When I Became a Mom
In a recent blog post, I wrote, "If you see a steady flow of current updates alongside old photos and flashbacks from the kids' childhood, you’ll know that I am processing." So it begins. This [...]
Top FREE College Planning Resources
I've been very vocal about my college search obsession for Z. Some people hire a professional university admissions consultant to guide them through the ins and outs of the process. Me? I’ve unofficially made it [...]
Freedom From Parenting Guilt
Like most parents I fear that I fall short with my children. I worry that I don’t have what it takes as a mom and that I could possibly ruin my one shot at this child rearing [...]

With a family 5 I do my fair share of laundry, and I am about to do even more. First of all I've got these itty bitty baby girl clothes to wash. Aside from the items I got from Carter's all of this stuff came from a yard sale I went to last weekend. They had a two year old girl that was [...]

This was my status update last night on Facebook. "Today Sedona found a penny and two nickels. Tonight when she prayed she said "Dear Jesus, thank you me find three dollars so I can go shopping in Jesus name." Now for a little bit of background to this story that will make sense to those that follow my blog. Here is an excerpt [...]

From the creator of What I Wore the 1st Trimester comes the next set in the trilogy. Unfortunately, I have been very busy the last three months so unlike the first installment where I had my fancy camera and set up a little session just to feature each outfit, I have nothing like that this time. I do have some shots of my baby [...]

Like most parents I fear that I fall short with my children. I worry that I don’t have what it takes as a mom and that I could possibly ruin my one shot at this child rearing thing. It’s not a constant thought, but it’s this lingering insecurity. I used to love to listen to a pastor named Miles Welch, who had a podcast for college students. [...]

As you may have noticed I have been in birthday mode and that is what sparked the idea for a list of gift ideas, but even if there are no children's birthdays coming up for you in the next few months Christmas is right around the corner (only 104 days to go). Keep in mind that although these are things my 8 year [...]

My #1 Son

There really isn't anything significant about turning 8 and yet somehow Z is changing so much all of the sudden!
