This Mother’s Day was wonderful. It started off by Randy sending me flowers to work on Friday. They weren’t just flowers…they were amazing. Then on Saturday I spent the entire day alone with my kids. I’m not going to lie…it wasn’t all puppy dogs and rainbows. Having these 2 all to myself for the day …

Bible in 90 Days
One big reason I haven’t posted much on the blog is because every spare minute that I have had this year has gone to reading the bible. I know that sounds so pious and fancy, but it isn’t. Our church is reading the bible in 90 days as a group and it is wonderful to …

I think she’s finally done

Train.Wreck
Today I am a complete train wreck. As I was pulling out of the driveway I saw Reed running down the hill towards me. I knew Randy was way in the back of the house getting Alison dressed so I had to throw it in park and try to get him inside. Words weren’t working …
