My best friend did this on her blog and so I thought I would join in. Feel free to participate on your blog too! Here are some lovely little randoms about yours truly. I am deathly afraid of spiders. Sometimes I shake my clothes out in the morning to make sure there isn’t one in there. I am addicted … ... [Read more...]

The boys are both in that weird clothing stage where nothing fits perfectly. For Landon, 3T is now too small while 4T is still too big. For Brigham, 18 monthw is definitely much too small (he’s 30 lbs now!) while 2T is a bit too big. It’s so annoying. I feel like they both look a bit homely with … ... [Read more...]

Brigham is 21-months-old. It is very hard for me to grasp that Landon was this same age when Brigham was born. You see, Brigham can communicate. He can say a lot of words at this point. But we can’t have conversations with him. We can’t make him understand how things work. He has to figure that all … ... [Read more...]

Our nighttime routine always includes me singing to Landon. I used to sing to Brigham but he is currently refusing all live performances. I’m not too upset because Landon still has plenty of requests. Once I have finished reading a couple of books it is then time for the musical portion of the … ... [Read more...]

On Tuesday, we had to do the thing that no pet owner ever wants to do. We had to say goodbye to our sweet pug Reubin. For years, he had been unable to use his hind legs very well at all. But over the weekend they gave out completely and his kidneys were also failing him. We wish we hadn’t had to … ... [Read more...]

If you don’t already know this, I’ve been busting my butt to beat a severe depressive episode that began in June of 2011. I think it’s safe to say that I’m finally in the “safe” zone as I like to call it. It took me six long months and a lot (A LOT!) of medication and dosage changes to get me to a … ... [Read more...]

Last week, when I posted my first vlog, I received this anonymous comment: When I first saw it, I was shocked. I quickly logged into my account and sent it to the trash. I’d like to say that I brushed it off and it didn’t affect me. But I promptly left work, drove to chick-fil-a and inhaled their … ... [Read more...]

I would have posted this sooner. Then I realized it took me twenty minutes to record all my answers. And since NOBODY wants to watch a 20 minute vlog I knew I would have to figure out how to edit a video. I had no earthly idea how to do it. But I kinda sorta figured it out last night (yay for … ...

See that guy above? That’s Dave Ramsey. He’s the new man in my life. Or I should say OUR lives. Naaman and I took a leap of faith and enrolled in Financial Peace University. We finally have a plan to get our finances in order. I am tired of being stressed about money and bills and the future. I am … ... [Read more...]

Last week I decided to do a craft with my kids. Something that would help them understand what it is to be grateful for the upcoming holidays. I got the idea for a Thanksgiving wreath from the Chica & Jo website. When I pinned it to pinterest I was like, yeah, whatever. I’m sure I won’t actually … ... [Read more...]
