About Me

Wife to an amazing husband, Mommy to three adorable littles, all under the age of three! I survive my days as a SAHM with decorating, coffee, organizing, playing with the family, baking, crafting, having playdates, and working towards a closer relationship with God. I have a big heart for foster care/adoption! I am an imperfect perfectionist who strives daily to improve my role as wife, mother and child of God.

Oh, Mondays!

So, we got to get piers put in our foundation.  Woohoo!  We were told they would put "cuts" in the concrete.  In my mind this was a much neater process than what I saw and heard.  Jackhammering for 3 hours was not my favorite, nor Myles', who clung to me those entire 3 hours, covering his ears.  The destruction on the outside was so awful, I thought our house would forever be a big dump.
<-------See that huge hole. Yeah, that would be deep enough that I couldn't see the tops of the guys' heads as they were digging.

Plants uprooted, mud everywhere, holes in my concrete!  Enough to make me have a nervous breakdown:)


Incredibly, by 3:45,my house looked like this:


 Obviously we have some resurfacing to do and some tile work to have done, but to have the porch looking normal from the street...wow!


And, a few pics of my babies from Monday:

Loving Jayden's ensemble for the day:)

 Capturing the SWEET moments at our house!  In between the chaotic moments, meltdowns and sibling rivalry, it's fun to catch the sweet little moments of my favorites!

Mondays



Mondays at our house are usually pretty low-key.  Once Mariah gets home from PreK, we have lunch, play with a bazillion toys, draw, fight and argue, and play computer.  Throw in an intermittent whine, and you get the picture!

We enjoyed a lazy cold weekend and were those people who put up our Christmas tree BEFORE Thanksgiving!  It has never been done this way before, but it was fun!  Late Thanksgiving + sleet/snow + easy weekend=Christmas decorating!!


First time to use homemade scrap garland and a large piece of burlap for the "skirt"...totally digging it this year!


This is SO her style!  She can't keep a straight face for very long-she goes into silly mode and it's quite hilarious!  Future comedian!

 Typical play for Myles...by himself quietly on the floor.
Oh, and that Jayden boy!  Always dressed up in dress-up clothes.  He's always on the move-playing too quickly for a picture!  I was served desserts and coffee:)


Enjoy your Thanksgiving week!!!
