Today, as has been the norm for the past three months, I woke up feeling so tired and in need of more sleep. As I stood in the bathroom just having taken off my glasses, I buried my head into my hands and cried. I cried because all I could feel in that moment… Continue reading Focus on thankfulness
Is it kind of totally twisted that I found this quote quite funny? But really, how else can you survive some of the crazy parenting moments if not with a good sense of humor? So, yes, there are moments where I have total bliss and harmony with my two girls. When all things are… Continue reading Somewhere between pulling my hair and blissful
Sometimes I have some real amazing epiphanies as a parent. Those moments where I think, wow, where did that calm and patience come from? Who is this person and what has it done to my usual impatient and easily rattled self?! I never knew quite how impatient I can be and how easily I… Continue reading Hello beach, goodbye control
Love this! Today I’m celebrating just being alive and having family time with my husband and our girls. We took a family stroll with Biggie this morning and now we are off on a bike riding adventure. It’s when I let go of control and planning that the most beautiful moments happen. What… Continue reading Celebrate!
That’s the name of the color I decided to paint my nails at 2:40am because I can’t sleep. Maybe next time I’ll try the “we are mint to be” color. Nail polish names crack me up. I shouldn’t be writing at this hour and instead soaking in whatever sleep time I can get but… Continue reading Jenna and the giant peach

I stood there watching her twirl, bend, twist, and do all sorts of movements, flowing so… Continue reading Little performer

It’s not somewhere you happen to stop by on your way to your real destination. And don’t get me wrong, it’s a beautiful slow moving quiet place, the… Continue reading In search of wildflowers: Don’t blame the Toms
I’m so ready to throw in the towel today, and it’s only 2:45pm. And I haven’t even been able to shower. I’ve got two very congested girls. My theory is our 3 year old got our 8 week old sick. Which means one cranky toddler that wants to believe she’s boss and doesn’t take it… Continue reading Apparently it’s Meltdown Monday today
Today was pretty jam packed with fun and enexpexted activities. Well, at least unexpected to me based on what I originally thought we would be doing on a Friday. First I was hungry for a workout. So at 6:30am after feeding Elysse, I headed out the door with my workout gear and headphones on.… Continue reading Family time
Nothing good can possibly come of writing at 10:20pm after more than an hour of trying to put my 5 week old to bed and failing miserably. But I think every mom should be allowed a rant, especially at the 5 week mark when sleep has gotten slightly better, but let’s face it, I’m still… Continue reading About a newborn – the 5 week mark rant
