade.

I'm Three!

March 01, 2018/ Meredith Gadoury

es it is! Today is Macie's 3rd birthday. I think the one thing that surprises me most about parenthood is how fast it all goes. While I am a little sad the baby phase is over, I think three is where it gets really fun. The things they say and do are hilarious and so fun, most of the time. (for example, last week Macie told me I was "really rude" because I

Room Sharing to Solve It All?

August 23, 2017/ Meredith Gadoury

We have had a routine over the last few weeks that has looked a little like this. I lay with Henley in her bed until she falls asleep. I hear blood curdling screams for “Maaamaaaa” around midnight, go to her room and bring her back in our bed until morning. Around 6am Macie joins the crew and we are all snuggled into bed until around 7am. One night of this wouldn’t be bad, a few periodic nights of this is manageable. Every night like this is not okay.

Macie's Floating

May 16, 2017/ Meredith Gadoury

“Macie’s floating!” our neighbor’s oldest boy yells from the pool with excitement, even surprise. I’m blowing up a giant pool slide for the kids when I hear this and it takes about three seconds for my brain to process what he has said.

Macie is TWO!

March 01, 2017/ Mere

I cannot believe it but today is Macie's second birthday! These last two years have flow by but in the same breath it feels like Macie has always been a part of our family. We've been doing a lot of celebrating this week for her, I like to make their birthdays special and this one was no exception.

Valentine Cuties

February 04, 2017/ Mere

In an effort to keep working on being more creative this year, I decided to have a little photoshoot with the girls. I found these adorable dresses at Old Navy and thought they would be perfect for Valentine pictures. My plan was to take the girls to the park with a few Valentine props to get some cute pictures. After nap we loaded everyone up and headed to the place I was thinking.

The Season of Colic

January 30, 2017/ Mere

I sat in my hospital bed, sore and lonely. I was nursing my beautiful new baby, yet again, through the pain. I have been here before, I shouldn't have been surprised by the pain. She was crying and inconsolable and I was overwhelmed. My eyes were puffy from crying, I could feel it.

All In A Touch

January 28, 2017/ Mere

When my husband and I were engaged to be married, a family friend who would be our wedding officiant recommended a book for us to read titled "The 5 Love Languages". This book started out by explaining how everyone gives and receives love in different ways such as personal touch or quality time. The author then described the different love

First Snow

January 15, 2017/ Mere

I've mentioned that we are in Virginia this weekend visiting family. We really hoped we would get to see snow since the girls have never seen it being from Florida and all. It doesn't look like we are going to see snow falling but we were able to go to a mountain and play in it. We went to Whitetail Resort in Mercersburg, PA, about an hour from my in-laws and the girls did some tubing.

She kept eating the snow, I normally wouldn't have cared but it was dirty!

The snow pants were almost too much for me to bear, almost feel the need to plan something else cold so the girls have an opportunity to wear it again.

Hope you are having a nice, relaxing Sunday. We definitely are.
