Thanks for stopping by!
We are a husband and wife, trying to navigate life, parenthood, and now adding blogging to this crazy mix. Some articles are written by me (Jocelyn), some will be written by my husband (Eric), and some will have a version of the story we would both like to share. Our goal is to share our lives with you while sharing information about parenting, recipes and DIY projects, life and everything in-between.
