Whenever someone finds out I have sextuplets, a general series of questions soon follows. Anything from how many boys vs. girls to what vehicle I drive to how they were conceived can come up. One of the FAQ is if they all sleep at the same time, particularly napping at the same time. The answer […]
Recently, my church has been doing a series on momentum. Life momentum. Where are you headed? Is there any forward movement in your life or are you stuck? And if you are stuck, what’s the next step? Well… I wish I knew! But really, these questions got me thinking about my own life. And honestly, […]
At our last Mom’s Night Out, I had some spare time to check out all the awesome sponsor booths. As I walked around, the table of our longtime sponsor-turned-friend Beth Bills with ItWorks! definitely grabbed my attention. {Okay, maybe it was the mini cupcakes.} After I inhaled daintily ate my cupcake like a lady, I focused in on the […]
“Life is an adventure, and there is no script. I see something in ordinary moments. I believe that perfection comes not when you are dressed perfectly and wearing lipstick – but in little moments and interactions that make up our days and build and sustain our relationships.

Now that my kids are well into the toddler stage, I have been able to manage more and more outings {with help of course}. And thanks to a handy dandy Fall Bucket List, our calendar has been busy and full of fun! But, as I have learned, whenever we are out and about, we draw attention. […]
I’m not sure if it’s more my upbringing, my close relationship with my mom and grandma, or the fact that I have an unusually large number of children, but when it comes to being a mother, I’m so old school. Personally, I think being an old school mom is great, but I feel like I’m […]
Trust me. I know how it feels. Filling out those pesky developmental checklists and checking ‘no’ for not just one skill, but a whole section. Heck, I have one kid I don’t even read the questions anymore because it’s ‘no’, ‘no’, ‘no’, ‘no’… easier just to get it over with quickly. But that’s a whole […]
