I'm a mother of three, five and under. I'm a wife to a perpetual student. (Seriously, just graduate already - I mean, "I support you, honey.") I'm a child to the only Father who can claim to be Perfect, and I study under Him daily in hopes of learning from the Best.
I believe in breastfeeding, natural childbirthing, cloth-diapering, co-sleeping, baby-wearing, and attachment parenting.
Compared to the bottle-feeding, Pampers-wearing, crib-sleeping, day-caring world around me, I thought maybe that qualified me as a Natural Mommy.
Don’t think I’ve told you much about the job search. Well, right now there are two options on the horizon. One is with *the* major engineering software company, located in a suburb of Boston. The other is a teaching job with a Christian university in Arkansas. And since we’ll likely be moving, I think I’ll, [...]

Welp, got off the 8 hour train ride yesterday at 7:30, drove 2 and a half hours home, crashed (into bed, that is), and I’m convinced it’s still Monday.

I didn’t think I’d be able to do this today – BUT MY NEW LAPPY CAME! And so far, perfectly functional. But I still don’t have the time to lay out each picture one by one all pretty-like for ya. I have dishes and laundry and various odd and end jobs to complete so I [...]

…For six whole days. The last time we were apart that long, we were seniors in HIGH SCHOOL. We’re going by train to Missouri to see Gammy and Pop Pop on the 22nd and coming back on the 27th. We decided that September to December was too long for the children to go without seeing [...]

Better question: Where’s my new laptop?! Answer: Sent back to HP. And without it, I don’t do much on the computer. Our only computer left during the day is in the back bedroom and as slow as molasses in January – to quote my Grandmother out of context. Uploading pictures onto it is a frustration [...]

After hearing this question asked multiple times on the same day, a day which was still over three weeks away from the oh-so-exciting train ride, I created the Train Chain. You may remember the Train Chain from your childhood, although you would have most likely called it a Christmas Chain, or more generically, a Countdown [...]

We had company this weekend! Meet Ashley from twentysixcats: We had fun taking pictures with our fancy schmancy d-slr’s: They could only stay a short while, though, and then it was off to the pumpkin patch! We love our pumpkin patches. They hold a special place in our hearts. Where is this Great Pumpkin…? Olivia [...]
