Iowa Blogger Chasing Twins, Living Life, & More
Babyhood is exhausting, there’s no disputing that fact. The sleepless nights, life filled with feedings and diaper changes, spit up, lots of laundry, bouts of fussiness, even endless crying if colic rears it’s ugly head. The thing is babyhood is also very rewarding and fun. Having had eight babies of my own, I have found […]
I am so not ready for this move. We’re moving this week. I am running in overdrive right now trying to get things taken care of. Several bloggers have been awesome enough to step in with some guest posts for you all to check out while I end up MIA!
Every so often I get swept up in the world of mobile on-the-go entertainment, during these times I have a handful of games and apps that I turn to multiple times on a daily basis. So far this month, these are the apps that keep me coming back. They are especially helpful when I am […]
I wrote about the sacroiliac joint injection I had and that by ten days, we’d know if it would work or not. It didn’t work. I have now been fighting this pain attack for 2+ months and it has gotten unbearable. While many people tell me to rest, my response is simple, I have kids, […]
I am constantly looking for new things for our family to do together or ways to keep our little ones entertained. All too often, I see kids just propped in front of a television. With warm weather, there’s no excuse for not being able to get outside and enjoy the weather and come up with […]
Today alone, there were four appointments among our family. FOUR. As mom, when it comes to a child-related appointment, I am the individual taking on responsibility for these and I can tell you, it isn’t easy. From Lucas’ physical therapy to regular doctors appointments and then some, my schedule wears me out quickly. Today I was asked […]
Today I had an appointment with my pain management specialist. I expected we would do my typical trigger point injections and so forth. I brought up the what has now become constant pain in my hip. I started physical therapy but my movement is still very limited in what they want me doing. I might […]
I have a new phone I have been playing with and of course, my Facebook has been filling up fast with pictures. My cousin Lindsey of Mid-Iowa Computers caught something hilarious in her feed as my pictures were coming through. Sure enough, it was the perfect capture and she tagged me- So this showed up […]

I make it part of our routine to get outdoors at least once a day when the weather permits. My children love being outdoors and playing with neighbor kids.

Discovering that you are pregnant generates a mixture of quite powerful emotions that are to some degree heightened by the hormonal changes that are taking place in your body. Being an expectant mother can be thrilling but it is also a little nerve-wracking, especially if it is your first time. Once the initial euphoria has […]
Our family recently started watching Tanked and obviously, some of the aquarium builds are just absolutely incredible to see. Well, watching the show, my husband is now obsessed with the idea of getting a fish tank. Oh buddy. The last fish tank, I was driven nuts by as I was responsible for the upkeep, etc. […]
