Five New Favorites

Life is settling down...I think. Morning sickness is not something that I have ever had to struggle with during my pregnancies (sure, go ahead and hate me!), but fatigue is definitely one of them. I thought that I'd take a moment to share a couple of new loves that I've discovered recently. New trinkets can sometimes make life easier and that is something that I am ALL for these days. However, I also like to keep things simple, so I try to only buy the basic necessities for operating and … [Continue reading...]

Thump, Thump

October baby

My breath caught. Nothing. The agony of waiting and straining my ears was heart wrenching. What if..... But I then I heard it and my breath caught again. It was one of the sweetest sounds that life brings. Thump, thump. Tears slipped down my cheeks as I was once again in awe at the miracle of conception and the gift of life. I had learned about the fragility of pregnancy all too well last year with the loss of my "Angel Baby."  Forget the fact that this is my sixth pregnancy, the … [Continue reading...]

When It Rains, It Sometimes Pours

Just wanted to drop you, my readers, a line before another week passes. I am still here. Thank you guys for your questions and concerns over my absence on the ol’ blog for the past few weeks. Can we just say the word sickness and be done with it? We’ve just about had it all [...]

The Top Drawer Job {S.O.S.}

bathroom drawer organization

Today is a very special day. I am officially the mother of a two year old. Again. Perhaps I should be scared- the whole terrible two thing, ya know? But I’m not sweating yet. Day one and we’re doing well. =) We also had two little boys that spent the night and day with us. [...]

A Decent Sort of Fellow

baked potato soup

I’ve told you before that I absolutely love potatoes and so does my man. That makes us a good match, right? Fellow starch fans. Russet potatoes are my absolute favorite, but I don’t mind the others. Truly I don’t. Gold, red, and white are really just as delicious. Yes, the early 1870s was a good [...]

Our Love Story: The Seven Year Prayer {Part 1}

our love story

In honor of this being the month of love, I thought that perhaps I would share my love story with you. Mushy, I know, but I am without a doubt a romantic soul. I first met my future husband in the fall of 2000, but in reality, our love story began long before that fall [...]

The Walk-in Dilemma {S.O.S.}

walk-in closet

**Sorry for the delay in this series. Every weekend it was something new, but that’s life, right? So I decided to roll with it- in spite of an ear infection, sore throat, antibiotics, and a trip to Urgent Care. And yes, that would be me. I missed the memo this year on mommies not getting [...]

Heart Garland {M.O.M.}

heart garland

Hearts on a string. How simple is that?! Today was a day dedicated to recovery, school, laundry, and recovery. Did I mention recovery??? Oh, okay. Hubs and I had a very laid back weekend, but not in the sense that one might take it. We spent it flat on our backs, sliding down a slippery [...]

Raspberry Orange Smoothies in the Dark

I am a disgraceful blogger. I let you down Monday and last Friday with my acronym series. I truly am sorry. My husband and I are transitioning into some new roles with his job {our church} and I am still sorting through my responsibilities in all of it. I’m trying to find the proper balance [...]
