This seems to be a year of giving up things. January 1st got kicked off by giving up Facebook. What a relief that has been. I’m three months into it, and I haven’t regretted it once. A month ago the Lord convicted me that I was being frivolous with buying coffee at coffee shops. So … More Giving Up
Instead of cleaning the kitchen, tonight I’m blogging. My foggy brain is processing rather slowly after a day like today. And I’m so glad that not every day mirrors this one. We took our weekly trip to my parent’s property this morning. My sister and brother in law and their three kids are living there until … More A Month of Hazard Lights
Rachel turned 6 months old a week ago! I’m amazed that she’s gone from this: To this: I really love this age and stage. I know the moody toddler months are quickly approaching, so I am savoring this time while it lasts! Rachel is a little sweetheart (Josh was too at this age). She is … More Rachel Turned 6 Months!
I can no longer say that I have “two under two.” And that is wonderful news! Josh turned two last Thursday. We met up with my folks and my sister and her kids at a McDonald’s with a toddler play area for lunch. He had a blast playing with his cousins until he tripped and … More Josh is Two!

Josh is on day 6 after the stomach flu and is back up to about 50%. His recovery has been much slower than I had anticipated, and he still won’t eat much. Hubby even went to McDonald’s yesterday and brought him a kid’s meal in hopes that he’d eat more than his usual bite or … More Stomach Flu
We had one day to recover from Disneyland and then BAM! The stomach flu hit. Until now, we were novices in the flu department. Josh is the only one who has it (so far), poor little guy. He hasn’t been able to keep much of anything down for over 36 hours. Thankfully there’s no diarrhea … More Stomach Flu & Booger Beans
I know, I know. With a title like that, I sound like a privileged brat who doesn’t notice the blessing that’s right under her nose. I mean, how many people are dying to a) Just have children (that was us not that long ago), or, B) be able to afford a trip to Disneyland? I’m … More We Survived Disneyland With 2 Under 2!
