Everyday Life
There’s not a type of illness I hate more than the stomach flu. I will take a cold, sinus infection or even strep throat over the flu. We’ve had the dreaded tummy bug go through our house pretty much the whole month of January. Poor Riley’s had it three times this month and the words…

{Exhaustion} How to cope with the first trimester with young children at home
I’ve been quite absent here in the last few weeks. In case you missed it, we are expecting our third child. While I am not unfamiliar with the exhaustion of the first trimester, I am having to learn the whole new world of being pregnant while being a stay at home mom to two young…

Changes
When trying to think of the many creative ways to announce the news we finally settled on this, a video of Landon. The plan was to have each set of parents and close family over and show them the “cute” video of Landon. Landon had different plans. Even though we really didn’t talk much about…

Our little fish
Many of you (the “old time” followers (aka my mom)) may remember me talking about how Landon had such a fear of water. We tried everything to get him in – and he finally made it near the end of the summer. We joined the local gym, where they have a heated (bathtub) pool and…

Everyday Life {Fire Station Tour}
When we moved to Chico I joined a great mom’s group. We have weekly play dates and several activities each month for the kiddos (and moms!). This last event was a fire station tour. Landon has been to a few before – once when I was still teaching he came along for the field trip,…

Everyday Life {Jumping in leaves and applesauce}
It’s finally fall here. Our weather finally got the memo from a month and a half ago that it’s fall. There are a ton of trees in our neighborhood and town and it’s just beautiful to drive through and see all the vibrant colors. Fall is by far my favorite season. Our backyard has a…

Everyday Life {Pumpkin Patch}
So this is a bit late, as we went quite a bit ago but I figured I would share our pumpkin patch adventure. We went to a new place that I had heard good things about. They are also a non profit organization that helps kids and their families with terminal or severe illnesses. It…

Pumpkin Carving 2012
We carved our pumpkins the night before Halloween. I see all these fantastic carvings on pinterest and wonder how they do it. I’ve never been great at carving pumpkins. We do it every year, and have a great time doing it – they just never look like the ones I see everyone else do. Oh…

I Promise
Today I took the kids to my “old” school (the one I just left teaching for several years to stay at home). I loved going there and seeing all my old colleges and former students. I had waves of hugs and excited looks on the kiddos faces. I loved it. I really do miss it.…

Everyday Life {Illness and slowing down}
This week has been very different. A forced different as Riley has been sick all week. He woke up Saturday with a fever and worsened cough (he’s had a cough for the last 3 weeks). We had planned to go to the pumpkin patch, so instead we stayed home and Brad and Landon did a…
