  • Thanks @ittybittypie for the lovely strawberry-rhubarb pies you made for our shower this past weekend! ❤️ So yummy AND adorable! #niagara #ittybittypiecompany
  • New Blog - On growing older. {Link in bio} Yes. It’s almost the big birthday. For a long time I’ve said I didn’t want to celebrate or acknowledge this milestone. But then, this past year happened. The year of all the things. Happy things, full of joy and celebrations – and then the hard days that almost ripped my heart out. What a mess of life it’s been. But, I realized that I was being selfish. Growing older is a GIFT, no matter what the days hold. And, I’ll take the gift of time for as long as I have
  • New Blog -The Middle of Joy & Pain {Link in bio} We had a wonderful celebration this past weekend - and I was reminded again about the middle places between joy and grief. I think I live there now, it’s pretty much my home. Happy and sad. Past and the future. The joys of life, mixed with all the hard things. In the middle of my immense joy, I also feel deep grief. But, I keep on balancing and making my way across that shaky rope. The middle. The tightrope. The balancing. By grace, that’s the space we often have
  • Guys. I’m literally a raspberry farmer now. ‍
  • Oh Annie! It was so great to have you here the last couple months. I couldn’t be happier that you are joining our family. I’ll miss our morning hugs, popcorn parties, sunburn recovery, the way you say “buttons”, your special pretzels, intense phase 10 nights, Niagara adventures, your unsweetened tea (yuck), and so many other fun memories. I’m also sorry you had to see me working each morning in my ratty pj’s. (I did try to shower before you got up!) You are lovely, kind, sweet and adorable - and we love you so much! Next stop, Kansas wedding! #bonusdaughter
  • Had a lovely little parking lot covid-style wedding shower celebration today for @noahcalcagno and @annemarie_allen97 So excited for them, and grateful for everyone who came out to show love and support! Look out Kansas! The countdown is on!
