I love birthdays. The day we get to celebrate how special someone is to us is always a day I anticipate. There’s also a certain ‘magic’ about birthdays and celebration as a child that I take immense pleasure in sharing with my kiddos. That being said, I don’t expect for everything to go perfectly for […]
Life with little boys is in some ways what I imagined with some extra noise and rowdiness piled on top. I love the story of Peter Pan. I always have. (How fitting for God to have given me four boys! Ha!) There’s this idea in my head of a perfect childhood for little boys, and […]
Life is always busy. It’s always crazy. I’m sure some of us can claim the craziest day/week/month/year over someone else at some point, but I think we can also agree that the varying degrees of crazy are still crazy. All this to say, life has been crazy 😉 But I’m not going to use that […]
“Is God “God enough” to take my best, stained efforts at childrearing and craft something that brings him pleasure? Is God “God enough” to turn little hearts to him, and to hold them there?” (Excerpt From: Tony Reinke, Karalee Reinke. “MOM Enough.” Desiring God) If we can believe God raised His Son from the dead, […]
How do I manage twins and a newborn? I don’t really. Haha. At least I don’t feel like I do. I may be hiding in my room with a calm and sleeping baby at the moment because I am wiped! My twins have been sick. So that means they fall apart easily at everything. The baby […]
Sometimes in the pridefulness of my flesh I might think I am, but God always gives me a quick dose of humility and reminds me of my desperate need of Him. People often wonder how I managed having twins, especially twins the first time I ever had children. How in the world did we start […]
Hey guys! Sorry this is late. I’ve been working on something which I’m super excited to share with you, but you’ll have to wait a little while longer;) I am still strictly paleo, although as you’ll see from our menu below we aren’t as strict as what some people may be. It’s really more about […]
There are small things we might eat throughout the day that I don’t put in here. Snacks are sometimes just the boys, just me, or all of us. I love avocados, one of my favorite snacks. If I feel like I need more protein, I might just grab something with protein in it real fast. […]
This has been so much easier because we are doing this as a family, and not just one individual. It would’ve been very difficult to cut things out myself but have things that I enjoy in our house tempting me all the time. If it was just one or two things you’re cutting out, not […]
Yes, you read that right. I said “poop”. We have two little boys not yet potty trained, and a newborn. I’m sure poop isn’t on everyone’s frequently used words in a day, but it is in our household. On Monday, I think we may have had the worst poop incident of our parenting career. I’ve […]
