Enough of the girls, now it is Ethan’s turn. While he is immersed in looking for a new job, his downtime includes things like gardening. He enjoys it for the sake of gardening, but also enjoys having a good place for his birds and butterflies. This year he decided to grow his own plants. It [...]

Do you think kids know how good they have it? Of course they don’t. I mean, yeah, they have to ask for permission before even getting up from the table to go to the bathroom, but they really have it good. I wish we could all enjoy days of no responsibilities, no pressure, no worries, [...]

This year didn’t bring any big trip for the Whaleys….who am I kidding? No year has brought us a big trip, but we still managed to get a few fun days out of the time off school. For us, it is just nice to not have to keep to the school schedule. And can I [...]
I don’t think it is a secret to many of you that we are not big romantics, we don’t dress up and enjoy fancy dinners, we don’t buy outlandish gifts for each other, and we don’t put much into Valentine’s Day. Even as a day to just show love, nope, Ethan doesn’t buy it. “I [...]

Life around here is not too exciting, but that is okay with us. We are simple people. We like to stay in our PJs as long as possible. We like to remain plan-less and just do what we want, when we want. We have enjoyed having Ethan around the house too. He lost his job [...]

Somewhere after 30, I began to lose track of how old I was. There was something exciting about 30 for me and I was glad to count up to it, but then 31, 32… not too much going on. I don’t really care too much about age, maybe because people have always taken me for [...]
With all of the “at home” time we have had this last week, it forced me to get the kids restarted on chores. Like most of the stuff I do, I have a very relaxed agenda when it comes to chores. Do what I tell you to do when I tell you. For the most [...]

Yep. 4! I enjoyed playing a game with Alyssa each day after we got the call about school. I would give her this somber look and say, “I’m sorry honey…. NO SCHOOL AGAIN!” I loved how excited she was each time. I definitely missed out on some normalcy this week, but the girls got to [...]

Months ago, we thought it would be so fun to surprise the girls with a trip to the Texas Great Wolf Lodge. Megan talks about it weekly and wants to know when we can go back. We planned to drive through Ft Worth after our Austin trip and stay one night. The great thing about [...]

We recently moved to Round Rock, TX. We have 3 beautiful girls, and a son in heaven. This is for those who choose to walk life next to us.
