Hello, everyone. So with Coronavirus happening, our initial steps to add to our little family were postponed until now. Since we’ve last posted, I’ve had an MRI and we found out I have a minor case of Schizencephaly. Schizencephaly is a developmental birth defect that is characterized by abnormal slits or clefts in the cerebral…

An Update To Starting A Family
So a couple weeks ago I had a brain MRI because the last time I had one I was 20 months old. Getting a diagnosis so early in life means that your parents obviously know more about the details of your diagnosis until you decide you want to know for yourself. So now, at 30,…
Organizing A Small Kitchen
We moved into a rental house a few weeks ago and the house is quite small and everything is “efficiently spaced”. With little counter space, we had to get creative about storage for small kitchen appliances like the blender, stand mixer, food processor and others. We basically have a large house’s worth of kitchen items…
Reaching A Childhood Milestone at 30
So, the typical timeline for a lot of milestones that people accomplish happen when they’re young. When you’re able-bodied you might not even think about it. Learning to ride a bike, how to rollerblade, learning how to walk, ice skating, going to a water park, anything sports-related. I’m sure you’re thinking, “Yeah, well everyone knows…
Christina’s Second Thrive Basket
Hello, everyone! I received my second Thrive Market box in the mail today! I’m still figuring out how I like it and if it’s actually worth it. If you’ve ever shopped through Thrive Market, please comment below and tell us what you think! Becca and I mostly use Thrive for my vegan pantry items, as…
The Lakes Are Moving!
It’s been a hot minute since we posted on here. The last year hasn’t been the easiest, for multiple reasons. One of them being that we are living with my in-laws and it’s hard to feel like newlyweds, living our first year of marriage together, when there’s no privacy and each of us like doing…
Wedding Photos
Hey there, everyone. It’s been a minute, we know. We’ll do more of an update in a couple days, but we got our wedding photos back so we figured we should share. If you follow us/Christina on Instagram (christinaglake) you would have seen them already, but here you go!
New Year, New Changes
Sorry it’s been so long since we wrote on here. Nothing big to report. Now that we’re married we obviously would love to move out of Becca’s parents house but Becca is looking at different job opportunities that would possibly make buying a house impractical right now. So, we are still moving out, but we…
Hello, 2019!
So it was the last day of the year yesterday and Becca and I had planned on going to dinner and a movie (we’re not huge partiers). Well, we looked outside yesterday afternoon and it was snowing. Hours later, still snow. So we thought it was best, especially for me, to stay home. We cooked,…
It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
Hello everyone! I know it’s been awhile since either of us have talked to you but we’re still here, we promise! The holiday season has been great! Becca’s family has a Christmas party every year usually 2-3 weeks before Christmas and that’s always a blast. This year was definitely tamer than usual (there’s usually beer…
