My youngest turned 3 this summer. She is starting to get her own unique personality. After the pandemic hit, we decided it was time to potty train. After all, we didn’t have anywhere to go, or errands to run so it would be perfect timing. Odd to think it took a pandemic to slow down…
Kids during the pandemic
hand sanitizer dispenser at the kids school. Also students put their wrist up to it when they walk in, and it will say if they have a fever or not. I have so much respect for the kids growing up during this pandemic. It is hard for adults who are grown and matured. For kids,…
Being Glad
This month Jerrica and I read a book together. While this may start out sounding like a book review, it really isn’t. This book has left me thinking a lot and trying to applying it to my lives – so I thought I’d share my biggest take away. The book we read was “Pollyanna” by…
It’s ok to not be ok
Ok, it is time to get real. This past year has been crazy. There have been wonderful times and there have been times where I am just happy when the day ends and I crawl into bed. I used to write in my journal a lot. I wanted to always write down the memories so…

Are you small for your age?
Moments since my last post: I was talking on the phone to my friend Charsty. (all of my kids know her) Covey was sitting next to me, and out of the blue said “Mom, can you ask Miss Charsty if she is small for her age?” I started laughing. Covey was very confused and asked…
Coming soon!
In December we had some exciting news in our family. I was pregnant. I had just had a miscarriage about 6 weeks earlier, so while we told the kids, we were cautious spreading the word too early. My body has decided that it does not like making progesterone in the beginning of pregnancies, so I…
Life
So much has happened since my last post. Seriously… It has been almost a year and I haven’t posted anything. I have been finding myself lately kicking myself for not writing things down, and so I am going to get back into doing our family blog to help me journal the journal of my family….
