These 3 were so little! 😍 In this photo from 2017, they are 5, 10 & 15. This makes me cringe a little though (I'll get to that in a minute), because we had just left the cardiologist where the youngest here was dismissed as a patient after 5 years of frequent checkups, fully expecting ...
16 Years
16 years as husband and wife + 18 years as friends. 💕An arm load of kids, more than a handful of vehicles, turning a house into a home, pulling through the seasons that felt like they had more bad days than good, and yet enjoying each other and honoring our vows through it all.We're still choosing ...

Wife + Momma

Practical Valentine’s Gifts For The Family
I love a good holiday celebration, but I can quickly be discouraged by the way it promotes more clutter in our home, unmet expectations, and unnecessary spending. Maybe you can relate? This year we celebrated Valentine's Day early for two reasons: I bought gifts and cannot keep them ...

Two Days Post Christmas
It is two days post Christmas. I'm laying in my bed, sad. This is the first time in many years that I have given in the commercialization of the holiday and while the shopping was fun, it doesn't feel good today.I feel physically sick at how emotional I am over this.I didn't get to go to the ...
Happy Birthday, Granny
My mom, who my kids call Granny, got to have a house full of joy, noise, crafts, and excitement for her 63rd birthday weekend.
