It’s no news to anyone who has met my son that he is the definition of “strong willed.” I sometimes think his mission in life is to drive me crazy. I overhear him giving commands to Peanut, and I’m pretty sure it’s just so he can feel that he has exerted some form of authority… Continue reading Songs of Defiance

A few weeks ago, I saw this cute printable birthday quiz on Pinterest. I knew with Lincoln turning 3, it was the perfect time to start something like this. Here are his answers to the quiz.

Caimbrin & I trekked the kiddos down South for a week of sun & sand. My grandma has a timeshare in Southwest Florida that we’ve… Continue reading Beachy

So many students are graduating this time of year and my Facebook newsfeed has been full of moms wondering where the years went. It reminds me to… Continue reading Three
We had a lovely Easter Sunday spent with family and friends. Mike & I love hosting events in the new house. Our neighbors commented that we always seem to have lots of cars in the driveway. We laughed and said that’s how we like it! After having everyone over for an egg hunt and lunch,… Continue reading Easter 2013
I’ve not been feeling so hot this week, but I made myself spend some time dyeing Easter eggs with Lincoln yesterday anyways. Oh my. Why do I even feel surprise at the small disaster that everything remotely crafty becomes? I kept telling him to gently put the egg in the cup of dye, and he… Continue reading Egg-celent

I’ve been on a reading kick lately. I’ve found that reading books about life and parenting can really go… Continue reading Trust
