Well, we did it! Our first half marathon is complete! If you’ve been here awhile, you know that I’ve been training for my half marathon for some time now. You also know that my husband decided to hop on the bandwagon about 6 weeks ago…and somehow went from running 0 miles to 13.1 in that […]
Well hi there! First things first…sorry for my absence last week. I had every intention of blogging, but work ended up being insane, and I just never got around to it. By the time the kids went to bed, WE went to bed. Anyway. In the middle of a crazy week, Halloween arrived!! And we […]
When I started running, I had one goal in mind: run a 10 mile race in August. But as the months passed by, I realized I was doing much more than just training for a race. I was learning along the way. Because of the physical AND mental nature of running, I have been learning […]
In our family, teaching our kids about God is a big deal. We want them to have a relationship with Jesus. We also know that since our kids are still quite young, there is a lot they won’t understand yet. Heck, I’m in my 30s and there’s a lot I don’t understand! But we want […]

Today, I wanted to chat about the rest of our Michigan trip (if you missed my Mackinac Island post, you can find that HERE) and a few things we learned about traveling with young kids along the way. The last time we flew to Michigan was when Harlyn was a baby. Since that time, we’ve […]
A Birthday Party Gone RIGHT! If you’ve been around awhile, you may recall that I’ve discussed being an introverted mom before (see that post HERE) and also followed that up with a post about a preschool birthday party gone so-very-wrong (which you can find HERE). But today, friends, I am happy to report that I […]
So the last week of September, on Wednesday, we flew up to Michigan. The next day, Brandon, the kids, my mom, stepdad and sister and I got up and drove the three hours to Mackinaw City. We got there about lunch time, and then took the ferry to the island. Once we arrived, we went […]

After four years of motherhood, I feel like I have a pretty good handle on what other moms do. And so I know that I’m in the extreme minority when I say that our schedule is usually empty. In fact, regardless of whether people have kids or not, there’s this “thing” in our society where […]
