Mother’s Day started this year at 2:15am when I heard my three year old yelling for me from his room. Like many nights, he was up to go potty and we haven’t quite mastered him going all by himself in the middle of the night yet. “It’s too scary at night,” he tells me. As …
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ve probably noticed I don’t often share a lot about the specific parenting strategies we use. There are a couple reasons for this. First and most importantly, I don’t EVER EVER EVER want to come across like I’m an expert. I assure you I am not! …
We had our FOURTH baby on Sunday! I definitely still haven’t gotten used to the fact that I’m a mom of FOUR. Crazy. Before time totally gets away from me, I wanted to take a few minutes to document how this little man came into the world. Okay, where to start… Last week Wednesday I went in …
Right now I’m sitting in Starbucks by myself. The sun is pouring through the windows, and I’m savoring every sip of my vanilla frappucino. My sweet mom is taking care of the kids and gave me the day off so I could spend some time “filling myself up”. It feels strange. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to just be. …

As I look toward 2014, I’ve been thinking about some areas I’d like to be intentional about. Overall, I’m …
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! …
Yesterday was one of those days when I felt like I was spinning my wheels. I was trying to get a little cleaning done on top of taking care of the kids, and it just wasn’t happening. Every time I’d think I had a moment to quickly wipe the counters or fold a load of …
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 …
Happy Saturday, everybody! Weekends are usually pretty quiet on Mommy’s Me Time, but this weekend I have a wonderful opportunity to guest host a Bloglovin’ blog hop! Faith @ The Life of Faith, who is a fellow farm girl and young mommy with the most adorable baby girl named Kaleigh, hosts this each week …
