Edit: In light of Covid19 I reactivated all of my social media to be able to connect with everyone and stay up to date with things. I made the decision in October last year to deactivate all of my social media. My oldest son had said something like “Why are you always on your phone?” …
Call it boredom or call it indecisiveness… but I redecorate every year or 2. Or at least I have been while my “style” has been evolving. I loved the farmhouse look a few years back… but I grew out of that super fast. Then when we moved to San Diego I adapted a more modern …
So I had baby #4 eight weeks ago. On top of that it was an unplanned c-section. My body has been distorted into something I don’t even recognize anymore. I have 40 lbs to lose still, my pre pregnancy clothes do not fit me yet, my c-section scar is hidden under a massive “shelf” of …
Every year I say “this is probably the last year I can combine parties”. And every year I surprise myself. I did it again! Zayden and Kinslie were born on the same exact day 2 years apart. July 26th. This year they are turning 8 and 6… and its terrifying. But this year I did …
I wish I could tell you that I had some super awesome birth story full of beautiful natural laboring and that I was so happy that I brought a child into this world the way God and nature intended. But I didn’t. My little sister did… she is much braver then I am. I had …

I had very high expectations for this pregnancy. Like very high. I look back at my previous posts and laugh about the things I thought I would be able to accomplish. I also laugh at the fact that I thought I would buy a bunch of cute maternity clothes. The one thing I was definitely …
We finally decided to go ahead and announce baby Lloyd #4’s name! Ryatt Nathaniel Lloyd. We went back and forth on Nathaniel or Dawson as a middle name… but I was outnumbered. For the most part, people who knew the first name thought that Nathaniel flowed better. I went back and forth on if I …
Let me just start off by saying this pregnancy has NOT gone as planned. AT ALL. But I guess they never do right? I was totally convinced that with this being baby #4… I would have this down to a science. Nope. My energy was amazing the first few weeks and I was able to …
Yes! Number 4! This is something Gregg and I have debated over the last couple of years… I mean, was 4 going to be too many? Could we handle it? Would we need a bigger house? We also played with the idea of fostering or adopting. We knew we had the love to give to …
