Our PJ Movie Night Family Tradition

By on March 16, 2017

PJ Movie Night is my favorite night!

Yes, I know – I know – we’re supposed to limit screen time for kids. 

But honestly – my kids watch way more than the “recommended 1-hour per day of high quality screen time.” Seriously?! These AAP people must have live-in nannies and maids. Because that’s what we’ll need if I’m expected to only allow my kids to have 1-hour per day of screen time. If you do follow those recommendations – props to you, mama! Anyway…

We’re a tv-loving family. My husband and I love binge-watching shows together and my favorite evenings include PJs, a comfy blanket, a bowl of Ben and Jerry’s, and snuggling up on the couch to watch some boob tube.

I’ve been such a great blogger this month, right? 🙂

Graham was in the NICU for a week and then Josh took another 2 full weeks off from work. This week is the first week I’ve had a little bit of down time. I’m working on Graham’s birth story – it’ll probably take me forever to finish! And then there are a million other things I want to blog about from his first month. I’ve got to buckle down, but it’s so hard when all I want to do is stare at this sweet face. 🙂

So Blessed

By on April 24, 2012

Yesterday, I was standing at the sink in the kitchen, rinsing out a dish, and staring out the window into the backyard. The magnolia trees were swaying in the wind, the sun was shinning, and the grass looked soft and green. I started imagining a little boy or girl running around out there, playing with the pups, smiling and laughing. It reminded me of how blessed I truly am. I’ve always wanted to be a mom, and I’m so excited and amazed that in a few short months, my baby – MY baby – will be here. A baby I can hold and snuggle and care for and love as much as I want. I’m just so blessed.

God is so amazing and I’m so thankful for this little one growing inside of me!

Back from Italy!

By on November 5, 2011

We’re back!

Our Italy vacation was AMAZING! Better than we ever imagined. We had TONS of fun, ate TONS of yummy food and took TONS of pictures. I took a journal and wrote diligently the entire trip – I’m hoping to type up what I wrote here in the blog to share with family and friends…we’ll see how long that takes!

We’re glad to be home (we missed the pups so much!) but I’m so happy that we were able to go and that the trip turned out to be so great!
