Well, it happened to be SNOWING in MAY on the day of Elliott’s very last day of preschool (shout out to Colorado!). So, if you can get past the terrible picture quality of the last day {indoor} photos taken with my phone, you can see the changes in our big man and his little sister in… Continue reading Elliott’s Last Day of Preschool

Potty Training Selah Style
I know this is the weirdest thing on the planet to blog about but Selah makes everything SO hilarious that I want to document this little milestone. AND, I’m certain she will thank me in 20 years…right?!! 🙂 Thanks to Selah, potty training her was an experience that had me in stitches throughout the entire process.… Continue reading Potty Training Selah Style
Elliott is FOUR!!
Towards the beginning of January, Elliott suddenly said to me, “Mommy, I would like an animal birthday party.” I hadn’t talked to him about a party theme, but I will confess that I already had his entire birthday planned out in my head–with a different theme! I’m not used to my kids being able to… Continue reading Elliott is FOUR!!
Love Comes From God
There I was…on the bathroom floor…desperate for my son’s heart to change. We had just had 20 minutes that made me want to clench my fists and jump up and down and throw an honest-to-goodness 2 year old tantrum. I have been praying more than ever lately for my children to have wisdom (more on… Continue reading Love Comes From God
Selah’s First Haircut!
I will be honest, I wasn’t sure this day would actually ever come… Our sweet little girl has taken after her mother, who didn’t have hair for a very, very long time. I had put away her baby book, expecting to pull it out in a few years again to record her “first hair cut”… Continue reading Selah’s First Haircut!
Order In Kid Land
If there’s one thing that’s helped keep order in our lives, it’s having a home that’s orderly enough that my kids can HELP me keep it orderly. I’ve always had some type of bin to store kid toys in, but when we found the perfect shelving unit/bin combo at IKEA, we both knew it was… Continue reading Order In Kid Land
Christmas Count Up 2014!
Well, like last year, we had another super fun advent this year! I added a couple of details to our Advent season this year which made it even more special. Advent Wreath: I had wanted to do this last year, but ran out of time. The night before Advent officially started I remembered I wanted… Continue reading Christmas Count Up 2014!
Selah is TWO!
I have struggled to find adequate words to describe the wonderfulness who is our Selah. She is such a bold, passionate, wild little girl, yet somehow carries the SWEETEST spirit ever… I simply can’t get enough of her. She makes us laugh constantly. She awes us every day with her fearlessness. She melts our hearts with her… Continue reading Selah is TWO!
Selah’s TwoTwo Celebration!
Get it? Like tutu…but TWOTWO…? Haha…okay, moving on :). We spent A LOT of time thinking and talking about what would really bless our little girl on her birthday this year. She doesn’t really have any friends her age, because most of her friends are 3 and 4 year old boys! What she loves most… Continue reading Selah’s TwoTwo Celebration!
Scripture Summer!
I’ll never forget the moment that, after weeks of battling the same problem with Elliott, I had a massive revelation. “The Scripture doesn’t say that my parenting techniques will not come back void…it says, ‘The WORD will not come back void.’” (Isaiah 55:11) I don’t know how I got two years into the whole parenting… Continue reading Scripture Summer!
