This is not the end of week garden update I was planning on. I was hoping to post photos of the plants that Brent’s aunt shared with me last Monday, of the blossoms I found on my tomato plants this morning; of the newly sprouted new bean plants, and the new location of the zucchini [...]

I’m so overwhelmed that I’m not totally sure where to start. For someone that is use to being independent, on my own, having no help, who also happens to be someone who’s love language is “acts of service”, the events of this weekend have just totally blown me away!
Where to begin? Church on Sunday. A [...]
Somebody responded to my post about picking out a song list for my next birth and asked how one goes about doing that. Good question! Actually, our last birth was the first time I ever played music. During Ezra’s birth there was a lot of commotion, family members greeting one another, cousins running around [...]
I caught my kids throwing popcorn at this bird, who seems to have the misfortune of making its nest in our back yard, on the ground no less.

I never said I was good at self-portraits. This was a bad hair day, so I was avoiding my upper half. Anyway, here’s the belly.
Please keep your comments limited to: “Oh wow girl, you are ALL BABY!” Because I have to record that my weight gain has reached 30 pounds. This is totally normal for [...]
I really enjoy the moments that I catch my kids loving on each other in a sincere and genuine way. It happens a lot more than I notice probably. I always tell them that no one on earth is going to stick by their side like a brother or a sister will (except maybe a [...]
Suburban CEO has pinpointed that one of the biggest hurdles facing the stay at home mom is isolation. Some one give this lady a Nobel Peace Prize. She says that if you move more than once every 5 (or 7?) years, it’s even worse. Try 5 times in 5 years. That’s how many times we’ve [...]
