Holidays

Do you struggle with balance?  Balance in your life, balance in your relationships, balance in your health and fitness?  How about in your career?  Your finances?  Your faith?  Even your time off? I struggle with this.  Maybe it is because of my personality…  I tend to be all or nothing in many areas of my life.  Black or white.  Hot or cold.  Yes or no.  It is  very easy for me to get distracted from all areas of my life when one area catches my attention.  Kind of like the dog from the movie “Up.” SQUIRREL! When I get excited about something, it tends to become my entire...

I’ve always made some sort of elaborate Gingerbread House for the Holidays, but as it often does, practicality takes precedence over aesthetics when you have young children.  So this year, I showed the kids how to make a super-easy “gingerbread” house, and they had a ball. Swap out the Gingerbread for Graham Crackers Instead of Gingerbread, we used the much simpler Graham Crackers.  My Mom (who raised 15 kids) always said kids don’t really like the taste of real Gingerbread anyways.  But I can tell you, they sure do like Graham Crackers!  This little house is made out of 4 of the slabs from...

Every year I take pictures of my children for Christmas Cards.  I have this elusive fantasy of one day being super-organized and getting all of the pictures framed and lined up on the wall, documenting my babies’ growth through the years.  I am realistic enough to know that this may never happen.  Truth be told, I am lucky to get Christmas cards mailed out! In fact, I always include “Happy New Year,” just in case they are too late for Christmas. Do you send out Christmas Cards every year? For some reason the thought of Christmas cards did not even...

We had some awesome Halloween fun this week.  I’ll admit I was a little worried about my kids missing out on some fun traditions since they no longer attend a school, and I had to work a couple of days, but our week was full of activities that kept us very busy. The Best Way to Decorate a Pumpkin One thing we learned is that the easiest way to decorate a pumpkin for Halloween is to paint it!  Why have I been struggling with this carving nonsense every year?!  It’s a process that always starts off so exciting, with the whole family gathered around...

We’ve been very excited for this day for a long time now!  Luci has been counting down the days for over a month!  Today is the day that my Baby Luci is turning three! We like to do themed birthdays and for the longest time, Luci couldn’t decide what she wanted the theme to be.  She wanted a pink Rapunzel birthday or a Frozen birthday theme but with a pink cake.  It’s all very serious and confusing for a little two year old!  She finally decided in the week before her birthday - she wanted a Frozen birthday with an...

Happy Birthday Clark! Clark just turned 5 years old and we had a wonderful day full of fun and family!  Not to make this all about me, but I always get a little emotional on Clark's birthday because it is always a sweet reminder of how I became a Mother.  My pregnancy was a nightmare and Clark was born 7 weeks early.  He spend the first several weeks of his life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.  Those days were very, very difficult but so special.  I sat in the NICU every day, holding and loving him, both of us healing together. ...
