**No babies were harmed during this photo shoot! Thought it would be sweet getting some sister-sister-sister photos. They turned out to be not so picture perfect, but pretty funny. Galilee did not enjoy the grass much! Then Sawyer decided to hide Galilee! HAHA! She obviously did not know how to hold her little sis properly. […]
I know I’m in the thick of it, at least that’s what everyone says. I wake up in the night to a teething sometimes hungry, 7 month old. I wake up in the light, with a three year old begging for breakfast and a two year old asking to be held. Tap my phone to […]
My first born is two! And it started. People, even strangers commenting on the “terrible twos.” Something feels so wrong about calling a stage of life “terrible,” naming God’s gift, a curse. Sugar coating aside… Yes, toddlers are truly exhausting. Hysterical tears for no reason, fits of rage, deliberate disobedience, they don’t know how to […]

Sons born during one’s youth are like arrows in a warrior’s hand. How blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! They will not be put to shame when they confront enemies at the city gate. Psalm 127: 4-5 Having two babies under the age of two has been quite an adventure! I […]
Samantha woke up, so the family woke up. We started the day like every other day, giving her milk, Dad rushing around gathering his stuff to leave for work, me looking at what dirty clothes on the floor I could get away with wearing again. Since having a baby, getting dressed has become a little […]
Dear Tired Momma of Young Ones, A few weeks ago, I had one of “those” days. You know the one. The kind of day where you seriously contemplate packing a bag and running for the hills BY Y O U R S E L F! It was my first day alone with both kids as […]
