In 2008, my husband and I bought a brand new, beautiful car with leather seats, seat warmers, fog lights, wood trim, v6 engine…you know…a car with all the important stuff! haha As I went to sign the papers, my husband said, “Kate, make sure that you understand that when we buy this car you have […]

Dear Friends & Family,I am sorry that it has been so long! I was so wanting to write a blog post a week and obviously it has turned out to be more of a blog post a month kind of deal! Life hit some low points a few weeks ago while we were stressing about […]

My evening has been filled with a very, very grumpy baby! He was even grumpy during his bathtime and that is usually the one thing that can make him happy ALWAYS. My husband and I were going through the usual troubleshooting questions: Is he constipated? Is he hungry? Is he bored? Is he hot? Is […]

You always start to notice what your house looks like when you know company is coming over. You can probably sit in a mess of a place for days before you ever fully realize that your house looks like a wrecking ball came through & destroyed everything in its path.

Hello All! My mind is aboslutely blank today! I have been wanting to write a post for the last week and a half, but I haven’t felt like anything “blog worthy” took place.

1. I always have strawberry cake with strawberry icing for my birthday-it has to be store bought not homemade! 2. Hablo Espanol. 3. I’m the oldest of five children-it was the best time ever! 4. I played basketball & ran cross-country in college for two years. 5. Todd & I only dated for 3 months […]

I have been frustrated with so many things! Logan woke up sick at the beginning of the week, I woke up sick the next day, the house is messy and I can’t seem to get it in order, I’m pretty sure my washer and dryer think I have abandoned them, I haven’t been able to […]

This morning I woke up completely exhausted. My mind and body ached as though I had just run a marathon. But it was no marathon that had me utterly beat…it was my infant. Up again, down again, up again, down again…that was the pattern for the night. At 5:30 this morning I gave up entirely […]
