    We usually do a family vacation with my in-laws this time of year, but while they all went to Southern Utah together, we made the hard decision to stay home (a LOT of factors went into this decision). We decided it was what was best for our family and we ended up having a great…

    Happy 4th of July! Laura got to be in 2 parades and had a blast! The timing between the parades was weird so we were only able to go and see her in one of them. It was so much fun seeing her marching with her color guard team. This was also the first time we…

    What does your inner voice say about you? We all have one. That voice in the back of our minds that tells us we are not good enough or strong enough or brave enough or creative enough, etc. That we will never get healthy and fit. That we are not a good enough mom. That…

    I was able to go on a little shopping spree with my daughter and was looking forward to trying on clothes instead of dreading it. After my 3rd baby, I did not like the way I looked or felt. Shopping for clothes was not a fun experience and I hardly bought myself any new clothes…

    Me and 3 of my SIL’s had a stay-cation last weekend and stayed in the cutest little house. Lots of resting, reading, shopping, talking and laughing. It was just what this mama needed. When I was talking about this trip with Rob and what was planned, including a hike that I wasn’t sure how I…

    Charlie was born on a Thursday; I was going to be 36 weeks that following Monday. I had just had my 35-week check-up that Tuesday (2 days before he was born) and everything looked good and I was on track to deliver the next month (my due date was June 20th). My older 2 kids…

    Being a mom is the hardest, toughest, most stressful & exhausting thing I have EVER done in my entire life. But it is also the most rewarding and fulfilling and beautiful thing I have EVER done in my entire life. Growing up, I never really thought about being a mom. My dream was to be…

    Since our youngest is almost 2 and it is easier to leave him with his teenage brother and sister, me and Rob have been trying to go on dates at least once a month (or every other month). It helps us so much when we can do something just the 2 of us. Sometimes our…

    For the past few weeks, I have been doing a nighttime routine by Brendon Burchard: 3 hours before bed, no more food, 2 hours before bed, no more work, and 1 hour before bed, no more screens. Here is what I have found: I have been getting better sleep at night. I am actually more…
