Sometimes, life with kids gets a little monotonous. I would love to say it’s all full of adventure and Instagram worthy moments – but…it’s not. So today when my little lady left and made it VERY clear that I was to protect her brand new stuffed animal bunny “April” from her brothers – I got […]

Dear Sweet Little Lady, Oh you darling little girl…  You are HERE.  It took a lot to get your here.  Your mommy and daddy were AMAZING. And you?  You are heaven…here.  On earth.  It can be hard to see it when you’re waking your mommy and daddy up as much as I know you are […]

This weekend we chose an adventure. That started to EPICALLY turn.  Not a slight careen.  Not a mild curve.  A full, complete and utter turn for the worse. We set out to climb a mountain.  We strapped the kids in, handed them snacks and started down the road.  The unfortunate problem?  Half of Atlanta must […]

So many posts.  So little time.  Mentions of disgust and sadness and so many other emotions as people watched Miley Cyrus perform. The thought that wouldn’t leave my mind for even a moment? God is FOR her. He always has been.  He will not love her more if she changes her ways.  He is not […]

These two. They fill my heart with joy.  They’ve become such cherished friends.  And so when we planned to visit family in Michigan, they were the first people I called.  Because…I adore them. For the past 3.5 years, I’ve had the privilege of documenting their love.  Their laughter.  And all the joy and hilarity and […]

We have a very important rule in our family.  Whenever you go to a hotel, you simply must jump on the bed. And for this entire next year, whenever I get discouraged, I’ll look through these pictures and smile and realize just how blessed I am.

To the sweet mommy who feels discouraged today…like she’s less than and can’t get it together – like it’s all too much and there are too many questions and too many requests and you’re about to lose your marbles… YOU. Yes, you. We’re in this together.  And I’m cheering for you.  Doing cartwheels for you.  […]

For all of you who know my dad… My dad just recently learned that he has a blood disorder. The good news? He’s doing well and this was caught early. The EXTRA beautiful news? My dad for years has been passionate about donating blood. Up until recently, he gave faithfully every time he could. Giving […]

We’re moving.  Again. Not quite so far, but a change nonetheless.  Which means boxes.  And packing said boxes.  And lots of things that sometimes leave me feeling overwhelmed. But yesterday – I set out to tackle some boxes and make things happen… I asked my oldest 2 to go upstairs and get Hannah’s stuffed animals […]

He is my joy. My laughter. My ball of energy and hilarity. Oh how I love this little man…
