I'm not going to lie, I was a bit jelly of all the people who started setting up for Christmas early this year. We got several early snows that really just put everyone in the mood for Christmas! But when you are moving the week of Thanksgiving, you cnanot really set up for Christmas! Haha! I was a bit worried that it would be hard to get our act together enough to decorate for Christmas but I love this season too much not to try to make it work! lol. As we unpack boxes all around the house, ... continue reading...
My Thankful List This Thanksgiving
The older I get, the more I'm learning to roll with the punches. Sure I would love to be comfortable and moved into our home with a functioning kitchen for the holiday but that is not our reality.

We'll all meet up at Bruce's parents for the Thanksgiving meal and it's going to be great. A couple years ago I would have had a hard time ... continue reading...

There have been some "Easter Eggs" around here in Instagram stories, social posts, and blog posts which some of you caught onto and it was always fun getting replies from you about her name. Bruce and I like to settle on a name as soon as we can. We love to be able to refer our babies by their names in conversations, plans, and prayers! Typically we lay ... continue reading...
Bump up your Calcium During Pregnancy
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Viactiv Calcium Soft Chews. All opinions are 100% mine. When I was pregnant with Hilde, I chipped a tooth while eating a bowl of cereal. No joke. After Bruce and I laughed at the crazy situation, I figured I needed to let my doctor know and also call the dentist. It was just a couple days before my next doctor’s appointment so when I went in, I told her the story. "You need to start taking calcium ASAP" was her response to my freak ... continue reading...
