“Should the cabin experience sudden pressure loss, stay calm and listen for instructions…Oxygen masks will drop down from above your seat…If you are traveling with children, make sure that your own mask is on first before helping your children.” If you’ve flown on an airplane, you likely remember this snippet of the safety briefing given …
Chicken Cordon Bleu
Lately when Jake gets home from work we’ve been taking advantage of the beautiful weather by strapping the kids in the stroller and going for a family walk. Our destination is usually a playground for Baylen to climb around on. There are so many parks in our neighborhood, and since we’re new to the area, …
You Are Precious
I love my kids more than it’s possible to describe. They don’t have to be doing anything special to prove themselves worthy of my love. I simply delight in watching them during the simplest of moments. Baylen will be splashing at his water table, and I find joy in just obvserving him while he’s at play. Or …

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. We tried to pack as minimally as possible, which isn’t very possible, but despite it being a little extra work to get everyone and everything there, it was totally worth …
Body Image After Babies
Emersyn and Mckinley are now 11 weeks old. Thankfully, my hormones seem to have settled down and I feel much more like my usual self. Don’t get me wrong, I still have anxious moments when I feel overwhelmed but sheesh…I am thankful not to be crying at the drop of a hat anymore. Those first …
Potbelly Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
For the last month or so I’ve been on the hunt for a really good oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe. I mean, all moms should have a go to recipe, don’t ya think? There’s just something so cozy and welcoming about having a jar full of homemade cookies. Anyway, I’ve tried several recipes, some that …
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, …
