Our First Harry Potter Day

Justin and I live very close to our families which means we spend all our major holidays with them.  This is absolutely wonderful, and we feel so blessed to get to experience these special moments with those we love. 

We want to make it a priority to create traditions with just our little family.  And while we are able to do that a bit with major holidays, we have actually found celebrating obscure holidays is an excellent way to build family memories.  Some of these holidays include Pi Day, Mardi Gras, Dr Suess Day, Elvis’s birthday, and of course Harry Potter Day.  We actually feel this is something really special and unique we are able to experience with our children.

This year we decided to celebrate Harry Potter day by enjoying some delicious foods mentioned in the books, making a drink potion, and making wands.  We even added floating candles this year!

    My cell phone beeps and wakes me up, an alarm that says “5:45am, Up and at them”.  I turn over and tap your shoulder. “10 minutes,” you quietly mumble and return to sleep.  After 10 minutes, I tap your warm shoulder again, to which you say “10 minutes.” “You already got your 10 minutes,” I…

  • Our Trip to Oregon

    Oregon means so much to Justin and I!  It is the first trip we took when we decided to live our dreams.  The Pacific Coast Highway, and especially the Oregon coast has the power to help us feel anything is possible.  The sixteen hour drive (each way) was filled with talk of plans, dreams, pains,…
