Lately I have been doing pretty well with meal prepping, freezer meals, and meal planning. I fit it in during Theo’s naptime and make sure I have a full list so I only make 1 grocery trip a week which saves money and my sanity. I have yet to try and run errands with 4 kiddos by myself! (more…)
Focus on the good. Positive breeds positive. Looking at the bright side.

I’m pretty sure he’s going to have a bit of hair too! (more…)
Between having a husband that travels for work, homeschooling, housework, meals, and being pregnant (baby #4), I’ve been trying to find ways to help me keep on top of daily life and get more stuff done. So today I wanted to share 5 ways I’ve become a more productive as a stay at home mom.
Ah, less than 6 weeks left. I almost can’t believe that’s my 34 weeks pregnant, but then again I sure am feeling it these days! (more…)
Well hello there!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas break and a good start to 2017! (more…)
