Firsts can be scary. Today was the first time I had to send one of my kids to have surgery. This morning my oldest had tubes put in his ears. Even though it was a short in and out procedure, it was so tough on this momma’s heart. Tears, tears, and more tears when I …

“Momma, Hold Hands?”
My oldest will be three in October. Over the past few months he’s turned over many new leaves. I think (I hope) we’re on our way out of the terrible twos and on to an age that will still have its own challenges, but makes it much more easy to reason with him. Ever since the …

Preparing For Four Kids Under Three
As I think about going to bed tonight I have so many emotions going through my mind. At midnight I’ll officially be 35 weeks and 6 days pregnant, which was the exact day I gave birth to my twin girls, just 17 months ago. I went into labor around 2:30am, and by 6:35am I had delivered …

The intent of this trip was to get some shopping done for the sweet baby boy who’s getting bigger in my belly each day. Unlike my other pregnancies, all the preparation is being jam packed into …
They Call Us Momma
For some of us, being a mom is something we’ve been dreaming about since we were little girls. We loved to play house, loved to dress and take care of our dolls, and loved to boss around our siblings or friends who were younger than us. For others of us, motherhood wasn’t something that was …
Realities Of The Third Trimester
I’m in the middle of the third trimester. Since this is the last time I plan to be pregnant, I wanted to take a few minutes and document what reality is like right now. I experienced these things with my other pregnancies, but it’s amazing how quickly you forget about them after meeting your sweet …
Are We There Yet?
Our two-year-old is at that age where he absorbs every conversation my husband and I have. Last Sunday we were talking about this upcoming weekend, and how we’d be going to my parent’s house on the way to visit my brother and sister-in-law. He must have listened to every bit of the convo, because on …
Moms: Let’s Be Teammates, Not Competitors
As a mom, I’m constantly discovering the things that make my kids unique. I’m discovering what makes them smile, what makes them sad, what activities they’re naturally drawn to, how they’re affected by the social situations around them, and what their strengths are, to name a few. I love getting to know them more and …
