‘What a big helper! Gabriel and Grant have recently been introduced to the wide world of chores. Oddly enough, they love it! I remember as a little girl I did too….for a while.:) They both vie for vacuum, mopping, or Windex duty and we’ve actually been having fun with it. We’ve even started rotating dish-washing … Read more
My Favorite Things
I have discovered a new found love of dresses, and skirts and it’s my new mommy must-have. Either fashion has dictated that’s a new trend, or I have just decided to dress somewhat like my grandmother on my own. Either way, I love it! Over the summer I bought a few new skirts for church, … Read more
It’s About Time!
As a mom of 3 boys I always notice how disporportionate some of the clothing stores are. One in particular reserves about 75% to the girls, while the boys section is a piddly little rack or two in a sea of pink dresses! No biggie, heck girls are just more fun to dress right?! I … Read more

It feels like you have a drill Sergeant in your ear it’s SUCH a great way to get your butt … Read more

Hanging Out
Happy 4th of July! I am oddly excited that the holiday falls on Wednesday this year. It’s nice to have a mid-week break! Not sure what we are doing though, the weather looks a little iffy.

Rough Week
I haven’t felt much like updating. A family who we’ve been blessed to know, the Rader’s, lost their daughter Natasha to cancer on Sunday. She was only 5 years old. Over the past year it has been such a gift to know Julie, Tim and their little family. Yesterday I went to her showing and … Read more
