Just a stay-at-home mother of four writing about books, parenting, and life in general. I hope you enjoy the ride.
Father’s Day is right around the corner! I have a question for all of you: Do you give a gift to your husband/ father of your children? Normally, Luke and I exchange gifts on Mother’s and Father’s Day but this year with Cooper being born so close to Mother’s Day…
Hello, third trimester! Congratulations, you’ve made it through 2/3 of your pregnancy journey. I would love to say that you’ve been through the worst of it but in my experience the last 12 weeks are… A LOT! There’s back pain, sleepless nights, heartburn, and so many other lovely symptoms. I’m…
Guys, I’m going to make a little confession; I’ve never cooked ribs before. Usually Luke will throw them on the grill but It’s not something I’ve ever tried to make. I’m also not the biggest ribs fan… until NOW! This Dr. Pepper Ribs crockpot recipe will knock your socks off!…
Can you believe that in less than 10 weeks I will give birth to my fourth baby?! No, me too! It seems like just yesterday I found out I was pregnant. Time really does fly when you’re having fun (or when you’re a Mom of three and your days are…

I don’t know about you but I’m feeling 2022! Does anyone else have this stuck in their heads? I swear it has been on a loop in my head for the last two weeks. So, we should really feel 2022! Now, what does that mean? To me, it means that…
Hello, 2022! Can you believe the year is 2022?! It doesn’t seem real. But here we are and now it’s time for me to list all my 2022 goals. Now this year I’m doing things a little bit differently than the years before. This year I broke my goals down…
Hello, winter! One of my favorite things about winter is all the delicious and warming winter recipes. This instant pot beef stew is one of my go-to dinner recipes. I love curling up with a big warm bowl of this stew. It’s filling and it is so delicious your family…
If I’m being completely honest about myself as a mother, I’m definitely a “bare minimum” mom. What is a “bare minimum” mom? Well, I’m the kind of mom who does the bare minimum and that rings true for the holiday season. This year I’m going to change that. I’m ready…
