Happy Belated New Year and 2019 Goals

Hello there! Long time no blog! I will admit, life got a bit crazy last year and my writing/memory keeping/blogging fell hard. As in, I barely did anything. I barely did my Bible devotions, I read maybe 2 books (and one of those was a re-read), and my journaling took a backseat as well. And…

2018 Goals:

1) Start taking better care of myself: fitness, food, sleep: I feel like this one is almosg a no-brainer, but I also feel the need to put it on the list. My self-care has been pretty non-existant since having the kids, and I really need to change that.  I did join the gym in November,…

Intentions for the Week – September 25, 2017

Oops. I realized that I haven’t posted for a while. My bad. I’ve been battling a sinus cold this past week and it knocked me on my butt. At least I’m on the mend now. I’m gonna try to keep more on top of my lists and (hopefully) start writing a bit more. Intentions for…

A Short Story of our Puppy, Winnie

This one is a hard one to write. I was really hoping that the story of our new Boxer puppy would continue to play out for years to come, but tragically ended after 3 weeks. This story started a couple months ago. We had been debating for quite a while about getting a puppy. Me…

Dear Zachary | Month 1

Dear Zach,This first month has flown by so fast. It feels like I just blinked and all of a suddenly the month has gone by. You’ve added to and have completed this family in ways I can’t explain. You’re so loved by your big sisters and everyone in our extended families. I love your little…

3rd Pregnancy Update

Hi there!  With 2 days to go until my scheduled C-Section (!!), I figured it might be time to do an update on this pregnancy and how me and the little guy are doing.  This pregnancy has been a bit harder than the girls were. He’s been head down the entire time and starting to…

101 in 1001 – 3 Month Update

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on my current 101 in 1001 list, so I figured that I might as well do a 3-month update before I’m out of commission for a couple weeks once Baby Boy arrives. If you want to see the original list, here it is. I also have a…

Day in the Life 2017 – May 22, 2017

7:30am | As usual, Dominique is the first one up, so I get up with her, grab a cup of coffee, and put on Finding Nemo. Violet joins us a couple minutes later, so I pull out the hide-a-bed for them to lay down on and grab my knitting while I sit on the couch…

Week in the Life 2017 | Wednesday Words & Photos

Most days I’m up around 6am during the weekdays. Keith usually goes to the gym first thing in the morning, so I try to make sure that I have some quiet time to myself before the chaos starts for the day. Most days I grab a fresh cup of coffee (with a healthy dose of Irish…
