Luke’s birthday fell on Wednesday this year. Not the most fun day of the week and for our family it’s typically one of the busiest. While I have every intention of going all out for the big party in a couple of weeks (we’re combining his party with...

You could almost say that I’m cheating a little bit this year on my New Year’s Resolution because I’ve never been this excited about accomplishing a goal that I’ve set for myself. In a nutshell: I’m taking my photography to the next...

I thrive on goals executed by way of lists, and plans, a little bit of structure I suppose. Otherwise I’m easily distracted and I’ll get lost along the way in conversation or swallowed by the deep ocean that is Pinterest or, well you get the point. So for...

Coughing. Croup. Colds. Christmas pressure! Cooped up. Oh yeah, it’s been a fun couple of weeks. And thanks to Facebook, I happen to know you all have been going through it too. So I feel compelled to share what I stumbled across the other day. When the kids...

Friday night was date night: Jared and I…and Grace. The boys stayed the night with our Aunt and Uncle while we took her to see her cousin perform as a ‘snowball’ in The Nutcracker and then out to dinner with the whole family. She was completely...

1. He’s got a cool truck (I didn’t care that they couldn’t get it out of the driveway, I made them stand by it anyway) 2. They laugh at my kids, and that’s my big ol’ soft spot 3. She has the cutest smile, and it comes so easily....

By far, the most fun year ever decorating the Christmas Tree. Last year, I was hugely pregnant and basically did my best to shoot some video from my spot on the couch. Jack thought that the fragile ball ornaments from my childhood should bounce so we had a few...

So, my boy started crawling 4 days ago. He’s 10 months old…for another few days anyway. Go ahead. It’s okay…you can one-up me. My kids are late crawlers (among other things) and I’m okay with it because I have officially withdrawn myself...

When my Mom called a couple of weeks ago to ask if Grace would like to be a ‘sheep’ in her Chorus’ Christmas Concert (Skyline Chorus: Sweet Adelines) I have to admit I hesitated. Not because we weren’t available. Not because Grace...

When we moved in last year I was about 8 months pregnant, crazy tired and constantly battling every nasty preschool virus that Grace brought home with her. I was in survival mode so I did my best to set up our home but after living in it for just over a year now...

“Mommy” “Yes Grace” I can hear the the sing song frustration in my voice. “Why does Daddy close his eyes when he puts me to bed?” The question stops me cold. I wasn’t expecting it. It’s a nightly ritual when putting...

Click Here to see this article featured on Mile High Mamas Salty and Sweet = Heaven. Agree? I am a sucker for this combo. When I was in high school I used to go to Wendy’s and order french fries to scoop out my Frosty (can’t believe I just admitted...

I have a new insecurity. I’ve noticed lately that when I’m in a crowd, I feel like I’ve lost my social mojo. My brain feels slow and sluggish, my ‘wit’ is depleted. It feel like my mind goes blank and what comes out of my mouth...

This last Pinspiration came somewhat out of the blue. I found this quote and felt it worthy of this last post, and I want to sear it into my brain: I don’t want my children to be what I want them to be. I want them to become everything God created them to...
