I LOVED this detailed look into the lives of the Duggars! This book was inspiring, encouraging and fascinating.
It was awesome to read that Michelle Duggar herself sat and cried some days when she had all littles around her feet. It’s easy to look at their family now, all perfectly lined up with clean neat clothing [...]
I found out I was pregnant with Charis when Arwen was about 9 or 10 months old. I looked from the pregnancy test down at the infant playing happily at my feet and thought, “What the heck?!”
Don’t get me wrong, I was super excited about having another baby. I really can’t remember what I did [...]

My apologies. Due to the fact that I have no concept of time, this post was written on Monday. Three days ago… I think.
Brent got home at 4:00 pm today. As usual, he asked what I’d like to get done this afternoon. He knows me well! I’m all about gettin’ stuff done…usually to a fault. [...]

Sorry to leave off on such a disparaging note the other day! I hate to give the impression that things are toil and drudgery around here, because real life couldn’t be further from the truth! Yes, it’s stressful, exhausting, scary, busy, and extraordinarily entertaining. But there is a simplicity that is woven throughout each [...]
That’s a little misleading, since I haven’t actually owned any high heels since 1998.
I’m stressed out ya’ll. My adrenal system seems to have completely given up on me, and while I’m trying to fix it, I find it impossible to find rest and de-stress. (I’m not complaining mind you, just stating a fact. There is [...]
I’m sorry but it just couldn’t be helped.
I had to share this video, and if you’ve had three or more children, you will understand why.
The conversation around the school table this morning…
Arwen: Hey Mom. If you give me lip I’ll call Mick Jagger.
Charis: Hey, I need lip, let’s call Mick Jagger!
Arwen: If you wanna give Mick Jagger lip; call him!
Charis: Hey Arwen, say something so I can repeat you. I’ll give you lip. We can call Mick Jagger! Oh, [...]
