Everyday, you must look for the little things to bring you joy. A hot cup of coffee, a good book, some praise and worship music, a hot bubble bath, etc. I try to make everyday life as magical and beautiful as I can; although a lot of my life is messy and less than magical. […]
This morning I wrote in my journal : “Today, Emmy went to preschool.” Except she did not go to preschool, she went to Kindergarten. Maybe this was my subconscious not wanting to admit she is gone. The years have gone so fast- faster than I could’ve ever imagined they would. So many new beginnings. Jayde […]

Over the last few years I’ve been trying to eat less processed food and more “real” food. I am definitely not perfect and have to admit I have a slight love affair with McDonald’s french fries; but my goal is better not perfection.

Swimming, rafting, horseback riding, jeeping, hiking, and lots of eating was all done. I was SO excited to see what […]
Hello! Last week my mom and dad took my girls for the week which meant lots of cleaning, organizing and some projects for me! I literally took a carful of items to donate and Matt took a load to the dump. I went through school papers, decor, clothes, etc. It felt SO good getting rid […]
I saw her- a woman I aspired to be like. In a white Yukon XL, dressed in the latest fashion trends (whatever they were back then), shiny blonde hair in a ponytail. She was pretty, put together, obviously had money, with a car full of kids in the back. As I drove by her in […]
I definitely am overdue on this blog post! It’s been a while since I’ve updated you all on the back addition- so here is your update! So, electrical is all done! I had to figure out where I wanted lights, can lights, how many can lights to do, outlets, etc. Lots of little decisions! We […]
