They ask me: "How do you like being a mom?" Here's my answer.

The most common question I am asked is, "How do you like being a Mom?" At first I would flounder through a hodge podge answer that was not only longer than they ever cared to hear, but nearly incomprehensible and completely contradictory. Soon I settled for, "It's amazing," which is true, and also, really all they wanted to hear. That isn't the whole truth though.

I am blessed to stay at home with my child. I wouldn't trade it for anything. With that said, it is no easy task. Taking care of, in my case, two infants under five months old, is like juggling too many fragile objects in a small room where all noises are loud and all surfaces gooey. People may not understand what I mean by, "Sometimes I mentally scream, in my head," that is, until they have done it themselves.

This article is what I wish I could convey to others in a neat, short response. Unfortunately, as a stay-at-home mom, nothing stays neat.

No Children at Church?

Cody and I have been volunteering at Falls City Christian Church for a couple months now, where we take turns each month, teaching a lesson to the kiddos. Not to brag, but we have discovered the keys to a successful lesson: games and candy. This month, I chose to stray from the typical 'bible story' theme and go over how to pray in general. Praying is such a beautiful, powerful and important aspect of our relationship with God. I mean come on, we stinkin' get free 24 hr access to talk to the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. This trumps having Theo James's personal number on my speed dial, which I do; in my dreams. Come Sunday, I was giddy with excitement to teach my lesson! My growing anticipation was stunted however when alas, no children attended church that morning. Bummer eh? Not anymore! because luckily, I have this nifty little blog. So here it is; a 'would-have-been-epic' lesson on prayer! Open your hand and take a look, there should be fiv...

Don't worry it's totally normal...I think.

Parenthood is something else. The odd things I have begun to do are probably typical, at least I tell myself that! Here are some new things that I find happening every-so-often. If you can relate, wonderful, that means we can pretend this stuff is normal together!

A Belated Update

February 23, 2018 Dear friends and family, Hello to you! We write this from the Salem NICU. Here we sit and watch the sky lighten and darken in a morphed cycle of hours that have all blended together. Cody and I have received your text messages and read your Facebook comments. Please accept our apologies for the lack of information or response. Here is an update for all of you who have been wondering about our current situation. Where to start? We found out we were expecting, approximately three days after Cody cancelled his vasectomy and relented to go for “one more baby”. At 15 weeks I measured what would be a normal 20 week size. Two heart beats would clear up that confusion. Surprise! Cody replaced his hesitations about having three children with extreme excitement to have four. I however, was slightly terrified. They say if you can manage three kids that you can manage any number....I guess we’ll find out! Loe and behold, our twin gir...
