The Unscripted Nest

I love the New Year and all the motivation it brings, along with all the reflection it brings as well. 2025 was a good year for us! It definitely had its ups and downs but overall, I can’t complain! We welcomed our second daughter in January, survived her having a severe form of Cows Milk…

This Christmas was one of the best ones yet! Getting to create Christmas magic for your children is the absolute best!! Our oldest daughter is at the age where she’s really taking a liking to things. She was a pro at opening presents but was equally as excited to make cookies for Santa. We started…

This Thanksgiving was a great one! We celebrated it being Noelle’s first, and got to visit with my brother and sister-in-law who came to visit from Ohio! We also went to a Friendsgiving which was a lot of fun – the crazy part, it was in the middle of a snow storm! Who would have…

It’s Thanksgiving week!! This is my absolute favorite time of year! Getting together with family and friends, good food, and just the hustle and bustle of everything paired with Christmas lights, decorations, and trees – the BEST! We’ve already broke out some Christmas decor because Malia has been so excited for Christmas! Her excitement makes…

My notes app tends to be my best friend for ideas, thoughts, random notes, and goals. A place to quickly jot down my random thoughts that come to mind as I’m laying down to go to sleep or on a random Tuesday afternoon. I saw a video years ago, I believe it was a clip…

We usually don’t celebrate Halloween unless we are invited to a party. My husband and I just aren’t big Halloween people and never have been. But with kids, that changes things a little! We’ve never taken Malia trick-or-treating as we didn’t feel she was old enough to enjoy it. We would still dress her up…

I think I mentioned in one of my earlier posts that I am a Type 1 Diabetic. I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was in 5th grade at 10 years old. I’ll be “celebrating” 21 years of being diabetic this year, next month! I remember vividly being checked out of school early by my…

Dogs, or rather, indoor horses.. As I mentioned before, we have three dogs – Bella, a 13 year old Maltese, Emmitt, a 4 year old Irish Wolfhound, and Witten, a 4 year old Great Dane! I’ve had Bella since I graduated high school. She was a graduation present from my now husband. She’s an old…

Over the weekend, my husband and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary! Our anniversary was on October 14th (It was the 14th of October…if you’re a country music fan, you’ll get the reference lol) but since that fell on a Tuesday we decided to wait until the weekend. We haven’t went out to eat just…

My first blog post, ever! Talk about exciting and nerve-wracking. Anywho, I am Bailey and I’m so excited to be starting this blog. I’m an Indiana girl in my early 30s, married, I have two beautiful girls, and three dogs! I decided to start this blog as a creative outlet for myself. Somewhere that I…
