Ok but seriously. WHAT is it about toilet paper that makes toddlers all giddy? Maybe it’s the fact that they can shred it into a million pieces? Or feed it to the dog? Or clog the toilet when they decide it’d be fun to throw a whole roll in? Whatever it is, my kids LOVE …

Emersyn and Mckinley learned how to sit up on their own this weekend! And we’ve been having a blast this week figuring out all sorts of new things for them to play with and look at. I forgot how much suddenly changes when babies learn to sit up! A whole new world is available to …
Papa & Nana
My parents are in town this weekend and it makes my heart so happy to see the relationship they’ve developed with Baylen over the past two years. We had been talking all week about how Grandma AND Grandpa were going to come to our house, and randomly Bay would go to the door and say, …
I’m Still Me
Yesterday I was blessed by adult conversations! It was a nice break from the baby talk and toddler talk. It’s funny, because I’m so used to my own little world when I’m at home alone with my kids, that sometimes I feel a little awkward when I actually have time to talk to an adult! …
Captivated
Emersyn and Mckinley are at a fun age. They are completely entertained by the silliest of things, especially their big brother. It’s been a blast to see them interact lately.

Wisdom From Other Moms
I’ve only been a mom for two years now, so I am pretty new to this whole deal. I have so much to learn, and am incredibly thankful for the more experienced moms in my life from who I glean loads of wisdom from. As I think about my day yesterday and the places I …
It’s Worth It
Yesterday was sort of a “blah” day. I woke up in a bit of a funk, feeling tired and dragging my body through the motions of a typical Sunday morning. It’s always a rat race to get all five of us ready and out the door for church on time, and yesterday morning was no …
A Father’s Love
Weekends are glorious. Mostly because my handsome husband is home! Jake’s job requires quite a bit of time during the week, but Saturday and Sunday are all about quality family time. I take a big exhale and relax knowing that we get to take care of the kids and enjoy them together. A typical Saturday for …

Routine wise, our days look very similar around here, which means I tend to have the same junctions every day when I switch from one activity to the next. Most days, I don’t give them much of a second thought, and just keep plowing through the day. But yesterday I made an effort to be …
