Our little daycare is changing right along with the seasons! 🍃 🍁 🍂


I’ve announced we are expecting a little brother for Bobby in February 2025 and though we are so excited I’ve also been experiencing some complications that have affected how much I can take on with the daycare.

I had to make the difficult decision to help some families transition to other daycares and adjust my age range to 2 years and up for the near future.

With these changes, I’ve been able to find a delicate balance between being a daycare teacher, a toddler mommy and pregnancy.

Sometimes I struggle with how much things have slowed down and I miss the chaos and hustle of having many kids here.

Other times, like today, I feel so blessed to be able to be fully present for my boys.

When I started daycare I had so many dreams and as our little family grows those dreams are changing and I’m learning that that’s ok.

Before anything else, I am a good mother. & that’s enough. ♥️

🚧CONSTRUCTION ZONE 🚧

We are loving the surprise construction going on in our front yard today. City water pipes are being replaced, hooray! Safe and healthy water systems are so important, we are so thankful to have them done! Thank you City of Big Rapids. ♥️

All the littles are intrigued by all the LOUD sounds and are eager to see the machines and the construction process!
