Before having my fourth baby, I was always pretty modest when it came to nursing. With my first, I’d always go to a separate room. With the twins, I exclusively pumped and bottle fed. But now, with Case, I have found myself being forced to nurse in the most unusual of spots. Mostly, because my …
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ve probably noticed I don’t often share a lot about the specific parenting strategies we use. There are a couple reasons for this. First and most importantly, I don’t EVER EVER EVER want to come across like I’m an expert. I assure you I am not! …
When it comes to feeding my kids lunch, it's really easy for me to get stuck in a rut. I feel like I feed them the same rotation of four or five things, and after a while we all get bored with them. When Marie Callender’s asked if I wanted to partner with them and their …
The other day I had the chance to spend the afternoon with one of my lifelong best friends. We live in different cities and it had been ages since we had the chance to sit down one on one and really catch up. She was in town and visited me at my house. My four …
My husband’s been working crazy hours lately. He’s often out the door before the kids wake up in the morning and doesn’t get home until after they’re in bed. And then there are other nights he’s out of town altogether. I’m so proud of him and thankful for how hard he works to support our …

I keep thinking about how great it would be to have a meeting with all the moms. Every single one of you. It wouldn’t be a meeting in a sterile board room with dress pants and hot coffee. No. It would be in my living room. And there would be toys scattered all over and …
One of the questions I get asked most often when people find out I have four kids under three is, “HOW do you do it?” Besides coffee, there’s only one real response that comes to my mind. “By God’s grace.” When I say that, I’m not just trying to say the right answer. That’s the honest truth. …
It’s funny. When Baylen was born I remember thinking how hard the newborn phase was. Obviously it was hard in the sense that we were sleep-deprived and new at the whole parenting gig. The learning curve was steep and our world changed overnight. But then he started moving and everything REALLY changed. We could no longer …
This afternoon after we all woke up from nap time (yes, Jake and I included…we rarely miss a weekend nap), we got ready to run some errands. With a new baby, that means feeding him while Daddy gets the other kids ready to go so we can get out of the house as soon as possible. …
