Bigger Picture Moment: The Life on My Hip
As I crept through the dark in search of warm socks to take the chill from my icy toes, she clung to my side. Treading carefully over stray shoes, it dawned on me: this child has a lifetime ahead of her, and she rides along with me, trusting me to give her all she needs. [...] Read more »
Small Changes for a Simpler Life
A glance into my highly-distractable, un-organized mind (just what you wanted, right?): It all started with me standing at the front door, with two kids, a baby on my hip, and a bag on my shoulder. Juggling my load I tried key after key before finally finding one that would let us in. I became [...] Read more »

Keep On Keeping On (and a picture of my living room)
I wrote yesterday about my messy tendencies and wanted to quickly share my clean living room: There are little bits on the floor that need vacuuming, the shelves are still overstuffed, but it’s not terrible, right?

This is how I have felt for the past month: Exhausted. Overwhelmed. Burnt Out. I thought it might be worth sharing [...] Read more »
Parenting: Part Love, Part Guerrilla Warfare!
The picture above is of my parenting and marriage books. It shows how much help I have needed along this journey called “motherhood” (and wifehood)! I think most of them were purchased on bad days when I felt completely overwhelmed and at a loss of what to do. Judging by the amount of books I [...] Read more »
Mornings…
Since my last beautiful baby was born, I have struggled with mornings. I like to get up before the kids, but it has been SO hard lately. I am still up with Little Miss quite a few times throughout the night. So I sleep whenever I can. The problem is, when I stay in bed [...] Read more »
Glorious Notebooks!
If you are a notebook addict like me, you will appreciate this… Isn’t it a beautiful sight!? I went to Wal-mart and did our yearly notebook stock-up. The 70 page spiral notebooks are on sale for 15 cents and the 100 page compositon notebooks are 25 cents. They are both usually around $1 each. So [...] Read more »
The past few days…
…have found me curled up in a ball on the couch with body aches and a fever above 104. It’s been a rough few days, but I think the sickness is almost done with me. I tell you, being sick with a baby in the house is just plain hard! I’m grateful she isn’t crawling [...] Read more »
