Why We Kiss Their Boo-Boos
Lately I’ve been kissing a lot of boo-boos. Maybe it’s because we’ve been spending much of our time outside, but it seems like no more than 10 minutes passes between one of my kids tripping, running into something, scratching their knees, or dropping a toy on their toes. Luckily we haven’t had any severe injuries,… Continue reading
When Mom Life Doesn’t Go As Planned
I woke up last Friday morning in a funk. I made it through my normal A.M. routine which includes fixing breakfast, unloading the dishwasher, throwing in a load of laundry, cleaning up the kitchen, and vacuuming the main level.

As many of you know, making headbands for my twin girls has become a fun hobby for me. I’ve learned a lot over the last year and love experimenting with new… Continue reading
Finding Freedom From The Comparison Trap
Comparison. This word has the power to suck the joy out of motherhood. I experienced it for the first time shortly after I had my firstborn. While I was in the thick of feeling clueless as a first time mom, I started to research what I should be doing during each stage and when I… Continue reading
It’s a . . .
On Friday afternoon, Jake and I went in for baby #4’s 20 week anatomy scan. As we walked into the clinic so many emotions overcame me. The last time we went in for a 20 week ultrasound, we found out I was pregnant with twins. That was by far the most overwhelmed and surprised I’ve… Continue reading
