Exhaustion takes over.
On Monday, Taylor had PRK eye surgery. He has had terrible vision for a long time, and this surgery is going to make it possible for him to have perfect or near-perfect vision sans glasses and contacts. The bad part? Recovery is really painful. He’s laid up in bed and has to shy away from [...]
Cloth diaper mamas, you don’t want to miss this!
A couple good mama friends of mine opened up their store, Cloth Diaper U, earlier this year. After finding some great success with their business and ability to further their love for cloth diapering, they are at a fork in the road. One is becoming an expat as she moves her family across the ocean [...]
I have to ask a favor…
I hate asking for votes for things. I know it’s kind of tacky to do so, and I swear I wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t really important to me. I’ve entered us into a contest to win a photoshoot with one of my favorite photographers. We have NO pictures of the four of us, [...]
Itchy feet.
In the past three plus years the hubs and I have been married, I have moved five times. I have another move coming up in the next couple months and yet another move this upcoming Spring. We live like nomads, traveling here to there between different Posts as Taylor trains, deploys, commands…whatever duty the Army [...]
Stretch marks and all.
Body image and I have never been friends. I remember, as a little girl, glancing down at my chubby little girl legs and thinking they looked fat as they pressed against the seat of our car. I remember a boy I had a crush on in eighth grade telling me my calves were fat. I [...]
Happy Birthday, Arlo
One month ago you entered our lives. We love you more every day. Your eyes are a beautiful, deep blue. You use them to look around constantly. You smile in your sleep. You eat every two to three hours, still. Occassionally, you sleep for a four hour stretch. You love your pacifier and sleep sheep. [...]
I will own you, Running.
Running and I have a hate/hate relationship. It has always been my “go-to” work out for getting into shape and losing weight. Before my wedding, I was running every day, feeling great, and in the best shape of my life. I continued running throughout my first year of marriage, but when I got pregnant with [...]
And then there were four.
It seems like just yesterday and a lifetime since we’ve added Arlo to the mix of our family. It’s true what “they” say about having a newborn, “Days are slow. Weeks are fast. Months are faster. Years are gone in the blink of an eye.” Some days, I count down the minutes until Taylor is [...]

"I'm a twenty-five-year old mama to two little boys and married to the love of my life. I have a serious Diet Coke addiction and a tendency to overshare. This is the story of us as we flounder through raising our wild, little boys, moving a million times, and buying and renovating our 1968 Ranch home."
