Leland’s Birth Story Part. 2

Read Part One here!! I tried everything to get labor to start. I had done this once before, I knew the signs but that didn’t keep me googling everything and anything. I wanted another natural birth. I wanted control of the situation. Well, days and days went by past my due date and the doctors...

    Leland’s Birth Story | Part. 1

      I carried our son for 41 weeks and 2 days. And those final weeks broke me but in the best way possible. I worked as a K4 teacher almost my entire pregnancy. Towards the end of my pregnancy I started putting together all my plans for Kylie’s care and my maternity leave. And this...

      Life Update | Personal

      The blog has been a little bit quiet lately and that is because our son FINALLY arrived and our life has been a little bit of a whirlwind since. Here is a little life update on our lives and our future! Once upon a time I was a K4 teacher, well like 3 months ago....

        Lion-Themed Nursery | Leland’s Nursery

        We are still waiting on our little boy! (He is a few days late, right now). So, I figured I would go ahead and share some pictures of Leland’s lion-themed nursery! When we had Kylie, we decided on an elephant-themed nursery. Elephants are cute, strong, wise, and support their friends (herd) in times of need....

            Our Son’s Name | Personal

            When we had our daughter we publicly shared her name, as soon as we knew she was a girl! We had Kylie’s name picked out for years. We knew if we had a girl, her name would be Kylie Marie Gordon. We liked the name Kylie and Marie is now a 4th generational middle name....

              Teaching K4 | Personal

              Last week, I finished my last week of teaching. These past several months I have been teaching K4 at Calvary Classical School in Hampton, VA. I haven’t shared to much about  my teaching experience. During the Fall, we were so busy with weddings and family sessions that I never thought about sharing about it.  This...

                  Preserving Stories | Personal

                  I have recently been working on a long and tedious project at work-oral histories. The museum I work at is collecting oral histories from local Navy veterans who served in Vietnam. I have not had the pleasure of being a part of the interview and recording, but I have been transcribing them. I have been...

                    Kylie’s Birth Story | Personal

                    A month has already passed and I haven’t had a chance to write down this birth story. Although, if I’m honest with myself I have had moments where I could have chosen to do this, but instead I chose laundry, dishes, or just resting over thinking through Kylie’s birth. Kylie was born on Friday, November...
