Now that we’ve been living in our new home for a couple months, I’m finally in a comfortable groove and have developed a cleaning schedule that fits our house. When my house is clean, I feel like I have a freedom to focus on and enjoy my family without the piles of laundry and dust …

Exercises for a Better Butt: Side Leg Raises
I read an article recently in which a trainer said that 99% of the women he works with want to have tighter buns. I can’t say this surprised me, since the media is constantly highlighting who has the best back side and fitness magazines are full of routines that claim to give you a tighter …
Cinnamon Sugar Bagels
One of the many things I love about living in Minnesota again is that we have a Bruegger’s Bagels just a couple miles from our house. We were deprived of this luxury when we lived in Chicagoland! Their cinnamon sugar bagels are to die for. Since anything with cinnamon sugar seems to be a consistent …
Weepy
To say I’ve been high maintenance during this pregnancy is a bit of an understatement. My poor husband has certainly put up with a lot as I’ve had my ups and downs. Most recently, my emotions are all over the place and I cry at the drop of a hat, whether its during worship at …

We had a pretty low key week around here. We did ordinary things and enjoyed getting back into a normal routine. To add a little spice to our ordinary week, we welcomed Joey and Madison into our home! They are officially moving to the area and will be living with us for a few weeks until …

As these little baby girls inside me keep growing bigger and bigger (I now have about six pounds of baby in me!) I find myself starting to dream of a day when I’ll be able to fit into normal clothes again. There are so many cute looks out there right now. So, please join me …

Crockpot Hamburgers
It is COLD. Real COLD. So cold that when our plane touched down in Minnesota on Sunday Jake and I may have second guessed our decision to move here a little bit. Thankfully the Twin Cities have much to offer beyond their chilly temps or we may have been on the next flight back south. …
Whatever You Think
This weekend while we were in Miami I had lots of down time and was finally able to finish a book called The Surrendered Wife that I started last Fall. The underlying principle of the book is about how women need to stop trying to control our men if we want to experience true intimacy within our …

As I mentioned on Friday, Jake and I were in Miami this weekend! Jake’s company held their annual holiday party there and invited spouses to come along! He had to spend just a few hours at meetings and we attended a couple meals with everybody, but the rest of the weekend was ours to do …
