Another month has flown by! Our boy is just getting so big. He’s now saying Mama, Dada, and Vroom…and a few times it’s seemed like he’s said More and Mine, but I’m not exactly sure. Mav is still wearing 12 month clothes, but he won’t last the summer in them. We’ll have to buy more […]
This morning I got to go to Harlyn’s preschool’s Mother’s Day Tea. It was such a sweet event! Harlyn’s teachers put so much love and thought into this. When we arrived, there were gifts for us at the table (a All About My Mom fill in the blank sheet—hilarious!, a picture of each kid in […]
We had a great weekend celebrating our favorite four year old. We chose to keep it simple for another year and just do a family party. Harlyn dressed up as Wonder Woman (side note: her Halloween costume was the best investment ever. We spent like $20 or $30 and she’s worn it more times than […]
Yesterday afternoon almost killed me. Not really, but sorta. It was one of those days where things started out fine, but by 2:00 I was praying for kids to be in bed, asleep. I was not mom of the year yesterday evening. Heck, I wasn’t even average. You ever have those days? They happen more […]
Four years ago today, I became a mother. It’s crazy that some days, it feels like I’ve just always been a mom, and other days I’m sitting there like, “wasn’t she born yesterday?” I know everyone says how quickly the time goes, but I’m really feeling that truth today. Harlyn is such a kind and […]

Materials Needed: Plywood or particle board (Since both the staple gun AND the screws didn’t work that well with the particle board, you may want to consider getting plywood instead. But we made it work!!!) Upholstery Foam (we got ours from Hobby Lobby) Fabric Spray Adhesive *For the above mentioned materials we spent about $80* […]
We had a great weekend celebrating Easter. He is Risen! On Friday, we took a half day so that we could spend the afternoon with the kids. We went to the mall since it had rained earlier in the day and outdoor activities wouldn’t have worked out too well! We rode the train, of course! […]
Last night at bedtime, Harlyn and I were talking about how it was almost April. We talked about her upcoming birthday when I blurted out “Harlyn, don’t turn 4! Don’t grow up!!” to which she gently and lovingly replied, “It’s okay, sweetheart!” and gave me a hug and kiss. Yes, she called me sweetheart. It […]
