As we were walking up the sidewalk towards the front door of the kids Daycare this morning, my kids were on a whole other level of crazy. Evie was holding my hand and trying to keep up with her brother, who was a few steps ahead of us. A Daycare Dad, Will, had just walked…

Six months of Evie
Evelyn is six months old today. And I am not okay. I mean, okay, that’s dramatic, but I’m just so… surprised. I feel like only two weeks ago I was waving positive pregnancy tests in D’s face, dumbfounded. For about a year, I did not think I would be able to have children. But then…
Our life lately
Lee has been potty training since this past Saturday. Evie has decided she no longer requires sleep. The crews working on our house are at a stand still due to all of the rain. BUT Lee only had two accidents at school yesterday. AND Evie rolled over for the first time yesterday afternoon. AND the…
A surprise arrival
She’s here! She’s here! ……………and she has been here since April 30th. Sorry about the delay, we have been a little busy. Let’s rewind to Monday, April 29th at about 2 P.M. It was 38 week check up time! D was getting excited to see Evie on the ultrasound screen, as he always was and…

This little light of mine
I used to think that I was destined for greatness (yes, this is embarrassing to admit). But in the beginning, didn’t we all? Be honest. You thought you were going to change the world. Whether you were going to become an astronaut, or a policeman, or a doctor, you had big dreams. Anyway, I have…
Live your life
“I feel like everyone we know is out here chasing their own version of the American Dream and you and I, baby we’re just living our lives”. This sounds like a line out of a country song, doesn’t it? It’s not. D said this to me when we were on our way home from our…
What I Didn’t know
****WARNING: THIS IS A SAPPY POST. YA GIRL IS IN HER FEELS TODAY..**** YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Last night, after all of the household chores had been done and Lee had been put to bed, D and I climbed into our bed and turned on the television. D scrolled through Hulu for a minute…
