Today was one of the hardest days I’ve had in a really long time. Julia woke me up with the news that she didn’t feel good and had thrown up. I got her settled back in bed just in time for Truitt to inform me she was in need of her breakfast. After feeding Truitt…

Just Because it’s HARD, Doesn’t Mean it’s BAD…
Saturday we packed up and headed over to a friend’s house for a play date. I’m always nervous going to anyone’s house for the first time, especially when I have all of the kids. It can be a little overwhelming to most, and John and I always joke about never getting invited back? When you…
This is it…
As I sit here sipping my coffee, basking in the silence, all I can think about is the precious baby girl that will be joining our family later today. I am trying to savor every last moment that I have with just her, because I know once she arrives they will be few and far…
Every Super Mom Needs a Sidekick
Well this week confirmed that even “Super Moms” need a great sidekick. Wednesday morning everyone woke up excited and ready to go to Schlitterbahn, including me. I got up, cooked breakfast, and made sandwiches for lunch. It takes almost an entire loaf of bread to make sandwiches for our family, and I’m not even talking…

Less than 2 months after returning home from overseas, it happened! John and I took a couples trip to Houston with two of our really good friends, Kevin and Ally to go see one of our favorite artist. John had introduced me to Bob Schneider before I left to go overseas, and he was a…
Go To Bed!
I wrote a blog earlier about some of the tips that we use with sleep training. However, just like many things in parenting, something can be working great and then BOOM, your 2 year throws a wrench in it. It’s nights like last night that make me feel like I’m failing miserably as a parent….
Let’s Talk About Sex…
Sex is one of the biggest topics right now in our society and probably one of the most misunderstood. This first conversation between God and man involved our identity and it involved sex. Yet, growing up, I felt that the church shied away from the topic. The only conversation pertaining the issue was that sex…
Perspective
After hearing laughter and the ruffling of some sort of bag, I peaked over from the kitchen to find Jettie and the twins destroying a box of cereal. For a fleeting moment, I thought about rushing over, scolding Jettie, who obviously had initial custody of the cereal, and taking it away immediately. This instance made…
