have you ever had a day when…

your kids have colds, you’ve been homebound, the sun is shining, you decide to bundle up the kids and take a walk, you go to starbucks, your son spills your chai, your son refuses to get in the stroller, as you walk across the busy street your son refuses to go any further and lays down in the cross walk, you get shit on by a bird, your son grabs a paring knife off of the counter and runs around the house to keep you from taking it, and your husband lets you know he has a client dinner and he will be home late. yeah? me too.

I like nonsense. It wakes up the brain cells.

Brotherly Love

I realize this is a terrible picture. Blurry-the whole bit.

BUT, these boys absolutely melt my heart. When I look back at them while we are riding in the car and they are holding hands..OH MY..it almost makes me cry. I love that they are best friends and truly do love one another. Judah tells me on a regular basis that he loves Harper. I know they will look out for each other as they grow.

I am so BLESSED to have them.

Happy Halloween

three words

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.

Ready or Not

JUSTIN IS 30!

Some say 30 is dirty, flirty or simply terrifying. I say 30 is inviting. Another decade to live life to its fullest. A new experience!

Farewell 20’s. Nice to meet you 30.

Happy birthday to a man (my man) who is kind, charismatic, strong, and tender. A man who is a loving and supportive husband/friend, a playful and admirable father.

I so love, love, love you Justin Marshall.
