Sharing photos from our annual trip to Celebrity Dairy’s Open Barn days. This is the 4th year we’ve attended! The kids love the goats, mama loves the soup and gelato. Look here for our first visit to Celebrity Dairy or here for another year’s visit. Our babies were babies, and there was only one, and […]

January Raleigh Adventures in Photos
Trying to be better about sharing not just our bigger adventures away, but little adventures around our actual home, and our home city. Few things bring me more joy than photographing and adventuring with these kids lately. Enjoy! Pretending that we live at Oak View County Park, a favorite spot of ours. Butternut, squash and […]
Raleigh’s First Snow!
I know how much joy the beach brings my family, but never did I anticipate just how happy two snow days could make them. Even me, a hot weather gal, was elated for this yea’rs first snow. Perhaps it was because it happened at a perfect time, just before Christmas (so festive!) and not at […]
Beaufort, NC + a quick note
I started this post months ago and was tempted to skip over it and get right to all the exciting changes our family has experienced the past few months to catch you all up. But then I realized I always do that! It would be remiss to act like our annual blissful summer in the […]
Finally a trip to Ocracoke Island
What feels like eons ago (pre-kids) my best friend Emily and I planned this epic camping trip to explore Ocracoke Island. Around that time a tropical storm (or maybe it was a hurricane) was brewing in the Atlantic, planning to make landfall on the North Carolina Coast. Not intimated by this fact at all, I stuck […]
March & April-a few highlights
A few highlights from the past month while we excitedly anticipate summer adventures! Peaceful Play at Prairie Ridge EcoStation, (more on this below.) NCMA’s Art in Bloom…this year didn’t disappoint. Do we have a new tradition mom? A weekend away (sans kids!) in Oriental, NC The smallest carrot cakes for Easter. Shrimp and spinach pizza al […]
Signs of spring at the Arboretum
Let the pictures speak for themselves-spring is nearly here. While it was bright, blistery and cold (41 degrees to be exact) at the JC Raulston Arboretum this morning, shades of pink, red, and purple could be found all over the grounds. Of my favorite are the Japanese Magnolia trees. After these bloom, the peonies, dogwoods, […]
Billiards and Bluefish
It’s snowing now – and for the second time already this year! It’s nice to look at it but I’m over the cold weather already. Actually, I was over it before it even started, but I’m wearing my best poker face for the girls. They don’t seem to mind the cold at all. Every winter, […]
Birthdays in Brevard
The only year we’ve missed our annual fall trip to the mountains was when Grace was in my belly waiting to make her debut. She was four days late and we totally could have made it! Perhaps the change in elevation would have sent me into labor though. Typically, we are in the Banner Elk/Boone […]
