Moments Mommy Captured: 6/11/2013
I just have a few minutes this afternoon to pop in and share a handful of pictures from our week. This little man brings me so much joy with his expressions…they are priceless. He likes to play his piano and look up at me to make sure I’m singing along with the music. He LOVES… Continue reading
Moments Mommy Captured: 6/5/2013 (Trip to Duluth)
Hello again! Last night we returned from a little getaway to Duluth! Jake had to be there for work, so the kids and I tagged along. We tried to pack as minimally as possible, which isn’t very possible, but despite it being a little extra work to get everyone and everything there, it was totally worth… Continue reading
Body Image After Babies
Emersyn and Mckinley are now 11 weeks old. Thankfully, my hormones seem to have settled down and I feel much more like my usual self. Don’t get me wrong, I still have anxious moments when I feel overwhelmed but sheesh…I am thankful not to be crying at the drop of a hat anymore. Those first… Continue reading

Like many families, my husband had the day off from work today, which in turn meant my load was lightened as well. It’s been a pretty laid back day here, or as laid back as can be expected considering our current situation of having three kids under two. We’ve cuddled the girls, enjoyed their smiles,… Continue reading

I so want to remember these first months with them, and since my sleep deprived mind most likely will prevent me from remembering lots of details, I want to make sure I’m documenting them as much as possible on this… Continue reading
Mommy Lifelines
I can honestly say that since the girls were born two and half months ago, I have been working harder than I ever have in my life. I have an around the clock job, which on average means I’m putting in 15 hour days, and then am “on call” for the remaining hours while my… Continue reading
Down On The Farm
Jake had to travel out of town for work this week so the kids and I spent the week down on my parents’ farm. I’m so thankful to have a place with wide open spaces where I can take them. A place where life moves at a slower pace and there’s time to reflect, spread… Continue reading
Kid Friendly Frozen Yogurt Drops
If you follow me on Instagram (@amberkuiper) then you probably know by now that our family loves greek yogurt. My brother and sister-in-law got us hooked on it a while back and ever since we’ve always had a steady supply on hand. I think it’s a bit of an acquired taste, but once you fall… Continue reading
