I’m always on the lookout for healthy snacks to stock my pantry with, so I was pretty excited last week my mom showed up with homemade fruit roll ups! She has apple trees at their farm which she makes into applesauce and from there it’s just a matter of cooking a layer of it in… Continue reading
A Whole New World
Emersyn and Mckinley learned how to sit up on their own this weekend! And we’ve been having a blast this week figuring out all sorts of new things for them to play with and look at. I forgot how much suddenly changes when babies learn to sit up! A whole new world is available to… Continue reading
Rest Is Necessary To Be Effective
Yesterday after we got home from church I was hit with some sort of weird stomach bug, which wiped me out for the rest of the day. I ended up sleeping for three and a half hours, and Jake took care of the kids after they woke up from their naps. After a low key… Continue reading

If you’re anything like me, it helps to have something to spice up Mondays a little bit. Today I’d like to help you with that! I have the opportunity to give away a $30 credit to Origami Owl! Have you heard of Origami Owl? It was started by a 17 year old girl named Isabella… Continue reading
Birthday Buddies
I worked for Feed My Starving Children before I had kids, and loved the relationships I was able to develop while working there. It was amazing working with other people who were like-minded. One of those people was Ashley. She and I were Event Planners together and we clicked from the minute we met. One… Continue reading
Papa & Nana
My parents are in town this weekend and it makes my heart so happy to see the relationship they’ve developed with Baylen over the past two years. We had been talking all week about how Grandma AND Grandpa were going to come to our house, and randomly Bay would go to the door and say,… Continue reading
I’m Still Me
Yesterday I was blessed by adult conversations! It was a nice break from the baby talk and toddler talk. It’s funny, because I’m so used to my own little world when I’m at home alone with my kids, that sometimes I feel a little awkward when I actually have time to talk to an adult!… Continue reading
Captivated
Emersyn and Mckinley are at a fun age. They are completely entertained by the silliest of things, especially their big brother. It’s been a blast to see them interact lately. I think Baylen’s starting to see them as playmates instead of babies who lay there and have nothing to offer him. He loves to visit… Continue reading
Joy In The Simple Moments
Whenever people ask me what I like most about being a stay-at-home mom, I always tell them it’s being there during the simple moments. Getting them up from their naps, kissing their boo-boos, watching them learn a new skill, reading stacks of books, going to the park, and the list goes on and on. Here’s a peak into some of those moments… Continue reading
Chasing My Tail
Yesterday was one of those days when I felt like I was spinning my wheels. I was trying to get a little cleaning done on top of taking care of the kids, and it just wasn’t happening. Every time I’d think I had a moment to quickly wipe the counters or fold a load of… Continue reading
