Meghan’s Paris-Themed 6th Birthday Party
Meghan's birthday was over a week ago and I still can't believe this baby girl is 6. How did that happen?! Her birthday party was planned for the day before her birthday, but the poor girl was sick. She tested positive for Enterovirus D68. This was her for almost a week straight. Fever, no ...
What Can Happen If You Decide To Speak Up?
During Meghan's first year of preschool, they served juice and some sort of processed food (such as crackers) for snack everyday. It bothered me because those were not things I gave her at home often, but I didn't say anything since she was only there three mornings a week. The next ...
Stitch Fix Review #4: September 2014
Whenever I tell another mom that I have a blog, the first thing she usually says is, "How do you find the time?" The answer is that I don't. I've looked and looked and can never find the time. So I just gotta make the time. I make the time by getting up early in the morning to edit photos. I ...
The Anniversary Post
Yesterday, Tim and I celebrated 8 years of marriage. We were able to get away for one night to have some alone time and celebrate our love. We returned to the same place we went on our anniversary when I was pregnant with Luke. Ohio isn't exactly known for its scenic hiking, but there are a few ...

Home Again
We got home late Sunday night from an amazing, but too short trip to northern Michigan. Seems everyone was traveling home Sunday after the holiday and what should have taken us eight hours took us eleven. Eleven hours in a car with two kids sounds fun, right? It was awesome. As I lay in bed last ...
2 1/2 Years
Remember this guy? He's 2 1/2! I am in awe of the toddler my little baby's grown into. He's a walking, talking, big-boy-potty-using cool guy who is equally loving and gentle as rough and tumble. And I just keep falling more in love with him everyday. Ready for some updates? Feel free ...

7 Years Later: A Story of Faith and Hope
I have a few new recipes to share. I had a fun idea for Fitness Friday. Yet, today, there is only one thing I can write about. The thing that happened 7 years ago that changed everything in my life. My mom was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer with a solitary brain met 7 years ago today. ...
Arizona Dreamin’
It was mid-January, and we were in the midst of the coldest, snowiest winter I'd experienced since moving away from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan 18 years ago. The frigid temperatures and sunless days were taking their toll. The conversation went something like this: Me: We need to get away. ...
