Just a stay-at-home mother of four writing about books, parenting, and life in general. I hope you enjoy the ride.
If you are currently pregnant or a new mom let me start this off by saying, “Congratulations!” This is such an exciting time but it’s also a very overwhelming time. There are so many gadgets and gizmos that it can be very hard to tell which ones are worthwhile. So,…
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and while I’m not a BIG fan of the holiday, I do think it’s a great way to show the people in our lives that we think of them and we love them. One thing I love about Valentine’s Day is that you…
I’m not one to freak out easily but… CHRISTMAS IS COMING! If you are someone like me, you might be freaking out a little with all the things you need to do in the coming weeks. For example, are you ready for all the Christmas shopping? Do you have your…
Hello Fall! I’m a sucker for the fall season. It’s my favorite because my birthday is in the fall (November), my favorite holiday is during fall (Thanksgiving), and it has the best sport (Football). Also, I love doing this easy fall craft with my kids. Disclaimer: In the name of…
Mother’s Day is approaching fast! Instead of a post about all the amazing gifts you could get your mother, I thought I’d share all the motherhood quotes I love. Some of these quotes are funny, some are insightful, and some are inspiring. I hope you read these quotes and they…

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…
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…
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…
