Bermuda, Bahama, Come on Pretty Mama. Key Largo, MONTEGO, Baby why don't we go...

On Thursday Justin and I will leave early in the morning for Minnesconsin.  We hope to arrive in Osceola by about 6:00 p.m. and get our puppy settled in at the Wisconsin Mederichs.  Very early Friday morning we will begin our two-flight journey to Montego Bay, Jamaica.  Barring any major problems along the way, we should be on the beach by 3:00 p.m.  I can't wait!  We are definitely ready for this vacation.  I'm glad that our good friends, Jack and Stephanie, decided to have a destination wedding, because it is the perfect excuse to get away!  Getting through three days of work this week will be tough, because I'm definitely in vacation mode, but I have a lot to get done between now and Thursday morning. 

Once again I feel my crochet skills have improved over the course of this week.  Using one of the books that Grandma Sylvia sent, I tried my hand at following my first pattern.  Previously I had just been using youtube tutorials, but I have to learn how to read these patterns so that I can make that cupcake hat!  My little cupcake will be here in about nine weeks!  The hat doesn't look as good as some of the other ones that I've done, but it was technically more difficult and I learned a lot by following the pattern.  See below for pictures of the hat, as well as pictures of me and my family with our "We're Excited For Vacation" faces (aka awkward family photos).

Be blessed, friends!

    I think Mila is excited because she gets to stay with the Wisconsin Mederichs! And baby Sylvia is excited because she gets to hear the love from both sets of grandparents! P.S. Your hat is FABULOUS!!!

Moon Palace Cancun Nizuc - 5 Things I LOVED, and 3 Things I didn't

All-Inclusive vacations may not be everyone's cup of tea, but over the past 6 years I have developed an appreciation (addiction) for taking a vacation where I don't really have to think much.  Between the demands of marriage, parenting, career, housework, and kids activities, it is really nice to pay a sum of money for your vacation and then just......enjoy!  Many all-inclusive resorts include more than just food and beverage.  There is often entertainment, activities, childcare, fitness classes, and plenty to keep you busy without leaving the property or spending additional money.  If you like, you can also book excursions or explore the local area at an extra expense.  We have rarely opted to do anything extra as we are typically happy to take advantage of the included options.   Listen, in my experience, you get what you pay for with, well, almost everything.  And that goes for all-inclusive resorts.  We have gone low-end, mid-range, and h...

Our Creator is not a Careless Mechanic

On Friday, November 2, Justin and I headed to our 41 week and 1 day checkup.  I had been having consistently inconsistent contractions for days, but.......Still.No.Baby.  My doctor wanted to monitor me and Via for half an hour and was looking for us to score 10 out of 10 points.  After half an hour of monitoring us she only found 6 points - also my blood pressure was much higher than it had been during the rest of my pregnancy.  Justin and I listened as she explained that the placenta may not be doing the best job for the baby anymore.  She looked at me and said, "If you were the type of mom that was planning to have an epidural, then I'd say let's go to the hospital, put you on pitocin, and have this baby."  She went on to say that since we favored a drug-free approach we had two options: 1.  Go to the hospital and be monitored for 24 hours to see if we could make up the 4 points we were missing.  If all looked good, then we could go ...

Sun Palace - July 2022

We are on our way home from our 6th Annual Away and it occurred to me that I take the fewest pictures on these trips. I don’t use or look at my phone very much because I like to unplug as much as possible and do “perfect day” activities. That means fewer pictures, but usually more enjoyment.  I think it’s a fun game to explore what would make up an individual’s perfect day. Once you have figured out what a perfect day looks like you can incorporate those types of moments and activities into more of your regular days. For example, my perfect day consists of going for a walk and seeing the beach. I can’t do a beach walk every day, but almost any day I can go for a regular walk and enjoy fresh air and a mental reset. I can create a “perfect day moment.” I have had a lot of perfect day moments the last 5 days and 4 nights at Sun Palace, but notably missing was time with my kids. Therefore, I can’t wait to get home! We arrived to Sun Palace on a Wednesday. Our good friends had been ther...
