We spent yesterday resting and recovering from the party. Jake encouraged me to sleep in, which was glorious! You know you’re a mom of little people when sleeping in until 8am feels like a mini-vacation. 😉 Baylen’s party on Saturday was super low key, but it’s amazing how any extra work on top of the… Continue reading
Baylen’s 2nd Birthday Party
We threw Baylen a little birthday party yesterday, and it was incredibly humbling to see family and friends come together to love on our little guy. It made my heart happy to have a day where he was the main focus. Since Emersyn and Mckinley were born he’s done a great job sharing the spotlight, but… Continue reading
I Can Do Something
I’m going to keep it brief tonight because I am wiped! Yesterday was full of rushing around getting last minute things in place for Baylen’s birthday party today (pictures to come tomorrow!). Although it was busy, God reminded me that He was walking alongside me, especially when we were at Target. We went there after swimming lessons and… Continue reading
Running With Precious Cargo
Yesterday was a perfect Autumn day here in Minnesota. It was one of those days when I just had to be outside as much as possible! Knowing that snow could be only weeks away, I have to take advantage of nice weather while I can. We went for a mid-day walk to the park, but… Continue reading
Baylen’s 2nd Birthday
Yesterday Baylen turned 2! The joy of the Lord was so present as we celebrated our amazing little guy. I tried really hard to put aside all of my chores, laundry, ect, and spent extra time focusing on him. As I intentionally observed him playing and laughing and interacting with his sisters, my heart overflowed… Continue reading
Anticipating the Unknown
Last night Jake and I were reminiscing about what we were doing exactly two years ago. We talked about how we had just finished a long day of yard work, that included filling up a huge commercial sized dumpster with all sorts of disgusting debris from our dump of a backyard. I was raking, shoveling,… Continue reading
Wisdom From Other Moms
I’ve only been a mom for two years now, so I am pretty new to this whole deal. I have so much to learn, and am incredibly thankful for the more experienced moms in my life from who I glean loads of wisdom from. As I think about my day yesterday and the places I… Continue reading
It’s Worth It
Yesterday was sort of a “blah” day. I woke up in a bit of a funk, feeling tired and dragging my body through the motions of a typical Sunday morning. It’s always a rat race to get all five of us ready and out the door for church on time, and yesterday morning was no… Continue reading
A Father’s Love
Weekends are glorious. Mostly because my handsome husband is home! Jake’s job requires quite a bit of time during the week, but Saturday and Sunday are all about quality family time. I take a big exhale and relax knowing that we get to take care of the kids and enjoy them together. A typical Saturday for… Continue reading
Encouragement From A Stranger
Whenever I take the kids out and about, we’re a bit of a spectacle. People see that we have three kids under two, and they usually have some sort of typical reaction about how busy we must be. Which is totally fine. I appreciate people willing to acknowledge how crazy it is! But this week I’ve… Continue reading
