We & Serendipity

This year started off, well, extremely rocky. And, it continued. This was a very hard year. I feel like most people are ending the new year with a 'bang' with all of the amazing things they have accomplished. Though I've accomplished some awesome things, and I even had the opportunity …

Growing up, my family never took me black friday shopping. My parents aren't huge fans of major crowds and crazy people...come to think of it, I'm not a fan either. I went Black Friday shopping one year with my two best friends, and won a couple of gift cards. It was fun! The next year, I …

I am so behind on posting! For Halloween, this year, we spent time with family and some friends. We carved pumpkins and dressed up EXTREMELY creepily. Side note: I hate carving pumpkins. So bad. I don’t know if it’s just me, but my hands get huge rashes on them and they burn for days. So this year,…

so i am a prankster. every year, i feel like i get in trouble for some sort of prank. a couple of years ago, my room mate & i put orajel on my other room mates toothbrush. (that stuff makes your mouth go numb for about 20 minutes). they hated it. they were so mad at me for the rest of the week…

i think it's safe to say i got spoiled this christmas. i got a dslr camera, tilly's goodness, clothes, & much more. trevor got a helicopter, a hanggliding lesson, an iphone, and little things in between. more importantly, i got to ponder all about Christ. i think most of us fail to do …

this is my first year giving neighbor gifts.  if you know my mom...you know that  she is one of the most thoughtful people ever.  every year, she bakes for hours and hours & days and days... all for her neighbors. she makes caramels that are to die for.  i decided to incorporate this tradition…

growing up, our family had many traditions. one of my favorites was "12 days of christmas."

i was surprised to hear that not many people have heard of it.  we would leave something on someone's doorstep, doorbell ditch them, & run our faces off, every night for 12 nights until chr…

i had a fabulous weekend.  i got to meet my 1 month old nephew. his name is bentley. and he is the cutest thing in the world. he makes me baby hungry. refrain. refrain.


thanksgiving was awesome. we all got together and had a grand ol' time.  minus my brother and nephew. we definitely missed the…

sometimes, i think this sharing money thing is silly. clearly, my husband is the bread winner.  and we have a joint bank account. i go buy him presents..because i don't make enough. with his money. so technically, he is paying for his own gifts. ha. he always says,  "my money is your mone…

i am speechless after looking at the photos  of mr. schroeder and i on halloween night.
so i will leave you with..the photos. 




i  hope your guys' halloween was fabulous.
