At nearly four-years-old Landon is still such a sweet boy. But he certainly has his moments. When we moved to our new house last year we saw a change in him. The sudden attitude came out of nowhere. He would talk back and keep doing the wrong thing even when we asked him to stop. And the tantrums began. For [...]

There’s not much I like about spending 40 hours a week away from my children. I work full-time and let me tell ya – when 4:00 rolls around I start getting antsy! By that time I am SO ready to see my kiddos. Although it sucks to say goodbye in the mornings there is something about working that [...]

On Tuesdays and Thursdays I take the boys to daycare. Naaman is already at work so it is my responsiblity to get them from home to “school” on time. I have always said, I hate daycare days because they stress me out more than a day when Naaman is home with the boys or their [...]

1. Thank you for all the kind words and well wishes on my new job. My first day went well and I am very hopeful that it will be the place where I belong. 2. Even though we’re on a budget, I decided to break it and FINALLY buy myself some new clothes. I have been searching for [...]

I keep coming to this space. Hurriedly clicking the keyboard watching letters form words. Then holding the delete button until they’re all gone. I’m not working this week and I’ve very purposefully taken some of my “alone” time to reflect on what my life is right now. I wish I could say I’m at a place [...]

Landon had his first soccer class/game last night so I guess that officially makes me a soccer mom. He did awesome and I couldn’t be more proud.

I’m still struggling with what to say and how to say it. So I’m writing what I want and what I know and if someone wants to read and comment, well then, that’s cool. The world is reawakening. I don’t want to miss it. Spring has arrived and everything is new and green. I’ve been outside [...]

It was Saturday. The boys went down for an afternoon nap. I kept myself busy. Dishes clanking in the sink, the sound of the dryer thrashing wet clothes round and round. Until finally I stopped cleaning, looked around and breathed. I slipped off my shoes, grabbed my journal and opened the sliding glass door. With [...]

1. Brigham picked out his shirt for the first time yesterday. I had already put a shirt on him but he went into his closet and said, “choo choo shirt.” So I had to oblige. I took the shirt off and put the new one on him. Oh boy, choosing clothes for himself is a [...]

Sometimes I worry that life will always leave me wanting. When I got engaged, I threw myself into all things wedding-related. When I got married, I threw myself into all things home buying. When we bought a home, I threw myself into planning our 1-year anniversary trip. When we started trying to conceive, I threw myself [...]

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.
