The weeks are flying by, which also means my girls are growing quicker than ever. 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
Sorting Out What Is Important
I’m a checklist type of person. Before starting my week, I usually write a list of things that I’d like to get done. Things on my list include housework, making appointments, weekly dinner menus, and other “homemaker” type things. I feel a great sense of accomplishment with each check mark I make. But you know… Continue reading
Butterscotch Pudding Cake

Today I’d like to talk about a dear friend I have who has just been an absolute peach, bringing us meals every week and listening as… Continue reading
Moments Mommy Captured: 4/29/2013
Hello! It was a good week around these parts. We’re starting to settle into a schedule with the girls, which makes our days feel less chaotic and more manageable. AND, they have been sleeping for a six hour stretch the past couple of nights, which makes Jake and I wake up feeling like we can conquer… Continue reading
Piece of Cake Spaghetti Bake
Jake’s mom stayed with us for the past couple days while he was out of town on business, and she was kind enough to make meals for us! She always has the best ideas for recipes that are simple to make but taste great, and last night’s meal was no exception. This Spaghetti Bake is… Continue reading
Moments Mommy Captured: 4/23/2013
It’s been a crazy rat race around here lately…the fun never ends, that’s for sure! I’m dropping in for just a few moments while all three, yes three kids are napping at the same time. I really hope I can keep them all on the same afternoon nap schedule…those couple hours each day is my time… Continue reading
Quick Chicken Cacciatore
Hello hello! I know it’s not a Tuesday (the day I typically share recipes), but it’s also not looking a thing like Spring around here, so until the weather straightens out a bit, I think I can get away with mixing up my schedule a little too. This is the lovely view of sleet and… Continue reading
