We got back on Sunday afternoon from the two and a half week trip we took over the kids’ Christmas vacation. When you travel with a total of 6 people, the LAUNDRY that comes piling out of the suitcases equals approximately 158 loads. ? The MINUTE we got home, I started washing, knowing that all …

I’d Do Anything To Go Back For A Day…
When I was a brand new mom, do you know what phrase used to bother me the very most? “It goes so fast.” This was usually said to me as I was covered in spit up and so exhausted I couldn’t think straight. I literally remember thinking to myself SOOOO many times, “Easy for you …
Working Moms, You Aren’t Falling Short
Last Wednesday was insane. I had been up late the night before preparing our team for a launch at work, I had about a thousand tasks on my to do list, and my mind was spinning in a million different directions. My inbox is always full, and I had seen the notifications that our school …
You Might Be A Threenager If…
Perhaps the biggest myth that I’ve faced in motherhood so far is what they call the “terrible twos.” I actually found the twos pretty adorable. They start to talk more, and I would hang on every word they said because it was just SO dang cute to listen to their little voices. And while they …
How My Side Hustle Became A Huge Financial Blessing
If I’m being honest with you, when I sat down to write this post, the first thing that came to mind was how uncomfortable I am talking about my income. I continued writing, though, because my heart reminds me that I’m on this mission to show others what’s possible. And so yes, I’m sharing my …

Between work and family life, there’s always something to be thinking about next to ensure that we don’t totally drop the ball on something. It’s kind of crazy, …
Her Priorities Don’t Have To Be Your Priorities
Up until recently, the voices in my head were constantly telling me that I wasn’t quite doing things good enough. That as hard as I tried, I just didn’t have what it took to be a successful wife or mom. This is why. In the stay-at-home mom world, there’s quite a bit of emphasis on organization, …
Our Small Children School Us Daily
I thought life was crazy when I had four kids under three years old. And it WAS. Don’t get me wrong. Remember when I struggled with depression? But this new season we’re in with a 2 year old, 3 year old twins, and a 5 year old? It’s craziness on steroids. See, when we had really …
Kids Don’t Need A Perfect Mom, They Just Need You
I need to come clean with you. I’ve been struggling to blog this year. I’ve been trying to think about why, and I really think it boils down to this. When I started this blog four years ago, I was basically a BRAND NEW mom. I had a 17 month old boy, and twin girls on the way. I …
