Life Lately

 Hello! Hello! 

I'm not sure why but I don't think I'll ever fully quit this blog. You see if I had my way, I'd get in a time machine and go back to 2013. Kamryn and Logan were toddlers. Kensington was born in 2014, Tenley in 2016 and then Smith in 2019. I'd just really really love to live the twenty teens all over again. Back then I blogged a lot, I read a lot of blogs and motherhood and the world in general just felt different. Anyone else feel like ever since 2020 it's like everything just shifted? I won't get into my conspiracy theories (LOL!) but really, if I had my way I'd go back 13 years and then skip 2020-2021 and I think we'd be all set. It would just reset everything back to normal. Maybe? Hopefully! 

But since that isn't possible, here we are. Living in what feels like a totally different reality than we had a decade ago... Only in this one, I have my Archie.

Let's do a little life lately...and what we've been up to.

Tenley turned TEN! She kept calling it her "diamond birthday" because she has "ten" in her name!

If you haven't heard, we had a pinhole leak that started in our upstairs shower and made its way down into the main bathroom and then down into our garage. Leaving us with a huge mess! This seemingly tiny leak did a lot more damage than we anticipated and we had to demo everything. It's going to take a while to build it back, as we're planning to do most of it ourselves, but there is a silver lining... It's making us tackle some overdo updates! We had to take out the wall between the bathroom and kitchen so we're going all in! Because why just redo your bathroom when you can also update your kitchen?!

It's been a family affair! I don't have many pictures, but my dad and Zack have been helping too!

We had to rip out everything fast while we had rented a dumpster, so we'll be living in a construction zone for a bit while we do this on weekends and weeknights. You know with all that spare time that people with 6 kids have. LOL! I'm sure it'll be frustrating, but I know it'll all be worth it when it's done. I'll try to keep you updated as we go.

The weather finally turned and we've been enjoying a lot of time outside. Perfect timing since our house has been turned upside down. Archie is BUSY so I don't see much laying out for me this summer as I'll be chasing him around, but he really really loves being outside so it'll be fun.

The kids get out of school today for spring break and we are really excited for a chill week and even sleeping in for a few days. :) Other than that, we don't have much planned. Which is TOTALLY FINE with me!! 

Happy Friday!!
