So, here’s the thing… I didn’t realize how quickly time would FLY by after the birth of our second kid. I know the babies grow quickly, I remember changing the size clothes he was in every four weeks for his first year of life. 6 pounds to 20 in a …
On Thursday, February 12th around 10:30 at night (after watching that week’s Parks & Rec and Modern Family) I started feeling what I guess could be described as period-like cramps. These were not the braxton hicks style contractions I had been feeling for months. These were cramps. Josiah contacted our doula, …
My son has long hair. Beautiful, curly, long hair. He LOVES his hair, and other than some washing dilemmas we face at bath time… He seems to really enjoy and understand that he likes his hair. He knows boys with short hair, he knows girls with short and long hair… …
I’m going to attempt to write down my birth experience with August. Not just the BIRTH itself, but all the pieces of the puzzle that led to the birth. This will include the prenatal care I received, my lack of (or what I consider now to be…) knowledge on pregnancy, …
How I know my husband is living it… August has been asking SO MANY QUESTIONS. It’s amazing. It’s not just “why”, but more like “why is that happening? What does that do? What is that thing? Who is that person?” It’s interesting because he is asking questions he knows the …

Is being married the bees knees? Yes. I always imagined I would get married…I never dreamt about being rich or having a dream job. I dreamt about love. So corny. It’s true, though. I loved being in relationships. After a year and a half at Central Michigan University I decided …
Eating deliciously. It’s not hard! (Sort of…) it’s more about adjusting your perspective. Eating delicious food…It’s more than just the obvious better taste. It has a lot to do with knowing your ingredients, and knowing that they are whole, hearty, natural foods. (Food is the key word here.) I’m going …
I’ve probably mentioned before, but I have given our diet a complete overhaul. It’s not even close to what I consider perfect, but it’s so much better than it was before…which makes me wonder how we even made it day to day pre-paying-attention-to-what-we-eat. I stopped buying snack food, started actually …
I left for Kroger on Sunday and got about 5 houses down and saw a woman talking to other neighbors with a little piggy on a leash. Cuuuute! Then I realized I forgot my wallet and turned around. Josiah and August were outside so I suggested they walk down because …
