Snapshots from Kansas City 2019

In the midst of a crazy season, Hilde and I went off on our first solo trip (without dad!) and survived! Haha! My little sister is also pregnant (she is 6 weeks ahead of me!) and it is just so fun that these cousins are going to be so close together! We went out for her baby shower and had these plans way before we randomly decided to put an offer on a house. The timing was crazy, but it was good that Bruce had already planned on staying at home as he was needed for inspections and appraisals!

Anyways, the girls flew out to Kansas City and spent some quality time with grandma and aunties and it was so fun. I took a lot of photos on the trip so I wanted to make sure to get in a Snapshots post to share them all with you. Or maybe mostly just so that I can look back on my old posts for my memories!

PS: Don’t miss this post from the Louisburg Cider Mill on this trip too!

DAY ONE

The first day we went to The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Becca still had to work that day so my mom, my sister Sarah, Hilde, and I went on our own adventures. I’ve been here before in the fall (apparently 4 years ago) and I was sad that all the trees had not changed yet! Haha. But the green was still beautiful!

DAY TWO

Day two was technically the Cider Mill but I already did a blog post on that. So now day 3 is day 2 and that was the baby shower! We took a “kissing cousins” picture because we are funny like that! haha. It was so special to be there for Becca and gather with her Kansas City family as we celebrate the baby!

DAY THREE

We found an apple festival to go to (yay fall!) and I bought all the apple things. AKA apple cider and a delicious apple dumpling! We ate lunch at this adorable eatery called Green Dirt Farm! I always love trying out new places when traveling. I have a rule to only eat at places I cannot eat at home. It makes us try new things and experience what makes the area unique!

My goal is to post more of the photos I take throughout the year because I love to look back on them. I went through a season of not posting things – partially because I had a newborn and partially because I felt so pressured to stay “on brand” and create “perfect content.” I’m over that. If you follow this blog, you are going to get some real and some memories in the midst of my tips & advice. I hope you like it!!

You guys know how much I love photo projects and h You guys know how much I love photo projects and how I love filling our home with my favorite photos so you should not be surprised by this post 😜 I love @ArtifactUprising and I've done several photo projects with them over the years, so when I saw this calendar I thought it would be a perfect addition for the new year to bring joy to 2021! πŸ₯‚ It is the prettiest photo calendar that I ever did see! Just hung this baby up in our dinning room and I have to say, this room is about complete. Like complete complete! It even has baseboards! Maybe we will even get baseboards up in all the rooms this year πŸ˜‚ More on that later, but if you are in love with this calendar as much as I am, use code OAKS15 to save 15% on your order at #ArtifactUprising!Β πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

Oh hey guys it's me! I've been in and out of Insta Oh hey guys it's me! I've been in and out of Instagram lately. A couple months ago I deleted Instagram from my phone for a little break. And I keep doing it because it is so nice. Sometimes I delete the app but still have photos post because they are scheduled and now you know my little secret πŸ˜‰ ⁠
⁠
But really, I just took another break and while I am committed to this place because it holds so many of my memories, I'm not like super addicted to it (which is really a healthy place to be!) HAHA. ⁠
⁠
I'm realizing I don't have unlimited time to post and share all the things I want to and so when I do have time, I want to spend more time of it creating blog posts and less time scrolling IG. It's not you, it's me! HAHA. If you want to to keep hearing from me, make sure you are subscribed to our emails!! Link in bio and also stories!
