My Girl Is Turning Seven

I will never forget holding Brielle when she was a tiny baby, and sobbing. Sobbing sobbing sobbing. How could I be expected to be okay with her growing up? From stage to stage, year to year, changing and evolving. I would in essence lose the little person I was holding and loving so deeply right then and there. Eventually I stopped sobbing and did the only thing I could think of. I prayed to God to help me be strong...

Almost A Year Since Quitting Instagram

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” Mark Twain  I remember so clearly Brenden’s last birthday. We went downtown to one of our favorite restaurants ready to enjoy and celebrate the night away. I remember the  candle-light glow on his face as he leaned in to talk to me.

I didn’t see this added bonus of writing out our adventures until very recently… Suddenly both kids are all about looking at mommamuch to see where they have been and what they have done. SO FUN. So Monday was a day they will probably never forget, even if...

My Baby Is Turning Four

I used to crrrrrrry when they were tiny because they were “growing up!” Little did I know it was just going to be different; not worse or sad, just different. Every stage is better than the last in my opinion. Michael at four is more fun than Michael at two. This might change when he becomes a teenager, but right now there’s just a lot more personality and boy to love. Brenden is so good about helping me keep these...
