Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

Croup and my Beautiful Boys


The last few days Mr. E has been very sick with a nasty croup sickness. I just about took him to the ER Thursday night but fortunately I was able to open up is airway on my own. I was so concerned about him and I always feel very motherly when my children are sick. It tends to bring out the best in me. I think it allows me to see into my children's soul a little easier and really see to their needs while I put my own aside.
Even though he was feeling pretty awful I could tell he was enjoying the attention he was getting from both of his parents. Especially the attention he was soaking up from his Dad. Jeff was so loving and gentle with him. He set up a little bed for him and snuggled him while he asked if there was anything else he needed or wanted. I am sooooooo thankful for a LOVING HUSBAND that cares so much about his children and expresses that love to them nearly every day. He truly understands his role in their lives and is a WONDERFUL PARENTING COMPANION. Jeff has changed my life in so many ways. Since the day I met him I've become a better person. He makes me feel like I'm the most beautiful girl in the world. Yesterday I purposely went out of my way to find him and give him a kiss. He looked up at me, and with sincerity in his eyes and love in his voice he said, "You're Pretty". It was totally unexpected and I started to cry. I hope with all my heart that my boys take after their dad and that his BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE will fortify them in times of trial or temptation. This morning I truly feel the Hand of the Lord in my life. I have 3 beautiful boys in my life and its making all the difference in the world.

    I'm so sorry he got that! Doesn't it sound so scary? My baby had it last week too.

    I feel the same way when my kids are sick, it tends to bring out my best qualities as a mother. I need to work on making those qualities show up a little more all of the time, not just when they REALLY need me. Does that make sense?

    You and your children are very blessed to have a great husband and father. I feel the same way about my husband!
