This morning I had to go to the dentist for a routine cleaning. Ugh, how I hate the dentist. If it weren’t for my husband who is the one in the house who prioritizes our dental health, I probably would have postponed my visit until who knows when. I’ve always had bad luck at the …
Moments Mommy Captured: Happy Easter (3/31/2013)
Happy Monday! I’m coming at you a day late with Moments Mommy Captured due to being a little exhausted from our fun weekend! We had family staying with us to celebrate Easter, and had a blast. My youngest brother, Jason, and his wife Ali, drove up from Kansas City on Thursday night. They met the …
I Want(ed) Proof
We usually put our kids to bed between 7 – 7:30pm. This means most of our nights are spent at home, and usually include watching some TV. One of our favorite shows is Shark Tank that airs Friday nights on ABC. If you aren’t familiar, it features a panel of potential investors, known as “sharks” who consider offers …
Indoor Activities for a Toddler Big Brother
Baylen has been so patient and gentle as he gets to know his little sisters. It’s the sweetest thing to watch. However, there is only so much “sit and be gentle” that a little 17 month old can take before he reaches his limit. Since we’re pretty much house bound until our four pound twins …

A Full Heart
There have been many seasons in my life when I’ve had to fight long and hard for contentment. It seems that my tendency can be to always look forward to the next stage, which sometimes causes me to neglect to appreciate life happening in the present. Lately, however, I have been soaking up each moment, …

We continue to get more settled into our life as a family of five every day. It’s starting to feel normal! Here’s what you’d find if you came to spend a few moments at our house these days… Baylen is starting to understand what it means to be a big brother. He’ll give the girls kisses, …
Goodbye Maternity Clothes!
Happy Friday, Everybody! After a week and a half of wearing mostly yoga pants and sweatshirts, I decided today was the day I needed a little pick-me-up and feel like a normal person again. I started the day by taking a bath and put on some jeans and a sweater. I then went downstairs and …
Postpartum Recovery
When I was pregnant with my firstborn, Baylen, I remember reading and learning all I could about labor and delivery, so I had some idea about what to expect. The fear of the unknown prompted me to ask many questions so I could be as prepared as possible. I didn’t, however, spend much time thinking …
