Silver Linings
I love being a mom. It is the greatest calling God has ever given me, and I consider it an absolute honor that He entrusts three precious little ones to Jake and me. But unfortunately there have there been moments lately when I feel like I’ve taken it a bit for granted. The stage of… Continue reading
Summer Fitness Challenge Recap
I wanted to thank everybody who joined me in the Mommy Needs to Move fitness challenge this summer, and for hanging with me despite my lack of update posts during the second half! With three days until summer is officially over, we have collectively moved 3,189 miles, which means we made it from coast to… Continue reading
Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos
It’s no secret that I love my crock pot. I unashamedly use it year round, and owe a sincere thank you to the person who invented it. Since Emersyn and Mckinley were born, my appreciation and dependence upon this amazing small appliance has probably quadrupled and it now ranks right up there with the pacifier… Continue reading

So tonight I made him a Strawberry Orange Julius to help his little throat feel better and soothe his sore gums. The past… Continue reading
Emersyn’s Helmet
Hello again! Thanks for hanging with me as I’ve been away from the computer tending to my busy family! I’ve greatly missed blogging the last couple weeks, since it serves as such a therapeutic outlet for me. But as many of you know, life with little people is unpredictable and always full of surprises that… Continue reading
Every Hour
Last week was a doozy of a week. It turns out it takes a lot of effort to get a household back to normal after being gone for 15 days with kids. We were welcomed back with loads of dirty laundry, dust mites, heaps of mail, long grass, you know how it is. And kids… Continue reading
Where To Buy Cute & Affordable Workout Clothes + Week 6 Update
I can’t believe we’ve already reached Thursday again! The week has gotten away from me a bit! Okay, so before I play catch up and share the weekly mileage update for Mommy Needs to MOVE, I wanted to take a minute and chat about workout gear. For me, a quality workout starts with me feeling… Continue reading
