On Being Surprised with the Third

The due date for baby #3 is quickly approaching and during these eight months I have felt mixed emotions about not finding out the gender of our little babe. With Gwyn, we found out what we were having the moment we could. We even had one of those 3D ultrasounds done before they were more […]

On Starting School

We have had a great summer. A busy, great, and memorable summer. And as it nears the end, I am watching all the moms sending their children off to school with tears in their eyes. For many of the moms, they have kids starting school for the first time so this is extra sentimental for […]

Bumpdate: Week 30

How Far Along: 30 weeks. That feels SO…. far along. I am in my 30’s. Wow. Symptoms: I actually feel like I am further along, physically. My jogs have turned into fast walks and even those I am thinking may need to cease. I was on one the other day and my whole belly started cramping. Kind-of […]

Life Lately

Week two of our trip back home was pretty full of fun with friends. The Hubby and I actually got to start off with a night in Tahoe to celebrate our 6th anniversary. We ate dinner at the place our reception was held and visited our wedding site which was incredibly special. We hadn’t been […]

Life Lately

After The Hubby was gone for 17 days… YES… I SAID 17, I was just about done-in for. But counting down the days to his return kept me going, as did watching the full series of One Tree Hill. I am embarrassed to admit this. But yes, my evenings were filled with teenage drama which […]

Sometimes I Yell

I don’t know how. And I don’t know exactly why. But my kids are able to do  something to me that no other being is able to do. I find myself so fired up by those two little people sometimes that I can’t control myself. And I yell. I yell like a toddler tantrum-throwing banshee. […]

Bumpdate: Week 26- and a great opportunity!

How Far Along: 26 Weeks! I totally thought I was nearing the end until I counted backwards and realized I still have 14 weeks to go. That is a lot, people! Symptoms: My loungewear/workout clothes are getting a little…. short. In the belly region.  Embarrassing Moment: I can officially say this week was free of these moments! Hoorah! […]

No Bake Energy Bites

With about a dozen cookies down the hatch to myself, I decided I needed something healthier that would take the edge off. And these babies did just that. I had all the ingredients on-hand, they were super quick to throw together and completely satisfied any cravings I had. Plus, my kids love these, too and […]

Six Years

Six years with this man. A man who would do just about anything for me, including a silly and fun first dance. Six years and we have come so far. From moving states, to going back to school,  to babies galore, to new houses, to new careers. And so much in-between. I SCORED with the […]
