We love birthdays around here. We talk about your day all month and purposefully celebrate you all day long, unless you’re Kyndal and then we celebrate all month, minus 1 day, which just happens to be my birthday. All jokes aside, A birthday is special because it’s a unique celebration of an individual’s existence, marking […]

It’s been a minute since I’ve written anything on my blog and that’s directly related to having my right hand knuckle replacement surgery. While that’s a 2.0 post in the making, it is what’s prevented me from sharing things for the last several weeks. The good news is my right hand is better than it

It’s been an odd Christmas over at the Barksdales. Normally, Christmas music blares from November 1st – the end of the year, and decorations start going up about the same time, but the tree decorations happen whenever Kyndal comes home before Thanksgiving. Typically, we watch all the Hallmark movies and do countless other Christmas-related activities.
I’ve had a little “free time” and created an Amazon favorites, aka Stocking Stuffers, list to share. Everything on this list has either been purchased/loved by one of us or is on a current list. It was fun for me to go through all of the past purchases from Amazon to see what I should
