I’m BACK!

I need to begin this post by thanking you all SO much for all the emails I received in response to my last post several weeks ago. I shared that our family experienced a great loss in June and the outpouring of love, prayers and general well wishes I received in my in box the […]

I’m Here! Just T I R E D.

January 22, 2014 by Katie Filed Under: Blogging, Family Life Leave a Comment

January is 2/3 over already and I have yet to get back to regular posting. If you follow along on Facebook, you may already know one of the reasons. I am tired. Baby Emory, like all my kids, had a sleep regression right at 4 months. However, this kid’s regression has been longer and far […]

Happy New Year!

Whew! I don’t know about you guys, but we had a busy few weeks around here! I tried to spend more time “unplugged” and didn’t even sign into my blog for nearly two weeks! We spent some much needed time hanging out as a family, watching movies (both with and without the kids), and getting […]

It’s been a while…I know. This whole mom-of-three thing has been keeping me busy. I have so many things I want to share with you, yet life has been crazy and hasn’t let me had time to do any blogging. But I hope to slowly get back into it here soon! In fact, I actually wrote […]

Please Excuse the Mess as we Redecorate

September 10, 2013 by Katie Filed Under: Blogging 3 Comments

Happy Tuesday! You’ve probably noticed it has been pretty quiet around here. Baby Emory is almost a MONTH old (can you believe it!?) and we have been just spending time getting to know him and adjusting to life as a family of 5. So as you can imagine, blogging has not exactly been a priority […]

What do You Wish you Would Have Known?

April 24, 2013 by Katie Filed Under: Blogging 3 Comments
