With Summer starting it’s third month I’ve noticed that although it is beautiful outside there are days that my kids struggle with being active. I could blame it on the weather being 100 degrees F or the fact that we need some down time…but there are simply too many days that are spent in front...
We love to go hiking as a family, but it is definitely a different experience with little kids in tow. Hiking is a great way to introduce your little people to the outdoors, not to mention it is awesome exercise and a wonderful way to bond as a family. Here are 15 tips to help...
I made this sunflower sandwich to put in a Plants vs. Zombies inspired lunch box, but it’s so adorable you can make it anytime. It’s pretty easy to make, but there are a few steps to follow if you want to add it to a lunch box. These steps will help the raisins (petals) not...
Let me first start out by saying that I normally don’t spend a lot of time on my kid’s lunches. I don’t usually take the time to shape their sandwiches into special characters, but I think they are fun for special occasions like birthdays or the first day of school. I decided to make a...
If you guessed that I slept Monday night, in a deep slumber, exhausted from previous days events, you would be wrong. I tossed and turned all night, my head swimming with possibilities, some good and some bad. Even if my body relaxed and fell into some sort of sleep, my mind didn’t and this made for...
Monday I woke up frustrated. I just wanted to know if Jordan would be part of our lives, or not. I could feel that I had started becoming attached and I didn’t want to surrender my heart, unless it was happening for sure. I can’t imagine being one of the families that struggles to adopt...
Sunday I woke up anxious to get to the end of the day because we would meet Jordan. Once again, I was very thankful to be watching General Conference and feeling the spirit of the day. I look forward to General Conference every six months so I can veg in my PJ’s, watch church on...
SATURDAY Saturday was a waiting game. Luckily it was General Conference because I was needing to just sit and ponder. The words and thoughts spoken that day, helped distract me from this looming decision hanging above my head. My emotional self was so raw after fasting the day before and the adoption was forefront in...
FRIDAY I decided to pray and fast all day Friday, in hopes of gaining clarity, as we were making a very serious decision of adopting a toddler, so fast. Jon and I prayed in the morning and then went our separate ways. This was really hard, because I wanted to just sit and talk with...
Our journey adopting a toddler, began three and a half years ago. The following post was written then, but it is s story worth telling, to bring hope to all those searching to find that special addition to their family. Kids are always a blessing, whether they come to our home biologically or through another...

Isn’t it funny how things that were easy to do as a kid are a great workout for us now?
I saw this study that says just framing exercise as fun instead of work helps us choose healthier foods: http://www.latimes.com/science/la-sci-sn-exercise-weight-loss-20140710-story.html
One habit I started with my toddler is we play with balls after my workout. She’s gotten better at kicking a soccer ball, throwing and catching. There’s no agenda, we just have fun spending time together. Our favorite is when other kids are there and they join in. I wish I’d done it with my son too.
