I came home early from work one afternoon last week. I needed to pick something up that I had forgotten. It was quite cold in the house as it sets in the shade all day under cover of beautiful trees. Nature’s best umbrellas. It was eerily quiet. Toys left behind in the mad morning dash [...]

This week has been hard. Our Sunday morning was beautiful. But by Sunday afternoon Brigham had projectile vomited all over me. Landon decided he would barf while I was filling up at Quick Trip to make the half hour ride back to our house. I took twenty minutes to get it just clean enough so [...]

It is near 70 degrees on a Sunday in November. Landon and I go exploring together in my parents backyard. I fervently capture his every move. I see so much of him in me. His blonde hair. His blue eyes. But also a spirit filled with love of nature and adventure. Oh, how I hope [...]

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.
