Throwback Thursday: 2007's Christmas Update

Dear Friends and Family,
It is so much fun for me to look back and see what was happening years ago. This post happened exactly 12 years ago in 2007 and it's amazing to think of all that has happened since these girls were so tiny. Enjoy!

Family Friday: Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month


The Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Movement began in the United States in 1987. On October 25, 1988, American President Ronald Reagan designated the entire month of October 1988 as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month  (For more information)

Not every one knows...it's not common knowledge, but we have had several pregnancy losses. A set of twins and several singletons. The pain goes away over time...but there are times I feel the loss.

If you have suffered loss this way...you are not alone!

God bless,
Heidi

Not So Wordless Wednesday: Reflecting on Patriot Day

Today is a somber day of reflection...

Earlier this spring I found a journal entry which reflects what happened from
my perspective that day.
I will never forget my cousin banging on my door early that morning...
I grabbed my 2-year old and 4-month old and went to an apartment next door to
watch the news with friends.
I will never forget the terror that gripped my heart and I held tightly to my new baby
and watched the world crumble in front of me...

Monday Madness: Even Mama Needs a Break

When I was a young mom, I remember feeling so guilty if I did anything for myself such as go out to dinner with friends, take a nap or go for a walk by myself. There was always so much to do. The list was a never-ending rotating event of laundry, dishes, cleaning, rocking, sleepless nights and nursing/feeding tots.

I remember thinking "If I have downtime, how will all these tasks get done?"...

Throwback Thursday: Man and His Boys...

 One December Day in 2017, Peter decided to take the boys for a hike...

They went to one of the local hiking trails and enjoyed some "man" time...

Thankfully, Peter remembered to take pics for me...

Enjoy!

Family Friday: First River Trip of 2019

Do you have a favorite spot that you and your family like to go to ever summer?

It may not be amazing or incredible, 

But you all want to go every year?

We have a spot on one of the rivers near us that we go to every Spring and Summer.

It's not a place that everyone wants to go to...

And that's what makes it perfect for us!

We made our first trip for the season a couple weeks ago and I made this video below.

ENJOY!


It's the last day of May, go out and enjoy it!

God bless,
Heidi

Happy Mother's Day 2019

I originally posted this January 23, 2009, and rather decided that Mother's Day was a great day for it to repost this year! 
I am blessed to have had a "mean" mom! Back in 2009, my hope was to be just like her and as my girls have sweetly (literally) let me know, I was able to accomplish that. In fact, they hope to be a "mean" mom just like their mom and Nana! 
Just silly writing by an unknown author, but I hope you enjoy it. Better yet, I hope that you had a mother that loved you enough to be a "mean mom".
Happy Mother's Day, Marme!

Surprise Saturday: Mother's Day Road Trip


In 2014, Sierra, Shelby and I took an epic road trip in my VW Bug.
It was a beautiful Mother's Day spent with a couple fun and crazy girls!
