About our blog

This blog began as an attempt to keep our family and friends included in the adventures of little Baby Blakely until he made his appearance in the world. Now, this has become a gathering place for all of our various adventures as we continue to enjoy time as a growing family.

Blogs we love

We are a reading family and when we can get our hands on authors who regularly push out creative stuff, we tend to dive in headfirst. Here's a list of some of our favorites authors and friends from around the web:

The Lunchbox Diaries: Colleen is a really fun blogger with a great voice. She writes about all sorts of real world things and doesn't shy away from tough topics like body image, food, and the pitfalls of growing up. It also helps that she's a Longwood alum!

Fit with Farrar: Lindsay and Tim have a great side business working with the good folks in The local area on their personal fitness. They are knowledgeable and dedicated while being realistic about the every day realities of life. They have some great advice on their blog!

The Wesley Bros: Charlie is a fellow Deacon in the Methodist Church like Lyndsie. Not only does he write, he's a pretty great artist too! Charlie publishes weekly comics featuring animated versions of Charles and John Wesley addressing theology, young adult life, and popular culture. His stuff is pretty fantastic and we can't get enough.

Simple Moments: Amy takes some absolutely stunning photos which is why we booked her for our wedding back in the day. She did a great job and, more importantly, she really got to know who we are as a couple. Take a second to check out her gorgeous photos.


Fusion FUMC: In the interest of full disclosure, Lyndsie writes this one too. This is where you can keep up with all things related to the Farmville United Methodist Church Fusion Youth Group. They are a pretty impressive bunch so we highly recommend you tune in regularly to keep up with their excitement.
