Theo is turning four this month, and I have never written about his birth story! Since I started blogging when he was 3 and my girls were 1, I feel as if there is a huge void in my blog from the first few years of parenting. I learned a TON in those years and …
I hate the idea of setting New Year’s resolutions, but I love the idea of setting goals for the new year. Why? Let me explain. A goal is a desired result. It is measurable… you either accomplish it or you don’t. A resolution is a permanent change to your life. That’s pretty intense, and it …
Christmas 2017 in our household was SO exciting and I imagine it’s only going to get more exciting in the years to come. Having Christmas in our new house was amazing. Ben and I both feel so at home and love our house and neighborhood so much. It’s a great feeling. Since our children are …
I’m sorry for the crickets around here! Things have been so crazy busy, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get any less busy for awhile. We closed on our house in Ohio and somehow got everything packed up. It was such a stressful experience trying to get everything done with 3 kids and …

I am fairly minimalist when it comes to buying things for my kids for several reasons. When they have massive amounts of stuff it’s just more for me to clean up and organize. I am all about keeping the cleaning to a minimum! They also seem to get overstimulated and don’t play as well when …
My little Theodore turned 3 on January 22nd. I wasn’t upset on his 1st or 2nd birthdays in that ‘oh my gosh, my baby is growing up!’ sort of way. But when he turned 3? Lord have mercy, you’d think he was packing his bags for college! His 3rd birthday tugged and pulled on my …
