Yesterday was a memorable moment. Spring time…down on the farm! Piglets squealing, lambs frolicking, kids racing each other down the gravel pathways to see the rooster cocka-doodle-doodling Sophie held her nose ...

Lunch
What do you eat for lunch? Lunch is a tricky meal of the day. If you’re out and about, sometimes it can sneak up on you without even realizing that it had been forever since you had last eaten. Ever since we had to get intentional about our food choices, eating on the go is [...]
Pretty Ears
My babies got their ears pierced! While we were in Arkansas, I of course, was on a quest to live life to the fullest. Since flying six kids and a best friend to Hawaii for surfing lessons wasn’t an option at this time, I asked my friend if she knew of a good place to [...]
Road Trip
Did turning 30 make me go crazy? Maybe. Or maybe I just realized that life is too short. I have a best friend in Arkansas. She drove to Virginia from Ohio a month before I had my first baby to visit Mrs. Preggo (aka: me) and revel in the baby belly. She flew to Virginia [...]
A New Decade
It was still very dark out, the sun hadn’t yet come up. The morning of December 25, 2002, I was scheduled to work a double shift from 7:00 am till 11:30 pm at Akron General Hospital. Spending Christmas Eve with my family the night before, I got to bed much later than usual when working [...]
Getting Organized!
This week has FLOWN by, as usual. We have organized and re-organized and I think we’re almost there. I’m starting to see surfaces again and it’s SO exciting. We did this last May, but with the addition of a new baby since then, and starting to homeschool, space has been limited. Now I’m looking at [...]
Read, Write, Create: Heaven Is For Real
Yesterday, Sophie and I had a “Read, Write, Create” day. I got this suggestion from another homeschooling family who spends the week after the holidays easing back into school with a week of RWC. Picking a book to read together, asking her to write a couple words from the main theme, and creating something that [...]
The Muffin Mom
Yes. That’s me! I’m the Muffin Mom. The muffin mom? Yes, the muffin mom. Do you know the muffin mom that lives on… ok, I’ll stop. Last day of vacation equals major last minute energy surge to get a TON of things checked off the mental list before Luke goes back to work tomorrow and [...]
Traveling Home
What a journey! Three little kids, four years and under, stuffed inside a minivan packed full of presents. If the doll house had been two inches taller, it would not have been possible to bring it home with us. It reminds me of one of our favorite Children’s books, “A Fish Out of Water,” by [...]
Anticipating the New Year
We have had a wonderful Christmas holiday with my family this past week. We’ve laughed and reminisced. We’ve talked and played and ate good food. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for making this Christmas really special for our family. Not only is our visit coming to an end, another year is also coming to an [...]
Breakfast With Santa
Five more days until Christmas and we’ve got one ecstatic little girl over here! And two little girls that really have NO CLUE what’s coming. [Sigh] Childhood blissfulness. Saturday morning we had breakfast with Santa. But not just any ol’ man dressed up in a red suit and haphazard white beard attached to his face. [...]
love to hear from you
