A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about the struggle of being an introverted mom. There were some preschool birthday parties that Harlyn had been invited to. The overwhelming response to that post was that despite my discomfort in these types of social situations, I should take Harlyn to the parties. If you missed […]
I love a good worship song. There’s nothing like going to church and it’s just one song after the other of your CHRISTIAN JAMS. When I was young, I never got why people cried in church. As an adult, I totally understand it. There are some songs that definitely “get me.” Today I’m rounding up […]
Can you believe it’s almost AUGUST? You guys, that can’t be true, right?!?! Where does the time go? Speaking of time flying, my 10 mile race is in less than ONE month. And with a vacation coming up (!!!), I know I have to be very intentional about what my training will look like for […]
With kids of different ages and abilities (in our case, a 4 year old girl and a 1 year old boy), it can be difficult to get them to play together happily. While we definitely have lots of independent play, family play time, or man on man defense, we also have been trying to encourage […]
I don’t want to make assumptions here, but let’s just pretend for a second that your kids lose their absolute minds on occasion, like mine do. Thankfully, my children tend to save the drama for their mama, which means the rest of the world is usually spared from the epic meltdowns we experience at home. […]
Today, I’m so very excited to share our FAMILY PICTURES!! Listen. The “family picture” we have on our mantle is about 3 years old. It’s not that we haven’t had pictures taken since then. We have! We had family maternity pics when I was pregnant with Mav, and newborn pics, and fall pictures. But somehow, […]
This was not my original blog post topic for today. But then something happened. I got yet another birthday party invitation for a preschool friend of Harlyn’s. Now, up until this point, it’s been pretty smooth sailing on the whole friend birthday party thing. At the beginning of last school year, I didn’t feel bad […]
Today I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite Mom Bloggers. I’ve been following these awesome women for YEARS! It’s been so fun to watch their families and blogs change and grow, and they definitely inspired me to start my own blog. The thing I love most about these Moms is […]
In true average mom fashion, I wrote this when Maverick turned 12 months, but didn’t take the picture til last week. So….one day before my little man turns 13 months, I’ll give you his ONE YEAR update 🙂 (And thanks for not judging my tardiness too much!) My tiny baby is no longer at tiny baby. […]
If you follow me on Instagram (@thisaveragemom), then you’ve seen some of the pictures I’m sharing today already…sorry!! We had a great 4th yesterday. We didn’t do much of anything, actually. We were able to play with the kids all morning, which was really nice considering we don’t get many Wednesdays at home! We ended […]
