I talk about her message often, and for good reason: because it’s life-giving, encouraging, and practical. Don’t we all want to surround ourselves with that kind of support? I know I do.

Towards the end of summer, while reading blogs, I stumbled upon a few photos of macramé plant holders and I thought, I think I need to learn how to make one! The kids are so good about leaving plants and within-reach decorations alone, so my main focus for wanting a hanging plant holder was mostly… [Read More]

Filed Under: baby things, for fun, mamahood

Our family is three babies blessed, and it’s been such a joy to go through the baby clothes, bedding, and tiny rattles with each pregnancy. Before we were parents, I wasn’t really sure which items would become favorites. Ask me now, and I’ll give you my list — no hesitation! It’s important our baby items… [Read More]

Hey friends! The weather has took a turn towards cooler air, and I absolutely love it! When we were living in Los Angeles we rarely saw shades of red and yellow on the top half of trees, and so this is partly why I’m realllllly loving that fall is upon us. Our 2-mile round trip… [Read More]

Filed Under: debt, family, for fun, inspiration

Earlier this summer we achieved a HUGE financial goal for our family, we paid off our 2010 Chrysler mini-van! We have finally made a plan to become debt-free, and while seeing how much we owe written down on paper makes me a bit queasy, I am so happy we’re acting like adults and have made… [Read More]

Another week is wrapping up, and I just have to say MY GOODNESS, that was a rather hard one. We are transitioning Natalie from her crib to a toddler bed (she’s not quite 21 months, however Goldie has outgrown her cradle) and it’s not gone well.

Earlier this year I lost my Fitbit. At some point while packing for our move to Detroit, I stuck it in a bag (why wasn’t I wearing it?!) and then naturally forgot about it until about 90 days ago. As soon as I found it I told my mom something like, What’s the point in… [Read More]
