I\’ve been really lucky to have some amazing inspiration for this new year’s resolutions. Cass Miller wrote this awesome blog post and Jewl Hinton offered this perfect list to get me started: I\’m also pretty in love with my new planner which offers a space to write down and track progress on my resolutions! Things …
I\’ve been busy with births over the last week and it’s made me refocus on how I\’m doing at self-care. Self-care is something January Harshe (my #wcw on insta this week) is big on teaching. Self care is awareness of your needs as a mother, as a woman and for me as a birth worker. …

I am so, so sad to see him go-he’s been an excellent Doctor for us and helped us through many trying things throughout our young family’s life. He caught my husband’s bells palsy VERY quickly and …

My goal this month is to take time each week and think about what I\’m thankful for and post about it on Thursdays. With Thursday being the day of Thanksgiving and the nice sound of the hashtag #thankfulthursdays it just works out well for me. A few years ago I adopted the attitude that every …

“When I die, I want to fall in my bed exhausted, covered in scars, stories buzzing in my head, of memories and inside jokes, from a lifetime of misadventure. My broken bones barely healed, my weathered skin and matted hair, a body running on fumes. And will lay there, a room full of grand children, …
You guys, we are loving Montessori. I\’m often asked about how that’s going and it’s going so well. The above video paints a pretty clear picture of why we love it so far and answers many of the common questions everyone has. It is so different from standard school! Last year Paisley went into kindergarten …
Last Monday night we celebrated Kim’s birthday. For years Jon has been bragging about his superior cake decorating skills (he won a blue ribbon in 4-H and everything) and so we finally decided to put all of that knowledge to good use. It turned out better than we ever could have imagined. A couple interesting …
