Worries about little things that I have no control over …is a people pleaser …and therefore has a very hard time saying no …justifies my expensive purchases by "cost ... read more

Missing Home
It was 7:15 on Friday night. All three of use were sitting in front of the TV, listening to music and watching AG's first birthday slide show. AG sat in my lap, drinking her milk with one hand, her other one tucked perfectly inside mine. I was over come with so much love, yet at the same time, sadness. I miss home. I miss our friends. I miss my family. Looking at all of her pictures from her first year of life, makes me realize how blessed we were/are. Makes me realize how loved this little girl is.

DIY Valentine’s Ideas for Him
Hi Friends. First, you can find me over on Emily's blog today talking about date nights in. Valentine's Day is just around the corner (NEXT WEEK) and I'm not ready. Not one bit.

This year, not so much. I will say that most of it is due to having an 18 month old vs a 6 month old. There is definitely not as much down time this year than last. I have a feeling I'll be saying this every ... read more
