Day 28 | money Hubby and I watched “Courageous” the other night. There needs to be more movies made like this one. I won’t give anything away but you absolutely HAVE to see it. After you put your babies to bed, have an at-home date night with your spouse. Watch it together. Laugh together. Cry...
Day 26 | night joy Repainting C’s room has been a “to do” for years. Not kidding. I bought paint for his room 3 years ago. It was just one of those “to do’s” always seemed to get pushed down to the bottom of the list. And today it was moved to the top of...
Day 20 | handwriting I was told a while ago that Legoland was offering free admission on President’s Day for children who had a Presidential name. I knew that my determination to stick with a theme when we named our babies would pay off. The kids were excited. I was excited. Hubby took the day...
Day 17 | time My sweet baby girl has been looking forward to this day for several weeks. The Princess Dance. A date with her daddy. Just the two of them. She had a part in every detail of preparing for the dance. The dress, purse, shoes, tights, headband, nail color, hairstyle. She wanted to...

Day 13 of gratitude | simple Sunday joy Our family has been trying hard to make Sundays a day of worship, rest, and family. Today we did just that. Church in the morning. Naps in the afternoon. All 6 of us. Making chocolate chip cookies together after we rested. This is how all Sundays should...
Happy Halloween! The day was full of festivities. We started the day enjoying a “Spider Party” in my daughter’s preschool class. There were lots of fun little activities for the kiddos to enjoy. The twins were even able to participate in the excitement. Next stop, my son’s 1st grade classroom. I brought in a large...
With each passing year, family traditions just get better… and easier. For the past few years, I have been the main person to pull out the pumpkin guts, sort out the seeds, design and carve the face. This year, I was able to enjoy the moments WITH them. I was even able to notice moments...
