Feeling a Nudge
What would I do without my phone? Without my computer? Without technology to keep me going through the day? That is so sad that I just said, “keep me going through the day.” I have such a dependence on the computer. I find myself, admittedly, checking my facebook or texting throughout the day while ignoring…

A year ago, we started here…at home… laboring the two of you out… and growing together… and cherishing each other. Playing together. With your own personalities… Happy Birthday Hoops and Yoyo…oh, how perfectly you match your womb-given names. I love you guys more than ever today and am so blessed to call you mine. I…

Operation Estes Park…FAIL. (sort of)
We packed for what seemed like an eternity Thursday through Friday. I guess my hopes and dreams for this trip were misled. I thought, “Oh what sweet time in the mountains with just our little family and some great friends.” Little did I know that our great start including a fun stop in Boulder at…

Revamping Our Lifestyle
Granola Girl…that was my nickname for awhile. Who knew that I would come back around to embrace that nickname again. And this time with intensity.

No TV For A WEEK!
Remember this book? I used to love this book…one of many good stories written by the Berestains. A good moral in each book. I love it. And it is the theme of our week. After a weekend of lots of movies, ipods, and netflix-ing, I decided no television for our kids this week. Mainly, I…

The Hardest Thing (I think)…
People often stop me in grocery stores, or preschool, or wherever and ask me, “How do you do it?” And sometimes it’s even with only two of the four kiddos. Ha. Well, like I have said in the past, many things flash through my brain but thankfully never end up coming out of my mouth.…

A Wake-Up Story, by Healthy Child Healthy World I just get even weirder when I hear about all the toxins in our world. Ugh.

Let Loose, Mama!
Sometimes I just need a reminder to let loose. Life is too serious. Too busy. Too stressful. I get so caught up in the to-do, go-here, be-there that I lose the moment of beauty with my life. Specifically, I struggle with my kids. I focus on the clock of “don’t want to be late.” Or…
