Hi Friends! June 21st marked 19 years for my little corner of the internet here! So I am celebrating my Blogaversary! Woohoo!
First and foremost, I want to thank YOU for visiting...for your support over the years...your comments and private emails...I appreciate them all and I love this community and wonderful friends I have made over the last 19 years here. I would say my strongest community here has actually come from the last 7/8 years really...
Since I started writing this blog, so much has changed and developed in our lives. We started out as a blended family- Rob, three kids and me the wife and stepmom. We had Bambi, our English Bulldog, and we lived on the other side of town.
Then, Diana was born. She was the magic that brought us even closer together.
We have changed jobs and moved across town to our dream home with my in-laws.
We later added Eva to our family and our family was complete!
Later on, we adopted Remi and he has brought so much joy to our lives.
We lost my My Mother In Law and we have been through heart-wrenching and stressful times but most of our days have been beautiful and I have tried to capture it all and be as real as possible on this little blog.
I thank you for following along :)
My very first post was about graduations- Ally's 8th Grade Graduation and Kayla's High School Graduation- our family has changed so much since then!
Here are my most visited posts from the last 19 years...buckle up shall we?

Happy Blogaversary! I am so glad I discovered your blog, I love following along with you and your family. Thank you for sharing!
Aww! Congrats to 19 years!! How wonderful to have your blog to look back at posts and pictures as you've chronicled the past nineteen years. Soooo many changes, additions, sadness, wonderful times, etc. Love following along and like how you keep it real yet positive, too. You are an inspiration to living life to the fullest with fun, grace, humor and the best ability to wear many hats and make it somehow seem not just doable but easy!! I've never met anyone from NH but I feel like I "know" you and love how blogging brings people together from all over.
Congratulations to you! I'm so glad we "met" through our blogs. I just realized over the weekend that my blog turns 20 this year! My life is so different now than it was then that it's unrecognizable...but I'm okay with this and grateful to be where/who I am today. Happy Tuesday, friend!
Aww thank you Kim! So glad I found you and yours :)
I feel like we are besties Maria! Thank you so much for following along and for always being a source of support :)
Amen Jenn! So glad we found each other and we can support each other from afar :)
Aw, what a fun look back! Happy 19 years to you!!
And I think I've been reading for 17 of those 19 years, haha!! Congrats, and thank you for sharing your lives with us. Even though I don't comment often, I still feel like I know you so well, lol!!
O happy blog anniversary! I loved this throwback and love your blog! Thanks for being a dear blog friend, one who I admire in so many ways!
Happy Blogaversary Holly! I only discovered your blog after I retired in 2021 (and then we started our own blog in late 2022). It's been so fun to read your blog during the past few years as you and your daughters and all you experience bring so many of my own memories to the surface! Here's to many more years of blogging!
Congratulations! So many memories on these blog pages!
Thank you Joanne!
