Summer Recap, and things I love…

September 25, 2017 by Bethany Sy

Y’all, it’s been an amazing summer! We’ve gotten really good at protecting our schedule and family time (especially in the summers), and have learned to say NO to almost everything. One of my favorite Jen Hatmaker quotes is ‘if it’s not a Hell Yes, it’s a solid NO’. Words to live by. Things that we DID say ‘Hell Yes’ to this summer, included our annual family camping trip (you can read about ... [ Read More ]

The Twins are Six!!!

July 25, 2017 by Bethany Sy

When I was growing up, all I ever wanted to be was a mommy. And since I have SO MANY brothers and sisters (my parents really like each other), I never in a million years dreamed that I would find myself in the trenches of infertility. (our full infertility story is here) They were the darkest and most painful days of my life, and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. And even now, 6 years later, I ... [ Read More ]

Annual Fam Camping 2017

July 13, 2017 by Bethany Sy

It’s become a bit of a tradition to share our annual family camping adventures here on the blog! I have to admit, after last summer’s camping trip where I unknowingly get a little cozy with a deer tick, and was infected with Lyme Disease, I wasn’t quite as excited to pitch a tent in the wilderness this summer. I have this mama-bear quality where I fiercely want to protect my littles from danger. ... [ Read More ]

Tips for Taking Littles out to a Restaurant! (& live to tell the tale)

March 15, 2017 by Bethany Sy

Taking children out in public can be tricky business. They’re unpredictable. And no matter how awesome we are at parenting, our kids can quickly turn into wild beasts and there’s nothing we can do about it. But even though we don’t eat out very often, I’ve learned a LOT of things that can make it less chaotic and prevent potential catastrophes. Because mama needs to GET OUT OF THE HOUSE sometimes. ...

Lately…

January 20, 2017 by Bethany Sy

It’s been awhile since I’ve shared some behind-the-scenes action of the chaos in our lives. It’s beautiful, often high-pitched chaos. And we love every second. If you’re wondering if that’s one of our giant pumpkins covered in snow in the background, you’re absolutely correct. I affirm your curiosity. The twins are old enough now that they understand that money has value, and they want ... [ Read More ]

Unexpected Pumpkins

October 5, 2016 by Bethany Sy

After publicly announcing that we suck at gardening (or should I say WEEDING the garden) we proceeded to not do a very good job of keeping you updated on our efforts this summer. We love planning out our garden and mapping what goes where every spring. And we plant and water and nurture… blah blah blah. But the romance dies as fast as the weeds grow. However this year I’m proud to say the ... [ Read More ]

Annual Fam Camping 2016

September 14, 2016 by Bethany Sy

I’ve had so many projects to document and share lately, I almost forgot to write a post about our annual camping trip that my family takes each year. *This post contains affiliate links* My parents, all the siblings (7 to be exact) and their spouses/children have been at this tradition for 10+ years. Each year, there’s either a new baby or a new family member via a younger sibling getting ... [ Read More ]

The Twins are 5!

August 2, 2016 by Bethany Sy

A few weeks have passed, and I realized I never really documented the girls’ Birthday! These precious girls made me a mommy 5 years ago via whirlwind C-section. And our lives have never been the same. (you can read all about our Fertility Story, and watch the video we made to announce our pregnancy if you so desire). I know a lot of you readers have been around our little blog for yearrrrs ... [ Read More ]

Clear your schedule…

July 25, 2016 by Bethany Sy

I’ve been quiet, both here on the blog and in real life. After a week of weird symptoms, urgent care, ER visits, and a myriad of tests… we finally have some answers. I’m not sure how dramatic to be about it, because there is a lot of conflicting information out there, but I have Lyme’s Disease. And it totally sucks. I’m have no idea what to expect in the coming weeks, so I don’t know how ... [ Read More ]

Monster Toss Yard Game

June 13, 2016 by Bethany Sy

Nick and I love to entertain, especially in the summer. We’re pretty casual about it though… no twinkle lights and fancy mixed drinks with beautiful tablescapes. Just us and some wide open space and good conversation. Playing corn hole, ladder golf, or throwing a frisbee are always good outdoor entertainment when we’re barbequing with friends. And we’re always on the lookout for fun ideas that ... [ Read More ]
