Happy Monday! As I’m sure all the moms out there know, Mother’s Day is coming up on Sunday, May 13th. Although we don’t like to assume we’re getting presents from our kiddos/hubbies, we must admit it’s nice to be shown appreciation for all we do as a mom throughout the year. It’s not an easy job so [...]

Landon has been waking up before the sun comes up every morning lately. We knew that Christmas morning would be no different. I could hear the pitter patter of his little feet from the hallway. He came into our room and squeaked, “Can we go downstairs?” I sprang from my bed and ran downstairs to [...]

Today begins the holiday for me. I am looking forward to spending the days with my men (one big and two small) and many other family members. My sisters will be in town. I can’t wait to spend time with all three of my sisters. And watch all four boys gather around the Christmas tree [...]

When I went to the store in search of an Elf on the Shelf I said a silent prayer that there would still be one left this late in the season. And then I saw it. One lone Elf on the Shelf. I picked the box up and hugged it tight. Not because I was [...]

I walk aimlessly through the toy aisles of Target. Eyes popped, on the look out for something for Brigham. Landon makes shopping easier. At least he can tell us what he’s interested in. But Brigham. Brigham makes me question why we do this at all. I’ve been having a hard time validating the money we [...]

Last week I decided to do a craft with my kids. Something that would help them understand what it is to be grateful for the upcoming holidays. I got the idea for a Thanksgiving wreath from the Chica & Jo website. When I pinned it to pinterest I was like, yeah, whatever. I’m sure I [...]

Okay, so this might not be a big deal to other moms who are at wizard-level craftiness. But it’s a big deal to me. I have never carved a pumpkin. I wanted to carve a pumpkin with my kiddos. Memories and stuff. I thought maybe you would like to know how to do this “craft” [...]

I'm a working mama to two of the most beautiful and sweet little boys. Landon is 3 1/2 and Brigham is 21 months. Yes, I survived a stint of two under two with a baby who didn't sleep for a year. And if I ever actually realized my dream of walking down the red carpet I'm sure there would be dirt on my dress. I'm just trying not to trip over Tonka trucks. This is where I write, laugh, dream, share, cry, and hope with honesty.
