  • How to be content with what you have…

    This is something I struggle with on a daily basis. But, it’s complicated. I love my family completely–I wouldn’t change a thing about them. What I’m talking about is material possessions. I feel like with so much social media, all we see are things we should have, want or strive for. We should aim for…

  • Sooooo ready for summer…

    Sooooo ready for summer…

    Our whole house–seriously, summer can’t come soon enough!! My son is ready for school to be over & getting him up in the mornings is getting to be more of a chore. My daughter is eagerly waiting for the beach. I’m just ready for a break from the daily grind. We planted our flowers weeks…

  • Vacation!

    Vacation!

    It’s been a week since we got back from vacation & I still feel like I haven’t adjusted! We took the kids to Legoland in Florida, stayed at the Legoland beach resort…basically went all out so that Dex & Piper could have a blast. The kids loved it, and while my husband & I had…

  • So far…

    So far…

    So, after all that worrying I did about my son, Dex, starting school…he’s been doing amazingly well. It’s hard to get him to eat and get dressed in a timely manner, but other than that, it’s been great. It’s been 2 weeks, and as crazy as it sounds, he’s been even better at home. I…

  • Letting our kids grow up…

    My son started kindergarten today. I’m both happy for him and heartbroken, scared, etc. My husband & I met with his teacher, the school psychologist & principal yesterday to go over what the plan is for him and the evaluation for an IEP. He’s in a great school & they all seemed like they know…

  • Doing life wrong?

    Doing life wrong?

    “You have to let your kids do what they want to do. That’s how life works. You’re doing it wrong! You guys are doing life wrong!” This is what our 5 year old son told us a few months ago. Not going to lie–it’s stuck with me. Maybe he was on to something. I feel…
