Every Hour
Last week was a doozy of a week. It turns out it takes a lot of effort to get a household back to normal after being gone for 15 days with kids. We were welcomed back with loads of dirty laundry, dust mites, heaps of mail, long grass, you know how it is. And kids …

I just have a few minutes this afternoon to pop in and share a handful of pictures from our week. This little man brings me so much joy with his expressions…they are priceless. He likes to play his piano and look up at me to make sure I’m singing along with the music. He LOVES …
Moments Mommy Captured: 6/5/2013 (Trip to Duluth)
Hello again! Last night we returned from a little getaway to Duluth! Jake had to be there for work, so the kids and I tagged along.

Thankful for Freedom
Like many families, my husband had the day off from work today, which in turn meant my load was lightened as well. It’s been a pretty laid back day here, or as laid back as can be expected considering our current situation of having three kids under two. We’ve cuddled the girls, enjoyed their smiles, …
