I WANT, but I WISH…. We all go through this cycle. I’m not immune to it and neither are you. Life is interesting (to say the least). Whether you’re a parent or not, I’d be shocked if you haven’t found yourself fluctuating between the wanting and wishing of things. Our thoughts and feelings can often contradict each other, and sometimes it happens all in the same breath, the very same moment. I WANT a bigger house… but WISH I didn’t have to clean it {Read More}
Prelude: Pregnancy (Part 3)
January 12, 2019 by
Welcome to Part 3 of the Birth Series. If you need to get caught up: PART 1 PART 2 And now continuing from where we left off….. “I want to show you something we noticed.” This time, it wasn’t about the congenital heart defect on the screen.

This finding on the ultrasound is what would send me into an unexpected c-section surgery later that {Read More}
Prelude: Pregnancy (Part 2)
December 6, 2018 by

It’s been a hard season. So much weight our moms have had to carry. Such big mountains our dads have had to climb. Surgeries, {Read More}

The pregnancy and birth of our third child wrecked me to my core. There, I said it. The honest truth. I haven’t shared much about this journey for many reasons. It requires me to be vulnerable, open, and transparent. I’ve always been nervous that once I tell her (our) story aloud to people, the circumstances would become permanent. Or, it would be insignificant and unworthy of telling. I’ve always been somewhat of a private person when it comes to life’s {Read More}
MIA mama, that’s me!
August 30, 2017 by
I’m excited to finally disclose the reason I’ve been MIA over the past two months! Our tribe will continue to grow….as we are expecting baby #3 in early March! All of you moms out there know how tiring the 1st trimester of pregnancy can be. Now, add two VERY ENERGETIC little ones to chase after all day and I’m basically passed out as I eat dinner each night. Needless to say, the blog has been put by the wayside for a bit while I try {Read More}
