Since I created my last Day In the Life post, a lot has changed. Another little princess was added into our family. We moved locations a year and a half ago. Our children are older and have more responsibility in the home. Plus, homeschooling has become more consistent. In general, we still follow the same routine, however, the dynamics are different and the days are filled Continue Reading
Why I Love Having All These Children
Every day is different with a house full of kids. Some days are easy where everyone is content and happy. Some days are hard where none of the children seem to be getting along which involves a lot of screaming and crying. The good weeks are when we all can have our emotions under control several days in a row. Those moments define glamorous motherhood. They will cause you Continue Reading
Is It Selfish To Not Receive?
The other day I was at Sheetz with my aunt, and while I was walking up to the checkout line, she handed me $3 to pay for my milkshake. My immediate reaction to her was, "NO, NO!" She then said, "Why don't you receive this blessing?" And in those few seconds, I felt guilty and chose to receive it. After the matter I thought, "Why did I just not receive it?"

Another Hard Week (plus, details of the accident)
I arrived seconds after the accident. I didn't even know it was an accident until I saw the UTV (side by side) flipped on its side which then led to why my husband was covering his right eye. My heart sank. I then looked closer at the UTV, and saw his sister still inside of it, trying to climb through the roll cage. I rushed over with the gulf cart that me and my girls came Continue Reading
A Hard Week In Mothering Brought Me Tears
I had one of the hardest weeks mothering this past week. For four days... it was rough! It was so hard being a mom! Just saying those words does not even compare to the reality of it all. Have you ever had that feeling where it feels like you're screaming on the inside and have absolutely no control over what is happening in that moment? If you understand that feeling, well, Continue Reading
