Today was one of those days where you think you have it all together. We woke up late, but managed to get the girl off to school in time. I got myself ready to leave, started to get dinner in the crock pot and my 5 year old runs down the stairs and announces, “Mom… Continue reading Humility is key
Welcome 2017
With the start of the New Year, I wanted to try to get in the habit of writing things down again. I love being able to document what happens to me and our family so I can look back on it, and I did not do so well in 2016. So, as a wrap up… Continue reading Welcome 2017

My room
Some days I wonder, how in the world did gloves, army men and cowboy boots end up in my room? I look under my bed and find batman socks, empty drink containers, toys, and all sorts of weird things. Currently I see a football and some Ninja Turtle men just mocking me. I don’t even… Continue reading My room

Whenever my kids have birthdays I can’t help but look back and think about the day they were born. Lucky for me, Aaron really enjoys talking about when he was born and all the things he went through. He loves looking at his baby book and hearing how extra special he was. Last night was… Continue reading Eight
