Hellobee

Hello everybody! I’ve missed you all a lot! It’s been over a year since I blogged here, and it’s been a topsy-turvy, rollercoaster of a year (for me, and everyone!). A little refresher: I’m a 29-year-old mom married to my college sweetheart. We are one-and-done parents with a now 6-year-old only daughter. We live in […]

We moved to the Toledo, OH area the last week of September to be closer to family. As longtime members of the Columbus Zoo, one of the first things we did is get a membership to the Toledo Zoo. The Toledo Zoo has become one of our favorite places to visit with Snowy, and we’ve […]

She wants to be a veterinarian and “someone who digs up dinosaur bones” (a paleontologist, but she can never remember the long word) when she grows up. I am lucky that […]

Staying at home with my daughter, Snowy, this summer is brand-new territory for me. Snowy is five and headed to kindergarten in the fall, and I am an educator who has worked as a children’s minister and in educational nonprofits. I’ve never had the chance to stay home with Snowy, but now that I do, […]

We had a big day this past week: Snowy graduated from Pre-K, had her last day at her current daycare/pre-K, and had kindergarten screening, all in the same day! Snowy started this Pre-K in late September, and she’s had a great school year there. We went with a private daycare center with full-day care for […]
