I am so heavily burdened right now for someone I care a great deal about, and my desire to help her in any way I can is constantly on my mind. It is so easy to fall prey to hurtful words that someone spouts at us as adults, but as a young person, this is […]
So many things have transpired since I have written anything! We moved out of our house into an apartment with hopes and plans of finding land and building a house. As usual, things did not go according to plan. Things were going according to plan until my husband crushed his foot at work. Along with […]
We are officially packing and getting ourselves ready to move! I had planned to get a lot more done this past week, but the flu pretty much knocked me down and stomped on me. We did manage to get our keys to the new apartment this weekend. Yes, apartment. I am not super excited about […]
We were forecasted a “dusting” of snow on Friday and we ended up with more like 10 to 12 inches! We have had such a fun weekend of sledding, playing in the snow, making hot chocolate, and being lazy. Tonight, we decided the best end to our snowed in weekend would be ginger snap cookies. […]
As you can guess from my lack of posts recently, I have been unbelievably busy! Grayson is now in kindergarten, Fiona is in preschool, Mark and I still work, and now we are also trying to sell our house while simultaneously finding the ideal place for a new one! In all the craziness, I have […]

As I have mentioned, my son often has issues with standing in front of a group or being the center of attention. We enrolled him in taekwondo to help him overcome his stage fright. He still gets nervous going into class most days, but he goes in and does great. Even when he has to […]
As a parent, there are times that I have gotten so frustrated with my kids and the way they are behaving, that I seem to lose my mind a little. I try sweet mother of the earth and love the first seventeen times I ask them to do something, but on the eighteenth time, I […]
If you don’t know by now that I love coffee, you must not be paying attention. I love coffee so much, I seem to find connections to it in the strangest of places, like raising children. Every morning when I get up, I slowly and sleepily make my way to my espresso machine, the piece […]
