It’s no secret that I love my crock pot. I unashamedly use it year round, and owe a sincere thank you to the person who invented it. Since Emersyn and Mckinley were born, my appreciation and dependence upon this amazing small appliance has probably quadrupled and it now ranks right up there with the pacifier …
Seasons
Lately I’ve been in awe at how God uses seasons to remind us of his faithfulness. I took my kids on a walk this morning and as the crisp fall air hit our faces (how cute is Mckinley Jo in her little hat, by the way!), my mind immediately thought back to a year ago …
Grocery Shopping With My Little People
It took me a while to get the courage to go on shopping trip with all three kids BY MYSELF. But sometime within the last month I started doing it. I’m not gonna pretend to tell you it’s a breeze. I definitely have to mentally prepare and give myself a little pep talk before venturing …

Weekend Getaway to Arizona!
Hello friends! It’s been a while since I shared an update about what’s been going on with our little family. Probably the biggest news is that Jake took a new job! He wasn’t necessarily looking for something different, but an opportunity presented itself and after much prayer, we went for it. I’m so proud of …
