Since our fifth child has been born, I tried grocery shopping multiple times with all my children and each trip was so close to a fail. The next week rolls around and I think, "Oh, I can do this!" So I load up all the children into the vehicle and an hour or so later, driving home and thinking again, "Why in the world did I choose to do that!" So, I'm done! I've gotten to Continue Reading
No More Bedtime Stress With Children
Bedtime routine with our four children, aged six and under, was extremely stressful for me (even with my husband's help). It was chaotic. He's telling one kid to do this, I'm telling another kid to do that... and so on. It felt like a battle every night to get each child to do what they're suppose to do. Two very simple things can turn into stress: getting their teeth brushed Continue Reading
My First Ever Pain Free Birth Story
This brings me to pregnancy #5, and my birth story with this one is one that I will never forget (wait... how can you forget any birth experience!). My previous births, I thankfully had no complications, which is why we started to have home births. Every single time, once I go into labor, the baby tends to come out in a very short amount of time! This round, like her siblings, Continue Reading

This post here is all about the logistics in planning a Getaway. The Continue Reading

Because I am a doer - it is very easy for me to get wrapped up in accomplishing tasks all day rather than being wrapped up in my children's lives. The Lord is changing my perspective on what my every day should look like with my children. Now to start off, I'm not saying in this post that we shouldn't work outside the home or pursue other hobbies/interests. It is healthy to Continue Reading
Yes, I’m Pregnant Again
Yes, I am pregnant again! Guilt I’m starting to not feel guilty sharing with everyone that yes, I’m pregnant again! I want to be just as excited sharing this news as I was sharing it when I was pregnant with my first. I believe the hesitation or guilt comes from the reaction I receive from sharing the news with people. Most of our family and friends rejoice with us. Continue Reading
The Terrible 2’s
Another famous saying... the terrible 2's. "My child is in the terrible two's stage!" What does this mean exactly? What does a child at two years old look like? Why do we call it the terrible two's? Most likely this is claimed because of the child becoming testy. The child is starting to expand their boundaries. The child wants what he wants at that moment. The child may Continue Reading
