Furniture shopping has quickly become one of my favorite activities. My family doesn't share in my joy here, but they have been troopers as I've hauled them to store after store after store (exciting news, I *may* have found a couch yesterday- I just have to overthink it for a few days ...

Simple Summer
As summer nears I always find myself checking all of the area events and making a Summer Bucket List. I make stops at Wal-Mart & Hobby Lobby to pick up simple crafts for the toddler, moderate crafts for the big kids, and elaborate crafts for myself. I buy new popsicle molds and tell myself ...
The Simple Joys of Motherhood
-Loving & Joy Seeking- Motherhood. It drains me and fulfills me like nothing else ever could. If I don't get too caught up in all that I HAVE to do, I can really practice being grateful for what I GET to do. Today I am grateful for laundry. A bathroom floor covered in dirty laundry is a ...
Rest In Peace Orange Crush
We had a rocky morning as we discovered our daughter's beloved fish, Orange Crush, had passed away. He was 3 years old. Orange Crush spent his time traveling around our home. You'd never know where his jar would be resting. He often sat in the middle of our table as we did school work. Watching ...
Where You Lead, I will Follow
Where You Lead, I will Follow. You know how God puts you right where you need to be? That’s exactly how I felt tonight. Mr. Awesome took the day off of work and we spent our whole entire afternoon visiting furniture stores (yes, again). The kids were tired, I was tired, and we all just wanted ...
Would you like to POP over?

Keep Feeding Them, Daily.
They don't care that it's been only 39 minutes since they last ate, my little people are hungry, always. It's tough being a momma and coming up with meal ideas multiple times a day, each and every day. You'd think we would all have it mastered by now. Here's my advice to get you through a ...
Tip Tuesday: Owning Things
IF you're pressed for time, just read this: Don’t own things that end up owning you. We spent 7 years owning a 7-foot wide humongous take-up-the-whole-wall kind of entertainment center that could only fit an old boxy style TV. When we decided its life here was done, it totally owned us. We ...
Marriage: 2 Tips for Productive Communication
Dear Wives, We’ve all been there, haven’t we? That place in a conversation where we keep repeating ourselves and nothing is getting accomplished. The same conversation seems to drag on for days, possibly even weeks. Oh goodness, has it really been weeks? Yes. It has. Mr. Awesome and I ...
Old and New. Balance. It’s Okay.
It's okay to mix old and new. It's okay to wear fancy shoes and till the garden (or very occasionally help and pose like you did such an incredible job). It's okay to wear blue jeans when you more than likely should've worn a skirt. It's okay to bicker for 2 days with your husband over ...
