Prayers for Tuesday
Tuesday’s mother has requested renewed prayers for Tuesday as they are back in the hospital with a new tumor. Please take a moment out of your holiday time to remember this precious life and her struggle with cancer and send prayers for healing her way.
Letting Go and Having Fun
I’m extremely stubborn. It’s something that has caused a multitude of problems for me and that I’m constantly working on. It’s particularly difficult being a mom because I want to be the laid back mom that is able to let the boys get dirty and make messes and just go with that flow [...]
Creating Christmas Traditions
Being a new parents brings up the question of what traditions we want to have for our family. Some traditions are introduced by us from our childhood and own experiences, others are organic and emerge as the family simply lives our experiences.

I love how Forest dances around all [...]

Numbers and songs
I’ve started introducing the boys to numbers and counting. They already know all the capital letters of the alphabet and most of the small letters, although we are still working on the order via the alphabet song, which they love. It’s adorable to see them trying to count EVERYTHING. It’s a lot [...]
