joy in motherhood, homemaking, faith & simple living
We have about three weeks to go, then my little posse of three upgrades to four! It’s been “just the three of us” for almost 17 months now, but I remember plain as day when it was just Maxwell and I. We had so much to learn — we were both so new at this… [Read More]
I am getting so close to my due date, I can practically smell the sweetest of our newest baby :) A few days ago we celebrated 36 weeks pregnant with our third, and I’m just feeling so giddy to hold our baby in my arms. I can’t quite imagine what it’ll be like to have… [Read More]
WELCOME TO THE THREE-YEAR-OLD CLUB, MAXWELL! I’m amazed that you have been three for an entire week now. (Where is the time going?) Honest to goodness, the morning after your birthday felt as though you had transformed into a new phase of awesomeness. You are so fun to be around, so curious over life. Your… [Read More]
I’ve always been a big fan of reading. As a child it felt like a fun way to learn new about new topics, and as an adult it’s a really genius way to pull myself away from the daily minutia. And, it gives Zack and I something interesting to talk about besides the kids and… [Read More]
This past weekend felt like a wonderful, constant, giant, HOORAY! On Saturday morning, Rebecca and I co-hosted a Detroit metro meetup, and we had such a great group of gals join us! :) It was wonderful to gather with so many, and would you believe we chatted for over three hours? As the snow fell… [Read More]
It’s time for us to catch up! :) January and February went by equally fast (so much excitement over living in Michigan again) and slow (missing Zack so, so terribly while he was finishing work in California), and suddenly we’ve welcomed March into our lives. Shortly after Zack arrived in Detroit (Feb. 20) our entire… [Read More]
The last two years we’ve ordered Valentine’s Day cards of the kids (see our 2014 card with just Maxwell HERE and our 2015 card with Maxwell & Natalie HERE). But now that the kids are officially toddlers, I thought it would be really fun to make our own cards this year. While scrolling Instagram, I… [Read More]
It’s late in the evening as I type this, and the quiet of the evening is settling in around me nicely. The furnace is bringing warm air into each room, Bauer is taking his 37th nap for the day, and my mind is re-playing some of the silly things the kids have done or said… [Read More]
Zack is still working in Los Angeles, while the kids and I are in Detroit, and most days I feel like I handle life just fine. (I do have a big “all the details about our move back to Michigan” blog post typed (and I will publish it soon), but helloooooooo, I’m one gal trying… [Read More]
